The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2006, Dunhill Pursuit by Alfred Dunhill is an Oriental Woody fragrance crafted by perfumer Michel Girard. The composition opens with green and aromatic notes that create a fresh yet grounded atmosphere, leading into a heart of balsamic and powdery accords that add warmth without heaviness. The base layers in smoky and warm spicy elements that provide depth and longevity, making it both versatile and comforting.
Apply Dunhill Pursuit to pulse points for a steady warmth that builds throughout the day. The smoky base notes take about an hour to fully settle in, so plan accordingly. It pairs well with layered clothing for added depth.
