The Story

Launched in 1934, Dunhill for Men by Alfred Dunhill is a Woody Spicy fragrance that embodies the brand’s legacy of British elegance and innovation. The composition opens with Amalfi lemon and lavender, adding a fresh spicy edge to its aromatic profile. As it settles, notes of nutmeg, carnation, and geranium create a warm floral heart, while woods, iris, rose, jasmine, leather, oak moss, vetiver, sandalwood, Virginia cedar, and tonka bean provide an earthy warmth that feels both classic and lasting.

The story behind the bottle.

The crisp freshness of a morning shave followed by the rich warmth of leather-bound books in an old library — where the scent of wood and earth meets subtle floral notes.
