Have you worn Duc de Vervins?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. Beautiful, but it fades quickly. The opening is a clean, citrus explosion that evolves into something floral and spicy. Once dry, it smells like green soap. If you test it in the bottle, it reminds me of Drakkar Noir, but on the skin, it’s a different story altogether. Top-quality fragrance, though it barely lasts four or five hours.
