The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Desire Platinum by Alfred Dunhill, launched in 2022, is a Woody fragrance that blends fresh and spicy notes with warm and earthy accords. The top note of rhubarb brings a bright, slightly tangy freshness to the composition, while pink pepper adds an invigorating and bold layer to the heart. This combination creates a dynamic tension between crispness and warmth, making it both memorable and engaging. The base notes of musk and sandalwood provide a warm, earthy finish that lingers throughout the day, grounding the fragrance in understated luxury.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure the rhubarb top note has enough presence without overpowering. The musk and sandalwood base notes develop slowly over time, so it's best for daytime wear when you want a fragrance that evolves gracefully throughout the day.
