DUKE OF BURGUNDY by Moth and Rabbit is a unisex Eau de Parfum created by Mark Buxton, shaped around a floral, woody and ambery signature with an unmistakably refined and unconventional spirit. It opens with a nuanced burst of angelica, peach, green notes, freesia and davana, creating a first impression that feels luminous, airy and gently fruit-tinted. From the very beginning, the fragrance sets up a compelling balance between freshness and depth, between vegetal clarity and a warmer undercurrent that gradually emerges with elegance.
At its heart, DUKE OF BURGUNDY becomes more tactile and enveloping. Osmanthus and jasmine bring a polished floral richness, while leather, cereal note and skin note introduce a highly distinctive texture that feels intimate, evocative and quietly sensual. Rather than aiming for an obvious floral beauty, this central accord builds dimension and personality, turning the fragrance into an experience with presence and complexity. The interaction of blossom, leathered nuance and skin-like warmth creates a beautifully unusual tension between softness and material depth.
The base settles into a warm, layered trail of shoe polish note, soft animal note, musk, heliotrope, cedarwood, sandalwood and amber. Woods give the composition structure, amber wraps it in a smooth glow, and heliotrope lends a subtly powdery facet that softens the darker tones. The result is a perfume with a strong aesthetic identity, ideal for those drawn to fragrances that tell a story through contrast, texture and atmosphere. In its 50 ml format, DUKE OF BURGUNDY captures the creative language of Moth and Rabbit in a composition that feels distinctive, modern and richly faceted.
