BeauFort London Iron Duke is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Julie Dunkley. Iron Duke opens with Tobacco, settles into a heart of Leather and Rum, and dries down to a base of Gunpowder. BeauFort London's Iron Duke carries an Acquired verdict, a smoky-led wear.

This is not for the faint of heart, mate. Iron Duke is a brutal, divisive beast of a fragrance with a 'love it or recoil in horror' vibe. If you're after something that screams 'I've seen things,' this is your scent. Absolutely no blind buys, unless you're feeling recklessly bold.

Its immense sillage and longevity, combined with its intensely smoky and animalic profile, make it entirely unsuitable for office wear. It's a statement piece best reserved for intimate evening events or as a bold choice for a date night, where its unique character can truly shine.

About

Iron Duke opens with a punchy, boozy rum note before quickly plunging you into a dark, smoky blend of gunpowder and rugged leather. It settles into a rich, animalic tobacco, evoking images of battlefields and old world charm. There's a persistent, almost metallic edge throughout, giving it a unique intensity.
