    Base Notes

    Leathery Wood
  • Conforming to the expectations of his class, Duke Nelson married the most coveted girl in London: the Duchess Rose.

    Yet the Duke is eccentric and unusual, his whimsical airs set society tongues wagging. Rumours abound that his marriage is yet to be consummated!

    His perfume is as ambivalent as he is: a floral yet masculine woody fragrance.

Mysterious Review
This was my second foray into the Portraits series, and is kind of an antonym to my first (Roaring Radcliffe). When they say it's ambiguous, they're ...right! This could almost be a unisex scent, both floral and woodsy. It's fresh but also has an undercurrent of a more masculine smell. It feels a little like you can't quite figure it out. I would love for my entire house to smell like this one, actually.  ... more

True To The Image Review
I initially bought this because of the dog. I love dogs, so I figured why not. The scent is not too overpowering. Some scents feel to scream masculini...ty, others are too feminine. However, this is the perfect in between. Its floral notes create a welcoming scent. However, the lasting notes of Gin show strength and personality. Also, my dog loves the scent. She is all over me whenever I wear this cologne. I definitely know why they chose a dog for this particular portrait.  ... more

A Grin That Doesn'T Fade. Review
From the moment I sprayed on the skin I grinned, that turned to a smile shortly after. I knew that Much Ado About The Duke was special, I didn't reali...se how much so, until a few hours later. The dry down retains the leather, and rose, the gin sinks down to a warm slightly fizzy feeling. It dances on the skin. Waking up this morning to the bottle on my shelf, I was grinning before I had even taken the stopper off.   ... more
