The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2003 by Michel Almairac, Dunhill by Alfred Dunhill is an aromatic woody scent that embodies the brand's legacy of British elegance and modernity. The composition begins with a vibrant blend of lavender, lemon, and clary sage, creating a fresh spicy opening that cuts through any heaviness. As it settles into the heart and base notes, iris, cedar, and orris root add a powdery warmth, while leather and tonka bean bring an earthy depth. This fragrance is both lasting and contemporary, reflecting Alfred Dunhill's transformation from saddlery to luxury goods.
Apply Dunhill with two sprays to the pulse points. The aromatic top notes are bright and immediate but fade within an hour, giving way to the deeper, more lasting woody and leather accords. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than filling a room.
