Nice boozy leather

I tested Iron Duke specifically looking for a fragrance with a gunpowder scent. It opens with a subtle metallic/smoky scent that is surprisingly fresh. It quickly loses that and dries down to a lightly sweet and boozy leather fragrance with a touch of hay. The hay scent doesn't stay long and you're left with a really nice boozy leather. Really didn't get much gunpowder. What was there was really buried and didn't last long. Totally masculine; to call this unisex is ridiculous. Longevity is very good, at least 10 hours for me with good sillage the first hour or two.

For "Smells Similar", I'd say Iron Duke is closest to Cruz del Sur I but definitely not the same. I find Cruz del Sur I to be superior - a richer and deeper fragrance. But I find Iron Duke to be a very nice fragrance on its own.

Perfumes are a matter of taste, and thus subjective

First note: burnt rubber, with old dried sweat from gym clothes (damp drying in a closed room and then reworn and re hydrated by your sweat) .
I swear to whatever, I had headaches, and felt like vomiting.
The first time I sprayed it, I washed it off after 15 minutes.
On my second attempt, I tried to rub the skin to burn the first note off, and although I could smell something original and interesting past it, it was tragically overwhelmed by the first one.

Third attempt, layering it, I sprayed it as a base for the Guerlain Les Absolus d'Orient Oud Essentiel, and it became decent. Guerlain broke the first note (to my nose it's stench, that ends up being sweetened) . Now, seeing it needs another expensive EDP, makes no sense for the price tag.
Alone by itself it' s bad; but if you invest, it becomes interesting and decent. However, at the 300$ mark (total of 2 Perfumes) , you can find better, less chaotic ones.

Not layered, it' s salty, stinking.
The Rum note is very metallic to my nose.
The silage is very good and it lasts a lot.
Last note stays on my skin up to 8 hours.

Another highly praised one (by 'perfume conesieurs' internet users) that was sold after 3 attempted sprays.

They don't make men like this anymore

What a true man should smell like.

This juice can make you grow hair on your chest, but you shall wear dark clothes and have an off the charts confidence. The gunpowder note is somehow there, but it's not cloying or difficult. As a matter of fact, it's quite "user friendly", easy to wear and a compliment magnet.

For what it costs, it's a must if you're a man who drinks whiskey straight, but who's never forgotten his manners. Like Sir Wellesley, I suppose.

Beaufort / Iron Duke

Iron Duke ... a fragrance for an individualist and a person who does not care about the opinions of others. Certainly one of the harder smells, but extremely narcotic and addictive. Boys who like sweet eups should avoid it from a distance. It is the scent of pure rum mixed with smoky incense, tobacco (pipe?), Hardwood floor polish, animal notes (horse?), Leather and the smell of gunshots (gunpowder?). Who has had or has a gun and whoever shot it knows what it smells like. Gunpowder ... burnt, scorched. And the most beautiful thing about this fragrance is that what I wrote above I don't feel it right away ... this fragrance develops, changes ....
Chameleon, masterpiece, masterpiece. I don't know how they do it, but colleague Leo Crabtree - drummer, or rather ex Prodigy drummer, writer and granddaughter of the sailor - the one who founded Beaufort London is a genius. He combines what is unusual and surprising with the history of England, sailing, the sea, his ideas and the unusual noses of perfume makers. Beaufort London is a high percentage of uniquely unique, durable, innovative and artistic works with a capital A, which in my opinion is however largely influenced by colleague Leo. I RECOMMEND.

for a man's man

there may be notes but they come together so unpleasantly and forcefully that the smell is pretty much just an overwhelming sense of violence. it feels like the worst of masculinity. it's bloody, it's oppressive, it's old. it's rank in an offensive way. it isn't viscerally disgusting (secretions magnifiques), it's just extremely distasteful
