Launched in 2008, Dunhill Black by Alfred Dunhill is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that channels the brand's heritage of precision and craftsmanship. The composition opens with nettle, lending an unexpected freshness to the aromatic profile before lavender and jasmine take center stage. These floral notes are then grounded by base accords of suede, guaiac wood, and Virginia cedar, creating a robust yet refined scent. This fragrance embodies the modern man's duality — fresh and sharp but also deeply rooted in tradition.

Application Tips
Apply Dunhill Black with two sprays to ensure that the aromatic opening does not overpower the woody base. The suede notes take time to develop, so this fragrance is best for daytime wear when it can evolve naturally over hours.

The story behind the bottle.
The crisp precision of a well-polished desk in an office, where the green freshness of nettle meets the rich warmth of leather-bound files and wooden drawers.
