Moresque White Duke is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. White Duke opens with Bergamot, Geranium, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Amber, Opoponax, Peru Balsam, and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Benzoin, and Incense. Moresque's White Duke carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

White Duke is an aromatic, resinous scent that feels dressed up without trying too hard. The herbal opening and incense base give it a serious, slightly old-world character. A good pick for cooler days and smart occasions.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

White Duke opens on clary sage, geranium and bergamot, a green and herbal start with a citrus sparkle. The heart goes deeper and warmer, with amber, thyme, opoponax and Peru balsam creating a resinous, lightly sweet core. The base is dominated by incense and benzoin, with patchouli adding an earthy finish. This eau de parfum sits between aromatic and amber styles, with a smoky, balsamic feel. It is measured and tailored, more about atmosphere than freshness.
