LeatheryWhat does Iron Duke smell like?
It opens with metallic notes, star anise, tobacco, Cambodian oud and liquor. In the heart, animalic notes, charred wood and leather come forward, while soap softens the harder edge. The base of bourbon whiskey, gun powder, musk and hay settles into a sweet, earthy warmth.
Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good; most pick winter and fall, with summer far behind. It is worn for evenings, leisure and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, with a classic feel. Xerjoff Luxor and David Jourquin Cuir Tabac have a close profile.
