The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 by Alfred Dunhill, Driven Eau de Toilette is a Woody Aromatic fragrance created by perfumer Catherine Selig. This composition opens with bright green apple and bergamot, creating an invigorating freshness that cuts through the air. The heart of black pepper and juniper berries adds a subtle spiciness, while clary sage brings a herbal depth. As it settles, orange blossom lends a delicate floral touch, complemented by teak wood, amber, and vetiver, which anchor the scent with earthy warmth.
Driven Eau de Toilette has a bright opening that fades within two hours, so apply it liberally to ensure you capture its full essence. The base notes are robust enough to last through the day, making it ideal for daytime wear.
