Duc de Vervins

Duc de Vervins from Houbigant, released in 1985, is a classic aromatic masculine with a bright citrus lift. Herbs lead, with citrus strongly present and spicy, green, musky and floral touches.

Its notes are listed as one blend. Lemon and bergamot give a fresh, zesty brightness. Lavender, rosemary and sage bring a clean, herbal, barbershop-style character, and geranium a rosy, slightly minty floral note. Nutmeg adds a gentle warmth. Underneath, oakmoss gives a green, mossy depth, patchouli an earthy note and musk a soft, clean finish.

Its fresh, herbal character makes it a dependable everyday scent, suited to the office, daytime wear and the milder seasons. It will appeal to someone who enjoys a traditional, refined gentleman's fragrance in the classic aromatic style, with herbs and moss rather than sweetness, and who values understated elegance over trends.
