It is a peculiar combination.
Doc Constantine's Medicine show now reminds me less of Tombeur as it was when I first received it. There is a certain soft, rounded, powdery undertone to it and Alchemical Laboratory bear even more of it. I suspect that was the carrier oil that does this. It does dry fairly slow, low throw and silage, yet perfect for pillows and linen.
Iron Duke and Cerberus on the other hand, are more intense despite the small amount I have applied. My friend gifted me samples of both, along with plenty of goodies, therefore I have been trying out new scents recently.
Iron Duke does have a very classy opening of tobacco and rum, possibly some metal. For the first 10 minutes upon application, I was unsure that my friend would fall in love with such a elegant scent. But then it became very animalic, leathery and rugged, I started to understand how appropriate it is for a metalhead in summertime to wear band shirts and this.
Iron Duke have the strongest throw out of these three, because I can barely smell anything but Iron Duke unless I stick my nose to my other arm (where Cerberus is applied), while both of them open as strong.
By looking at Beaufort London's website alone, I can see Terror & Magnificence being my cup of tea, along with Rake & Ruin and Vi et Armis.
Cerberus on the other hand, introduces itself with a punch in your face with spices. It was so intense that I thought of washing it off. When dried, on skin, it unraveled its warm and woody side. Like after being triple barked at and then getting a sniff and a hug from a huge, hellish doggo. As the woods excuse themselves, the hellhound ended up smelling like sweet pumpkin spice and you have a puppy in your arms, happily wiggling its tail. interesting...
Fabled Fragrances is definitely worth looking into. I can already picture myself purchasing Athenaeum and Dracula. Although more time is needed for trying out other samples.

Every time a cat sits in a shoe box, I can almost hearing this playing in the background.
