Launched in 1985 by the esteemed French perfume house Houbigant, Duc de Vervins is a leather fragrance that encapsulates an aromatic and fresh spicy essence. The composition opens with a vibrant accord of lavender, bergamot, lemon, rosemary, and sage, creating a crisp and invigorating first impression. As it settles, nutmeg and oakmoss introduce warmth and depth, while patchouli and musk provide earthy undertones that ground the fragrance in rich complexity.
