The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Alfred Dunhill, Desire Blue Ocean is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of fresh sea air and crisp citrus. The top notes of citruses introduce an immediate sense of clarity and vibrancy, while the middle note of sea accords evokes the salty mist of ocean waves. The composition settles into a base of patchouli, grounding the freshness with earthy warmth. This fragrance reflects Alfred Dunhill’s commitment to blending classic sophistication with contemporary elegance.
Desire Blue Ocean opens with a bright burst of citrus that fades within two hours. To make the most of its aquatic and woody base notes, apply two sprays to your pulse points in the morning for lasting comfort throughout the day.
