Vi Et Armis vs Iron Duke

Vi Et Armis is widely praised as a sophisticated, high-quality niche fragrance with a boozy, smoky, tobacco-forward character reminiscent of 19th-century warehouse atmospheres. While universally acknowledged for excellent craftsmanship and performance, it's recognized as a bold, unconventional scent best appreciated by adventurous fragrance enthusiasts willing to test it on skin before judging.

Iron Duke by Beaufort London is a divisive fragrance with strong gunsmoke and leather notes. While admirers praise its bold, animalistic power, others report disappointment when the actual scent differs from initial expectations, making sampling before purchase strongly recommended.
