Inspired by an elegant banquet. Ducalis opens with a slightly sweetened, dull nutmeg nutmeg-spiced rose before moving to its heart. As the composition enters its early heart the rose gradually dissipates, yielding first to smooth, slightly powdery ylang-ylang and iris-infused suede before morphing moments later into a screeching, sharp semi-metallic woody floral accord that takes over as a star and never cedes its position through the finish.
