Duncan

6.5

Anglia-Perfumery

Fresh · Green · Sweet

Anglia-Perfumery Duncan is a fresh, green fougère for men with a woody, spicy character; it has been discontinued. Duncan's longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes makes these figures only a rough guide.

Spices and leather add a firm edge beneath, woods and patchouli set a dry, woody base, and musk softens the corners with a touch of sweetness. The fougère notes hold it all together in a classic barbershop spirit.
