Duke of Burgundy

Duke of Burgundy, created by Mark Buxton for Moth and Rabbit Perfumes, is a woody floral with an animalic, skin-like musk and a varnish accord. Everyone who describes it calls it woody and floral, most also notice musk, and a minority find it green, amber and leathery.

Angelica and green notes give the opening an earthy, herbal freshness, and davana adds a boozy, fruity tone. The heart is floral and soft: osmanthus brings an apricot-like suede, heliotrope an almond powder, freesia a light sweetness and jasmine a sunny radiance, with peach for fruitiness. A cereal note adds a toasty, grainy warmth, and a varnish accord a sharp, polished, slightly solvent edge. The base is warm and skin-like, with leather, animal notes, skin and musk giving a sensual warmth, framed by cedar and sandalwood.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who enjoy unusual, textured niche fragrances. The profile points to autumn and spring, evenings and intimate occasions. Those who like animalic florals with a woody, slightly lacquered finish should find it fascinating.
