Ducalis begins as an air refresher of Lenin for a little while then turns into party foam spray. It’s quite artificial and complex with weird smell. It could be a good perfume when taken seriously but i really wonder, what was the idea behind it? as i begun after a while smelling car washing soap and soap on tires! it travels between 2 locations but the soap remains the intersect.

My first reaction regarding this perfume was despair in the skin. Not that it’s bad, on the contrary, it is very bad. I would put it among one of the worst and most mediocre handmade perfumes and niche that I felt this year and perhaps among the worst I’ve ever tested, along with several Montales that for me deserve the hell of perfumery. Hatria seems an antiseptic coming from Satan, a very bad smell of a distorted and strange figure of sandalwood, cedar and amber. Reminds me cheap masculine scent, powerful, those who persecute, choke the nose and seem to want rather to please you subjugate and destroy your sense of smell. Only after hours of evolution some nice and creamy sandalwood appears, but nothing really interesting that it’s masochistic torture that this perfume offers.
Can i give -10 of 10?

The whole Angela Ciampagna line reminds me of Rania J’s line — well put together blends for the most part, but a tad dated-smelling and too removed from my own preferences. Ducalis reminds me the most of Rania J’s overall aesthetic (a line that is similarly distanced from my style), only this one’s quite unpleasant.
What makes it unpleasant is the over reliance on dryness that’s the result of a norlimbanol kind of material (lots of it) — an aroma chemical so harsh that it’ll sear your nostrils and knock your nose out of commission for a few hours if you smell too much of it. Although there’s no risk involved of that happening here, the effect is just too forceful. It’s as though it’s being deployed as a featured note rather than a background effect which is not a good move at all. The rest of the scent seems to be a earthy, botanical, almost fungal take on oud, thrown together from a bunch of different notes: rose, pine notes, leather. It somewhat maps onto the style of Rania’s Oud, and perhaps even Piguet’s Oud, but it’s not a patch on Rania’s yet it’s several levels above the Piguet (which is a hideous, hideous perfume). If it wasn’t for the norlimabol spill, this might be more tolerable, but I’m struggling to understand this scent’s place in the lineup. It’s the worst of the line for me by far.

Totally agree with Alfarom on this one.I loved the salty,aquatic vibe(which is present in some of the other fragrances from the brand),which gave an unexpected freshness to the rose-oud-wood mix,but overall this felt unoriginal, sharp and aggressive.Not for me.

Ducalis is the typical iteration of oud westerner style that relies on sharp dry woods and spices. Think about a slightly less aggressive Montale and you’re there. Cedarwood, synth-mysky-leather, norlimbanol (or any other similar woodyamber) *adorned* by subtle florals such as a rosy pattern and maybe some geranium and with an overall aquatic vibe. If you like Montale’s style or certain Nasomattos, you might dig this one but for me, Ducalis is way too late to the party.
Potent, aggressive and extremely long lasting.
Probably my least favorite in this otherwise fantastic range.
