Ducalis

SALT / OUDExtrait de Parfum Effortlessly elegant and dry at first, showing a woody-floral blend with dark shades and spicy hints. It progressively unveil its beautifully intricate texture: sweet, velvety, slightly metallic flowers on warm, balmy but also dry and really austere woods: two main “axes” each comprising several facets that you get throughout the evolution. Flowers range to the obscurity of rose and jasmine, to whiter shades of lily and cyclamen; the same for woods, which comprise nuances ranging from sandalwood (“juicy”, sweet, bright and cozy) to drier, shadier notes of rosewood and cedar, with some added weight thanks to cloves, leather, and nutmeg. A touch of amber and vanilla provide some sweet and warm “roundness”. Overall Ducalis may appeal fans of oud scents as well, but with a western versión of it.
