The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1996 by Alfred Dunhill, D is a fragrance that marries the crisp freshness of citrus with the warmth and depth of woody accords. Perfumer Gerard Anthony created this aromatic fougère to embody a balance between modernity and tradition — much like how Alfred Dunhill transformed his father's saddlery into an automobile accessories store in 1893, blending heritage with innovation. D opens with a bright burst of Amalfi lemon and mandarin orange, punctuated by the freshness of mint and cypress, before settling into a heart of rosewood, lavender, and jasmine. The base notes of sandalwood, cedar, musk, and oak moss provide a grounding warmth that anchors the composition.
D has a strong opening with its bright citrus notes, so one or two sprays are sufficient. The composition evolves over time, with the base notes revealing themselves after about an hour. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want a fragrance that starts fresh and gradually warms up.
