Moth and Rabbit Duke of Burgundy is an Eau de Parfum, created by Mark Buxton. Duke of Burgundy opens with Angelica, Davana, Green Notes, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Cereals, Leather, Jasmine, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Resins, Amber, and Animalic. Moth and Rabbit's Duke of Burgundy carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This is not for the faint-hearted. A cult favourite, Duke of Burgundy is a provocative, introspective ride through a dirty-but-composed narrative of leathery musk, fruit and skin. You'll either love how it challenges your senses or be utterly repulsed; there's no middle ground here.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date

This fragrance isn't designed for the office; its distinctive animalic and musky facets are likely too challenging for a professional setting. It shines on a date, creating an intimate and intriguing aura, though it's too bold for casual wear and definitely not suited for formal events or sport.

About

Duke of Burgundy opens with a flash of green-tinged peach and delicate freesia, quickly enveloped by an intoxicating, almost dusty leather accord. The heart reveals a complex tapestry of osmanthus and warm skin musk, evoking a sense of intimate closeness. As it dries down, the animalic notes surface, alongside a rich blend of amber, cedar, and heliotrope, settling into a dark, sensual, and undeniably powdery finish.
