Prince Douka by Parfums Marquay: launched in 1951. Originally named "Parfum Douka" when it was first released in 1949.
The name refers to Douka, Tieghemella africana, also called Makore wood, sometimes used in place of African Mahogany (Khaya spp.), and has been sold under the trade name Cherry Mahogany, though the wood is not closely related to any of the species or genera in the mahogany (Meliaceae) family.
