The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Desire Gold by Alfred Dunhill launched in 2020 as an evocative floral fragrance for women, blending bright citrus and green top notes with a warm, powdery base. The composition opens with bergamot and black currant before giving way to the freshness of apple and papyrus. At its heart lies Grasse rose, which is enveloped by vanilla, oakmoss, and musk, creating an aroma that balances crispness and warmth. This fragrance embodies the sophisticated elegance that Alfred Dunhill has come to represent, combining classic elements with modern refinement.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays initially; the citrus and green top notes will fade within an hour, allowing the powdery and musky base to take center stage. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than across a room, making it perfect for intimate settings or casual daytime wear.
