Penhaligon's Much Ado About the Duke EDP for Men
Fragrance Details
Penhaligon's Much Ado About the Duke EDP for Men is a bold yet refined leather-rose fragrance that opens with a sharp hit of India-spiced pepper, cumin, and citrus before settling into a cool, gin-laced rose heart.
It evolves with a distinctly masculine edge, where leather and mentholated undertones balance the floral softness to create something daring and thoroughly original. This is a rose for men who have no interest in playing it safe.
- Notes of pepper, cumin, rose, gin, leather, and wood
- A floral leather fragrance with cool, spiced depth
- Launched in 2016 by British heritage house Penhaligon's
- Suits confident, whimsical men who wear fragrance as a statement
Penhaligon's has been crafting eccentric, characterful British perfumery since 1870, and Much Ado About the Duke is one of the house's most memorable expressions of its playful, genre-defying spirit.
