The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009, 51.3 N by Alfred Dunhill is an aromatic-spicy fragrance that embodies the brand's British heritage and its early innovations in automobile accessories. The composition begins with a fresh burst of rhubarb and grapefruit, cutting through with a crisp green note that gives way to spicy pepper and pink pepper. These top notes are balanced by lavender and sandalwood, adding warmth without heaviness. The base layers settle into vanilla and a powdery woodsy accord, creating an enduring yet subtle trail.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so the focus should be on the warm base notes that emerge over time. This fragrance is best for daytime wear, as it offers a fresh yet understated presence throughout the hours.
