This was one of the first scents I really enjoyed back in 2004. I decided to buy a bottle when I heard it was discontinued. I wanted to have it for always. It is synthetic clean scent. I used to remember that two sprays would last on my clothes until I washed them. This does not do that. It is one of my worst performers. 2 hours and it is MIA. Still a nice scent, vaguely metallic, powdery, clean. Women like it. I don’t know if anybody loves it. Nostalgic for me. I would definitely not buy again.
Чупакабра – :
Super sweet. I mean super sweet. Like diesel plus plus. I love both, but my chemistry works with them. Dry down it smooths out a bit. Lasts forever on me, you don’t wanna over do it. It projects. For this one.. lumberjacks/hipsters not allowed.
DFWbgfa – :
Like the original Desire but with sea note.. like Desire made from the godly seawater from the best part of asia….. THE PHILIPPINES!!!
toxic501 – :
Bought it as a gift for a friend. When I first smelt it, it was a pleasant fragrance. Not a bold, making a statement one but its friendly and not overpowering. But later I just couldn’t stand the sweetness. Gave me headaches. Smelt very synthetic as well. Howevr he loved it. Its not for my nose though!
RAZAN – :
Nice and “safe” scent, reminds a lot of Nikos Sculpture.
sveta_k – :
Pathetic performance for 2017 batch..longevity around 1 hours SIllage..wat sillage? I can’t even smell it on myself and neither do my friends !! Avoid 2017 batch at all cost
gkoeookooy – :
Bought the 2017 batch..longevity poor and sillage is poor…come on Dunhill for the price???
vyw150Negeltzex – :
Smells absolutely amazing. Problem is performance is poor. Doesn’t last very long. Would be great if there was an EDP version.
Longevity – 6/10
Sillage – 6/10

Bought this a week ago from Sephora Malaysia, Batch No 7174 (2017 batch)…poor longevity poor sillage !!! used it before the older batch longevity & sillage was not so bad like this batch!! Guys the newer 2017 batches are watered down version very bad and not worth your money.

The sweeter Lychee/mandarin notes do set this one apart from anything else blue or sold in a blue bottle at chemists/discount fragrance stores.
I really do think they are all made from the same fragrant base you could buy by the tonne somewhere in Geneva if daddy owned a multi-national conglomerate.
Temporarily cloying (like so many blue-bottle things), but bearable/bordering on nice due to it’s almost (I stress-almost) oriental sweetness and (thankfully)swift evaporation on application. It does have a reasonably good dry down scent/imprint without the ostentation of paraphrasing, or using linguistic exotica like ‘Bleu’ instead of ‘Blue’.
Designed for those who need ‘A smell’ as opposed to being ‘the smell’ in the room, but watch that over-spray, you’ll attract diabetic ants.
Social access: Granted
FachChals – :
The first time I smelled this frag, I knew there was something about this scent that sets it apart with the others. It has a unique sweetness but maintains a masculine but not overpowering vibe as it dries down to a musky and subtle smell. It has a moderate sillage and longevity is up to 8 hrs on my skin. Easily one of my favorite frag and a good compliment getter!
OlegF – :
Nice but Dunhill Desire Red is still the king of the Dunhill house. Desire Blue reminds me of Nikos Sculpture but not as smooth. As others said it’s very sweet and not your typical and overplayed summer fragrance on the market today of aquatics and citruses. Worthy of a blind buy at such a low price, but only if you like sweeter fragrances. If you want something different for the summer than the ADG crowd, give this a try. Above average longevity on skin and lasts for days on clothes. For any occasion but best for casual.
qenzo – :
Quite unique fragrance compared to other well-known perfumes, manly but sweet syrupy smell. Though the longevity and sillage of it i should say is weak to moderate depending on how many sprays you put. Safe fragrance not offensive on the nose.
B0SIK – :
I got this in an ebay lot where someone was selling off a large collection. Based on the notes, I was excited, expecting a subtle aquatic. That is not what this is. The “lychee” is a sickly sweet candy flavor, smelling identical to gummy or jelly lychee candies, not like the subtle pear scent of actual lychee. It’s so overpowering that it’s hard to discern any other notes besides an equally sickly sweet synthetic mandarin orange. If you want a super sweet scent, go for it, as this is pretty gender neutral. The dynamic bottle and azure juice are beautiful, but I have to resell it as it’s way too sweet for me to use it.
derTepSleeply – :
Like a few others here, I blind bought this for cheap, and was pleasantly surprised by what I found: a toned-down, smoother take on the original Dunhill Desire (Red).
I don’t have the most experienced nose (nor do I have any earthly idea what litchi is), but Desire Blue definitely has plenty of the original Desire’s DNA with all the warm citrus notes and what have you. It’s not nearly as loud, though. Not as cloying. I respect that.
An energetic, youthful, almost innocent vibe exudes from this fragrance. It strikes me as something a high schooler would keep in his locker. Definitely a dress-down scent, and something for the younger crowd.
GURU – :
Wow a creamy ocean scent which comes in a beautiful blue bottle! Dunhill Red was a hit so I was a bit skeptical of the blue version but glad my cheap self found for 12 bucks at Ross!
Closer to Cool Water, far from Acqua di Gio, it captivated me on the first spray. Summer has been fun wearing this scent and the compliments I get are positive. Similar to Red yet they added an ocean cake to its top layer that sets it apart from Red. Smooth on the take off and has a moderate staying power on your skin which I wish lasted longer. Good seasonal cologne if you get this under 20 bucks! Mmmmm yummy ocean cake!
8 out of 10

So I decided to re-review this fragrance after wearing and owning this fragrance for a while.
This actually has a very unique opening that’s very fresh,but also sweet and fruity and this has a fresh laundry smell but it smells like a laundry detergent that’s maybe a tropical laundry detergent smell. The lichti in this is very unique and helps this be different BUT in the mid it’s also slightly off putting as it causes the scent to a have a very faint rotten fruit note.
The drydown in this is the best part as that sharp,rotten fruit note you get in the mid fades and what remains is that fresh,laundry vibe you got in the opening only it’s a lot more smooth and at this stage it almost smells like a unisex scent as I can also see women wearing this and enjoying this as well.
Performance on this is great ! On my skin this performs borderline beast mode for 2 hours and projects well for an additional 2 hours following that. Blue also lasts on my skin a total of 6-10 hours.
Overall rating— 6.5 out of 10 ! It’s a nice scent that’s actually quite unique and it performs well BUT it does come off a bit feminine and the mid of this fragrance almost causes me to dislike this scent.
(Sidenote: 2-3 sprays MAX as this has very good performance and is a less is more type of performance)
volk3131 – :
i tried it few days ago, i used a lot of dunhill desire red in 2000s, the blue reminded me of the red, lighter version, much lighter and not as loud, which is great for office.anyone can wear this, the bottle looks sexy as anything. good prices also.7/10, good summer frag, handsome, nothing mind blowing but better than many.
rbx016JeomiWogkig – :
nice scent by dunhill pretty close to davidoff’s cool water! smells good perfect for summer!
dreed – :
I love my 20-year old bottle, and my review is based on that.
It brings back a lot of memories, and I have been saving the last few mls for 20 years now.
I love it because it was one of the first bottles I bought, it was hard to find in my childhood city, and thats when everyone wanted to wear Dunhill Desire Red.
I dont give a monkeys ass if people say it is synthetic mess, to me its so dear.
Now the actual notes on this one, lychee, oranges and aquatic, with a bit of fresh herb maybe mint.
The base notes are overshadowed by the the lychee and oranges, and thats one thing I love about it, as I really find it annoying when perfumes turn into ambroxane and unrefined synthetic coumarin smell, which is not the case here.
Excellent projection and longevity, very heavy stuff.
I think its to do with memory more than the actual smell here, but this one puts a smile on my face, and thats more than enough for me !
ibr630JeomiWogkig – :
The armoa chemicals used in this one were too much for me, generating an unpleasant experience. I did detect some of the original Desire and I was hoping the base would be nice, but those strong aroma chemicals that I encountered at first never dissipated enough for me to appreciate anything the perfumer was trying to do here. Fortunately, I found an old sample and it didn’t cost me more than perhaps a few pennies.
светлана егорова – :
An aquatic version of DIESEL PLUS PLUS, but instead uses green apple instead of red apple. Opens with gasoline aquatic note then settles into some generic cool water or wings type scent. It’s good and I always get complimented but I don’t feel like it’s me. Ive started wearing women perfume as I am tired of these same smells.
yusuf99 – :
I don’t like aquatic fragrances much but I fell in love with it when I gave it a sniff at a local store. To me it is not aquatic but reminds me of green forest and lush grass. Not very intense but soft and beautiful. I perfer it to wear in intimate moments as it mixes with my body smell beatifully. It always fetch compliments from my partners and I feel them sniffing it with conscious effort when near to my body.

Picked this up at Burlington for super cheap on clearance. No wonder no one else picked it up and there’s 3 left…it smells awful to me. The lychee is rotten in this. I thought it would smell wonderful, I love lychee. Makes me think of an aquatic version of the original Desire, has the same woody smell even though teak wood isn’t listed on this one, but has rotten lychee in it instead of apple. Seriously, I can’t get over that. Once it dries down it smells a little better, but all I can think of is that lychee in the beginning and it totally turns me off. Getting rid of this as soon as I can. You may have better results with this, so if you find it for dirt cheap, it’s worth a try.

Gosh great bottle, I think Carolina Herrera CH Prive is based on this bottle. It is cool, minty woodsy. Generally speaking all Dunhill Fragg are absolutely superb. This is wondrous. You can’t go wrong. It is for a man in his 30s and up. Sophisticated but so classy.I think I have got just about every Dunhill Frag, my fav being Dunhill Edition but this is great. Just oozes quality.
Sewer – :
I’ve been using this for 10 years and it’s excellent. Fesh fruit and non offensive. People love it. Got my mate wearing it too. Always compliments. Very sweet but not sickly. Unique, and on sale usually for $40. Red is a bit too sweet. Good projection in hot humid weather.

i like the green notes similar to Amazing Green CDG.

mdz182elipseskism – :
I made a blind purchase after initially reading the notes list and reviews on here. Unfortunately I found that the opening of Dunhill desire blue is way too sweet in a cloying, candy-ish, synthetic way that makes you feel dizzy. In my opinion, this one would be miles better if the lychee note in the openning has more sourness kick that would make you feel a lot more refreshing. I live in a country where you can easily find seasonal lychees for a cheap price and believe me, the lychee note in this one, without the sourness of the fruit, is fake and cloying.
Not a typical blue summer fragrances. So, that might be good if you are looking for a summer fragrance that is a bit unique. The middle and dry down is a bit more acceptable though but the sweet dizzy opening will stay with you for quite a long time and you can still feel parts of it later on too. Good longevity and decent enough sillage.
stalker201 – :
To add….A lovely silage exudes from this scent – very addictive.
Ilin.sashka – :
I would have to agree with a lot of the reviews that can point the notes. Now whether or not you appreciate or like this Desire “Blue” or not is up to each nose. It definitely does start off with a nice citrusy, orange and berry feel with mixes of the sea and rosewood. It is much lighter than the original, obviously for spring time . There is no way I would call this a sporty fragrance. And I think what makes it different from a lot of the other blue aquatics is that on the drydown it has a little more heavy sent that separates it from fragrances I would associate with those 25 and under. Alfred Dunhill is a mature image. I think they captured that here but the synthetic aldehydes make me not rank it up there and probably won’t buy it again.
The other thing is I find it to be a whole lot weaker than the original. Maybe it’s because I wear when it’s warmer outside, but something just doesn’t carry or project very well with this.
Exarninnils – :
Desire Blue is a very nice citrus/aquatic. It has a light, fruity, and soft opening. The heart of DB is the sea notes with a slight woody background. The litchi really stays noticeable throughout the length of this scent. The ending is basically a light tonka or musk.
There are sometimes good reasons why fragrances are popular and I think this flanker from Dunhill is an easy thumbs up. It’s different enough from your average citrus or aquatic that it may very well deserve a place on your shelf.
daulet20 – :
“Blue” frags are usually too predictable, but this is doing something special for me. I can’t pinpoint what I like about it; maybe it’s that giant squid eyeball from the notes above. All in all, a nice wildcard aquatic that smells like a different fruit each time I wear it.
It’s a bit too sweet for me overall, but the rest is good enough to make up for it.

1949pavlovich49 – :
Well, I sprayed this on and liked it for about 30 seconds. Then I didn’t. Then I did again.
There’s something about the marine note in here that I don’t care for. That fake synthetic saltiness calone can have seems to come and go.
In a way it reminds me of Issey Miyake & Acqua di Gio, but I don’t dislike it nearly as much as I do those two.
The litchi note is definitely prominent. I get more bergamot than orange or mandarin. Lotus stands out as well and a pleasant warm woodiness from the rosewood.
I’d say Desire Blue is better than your average aquatic.
E_Sen_In – :
Like the topnotes. There’s something in the drydown I don’t like. However, this specific note is what gives the fragrance its character. Not really my sort of thing, I guess.
6,5/10
КотЭ Ниндзя – :
memories..the second perfume i have after hugo boss..
very good smell but ..projection and sillage under average :((((
Skaksteat – :
Alfred Dunhill’s Desire Blue is a litchi bomb for those who prefer a flightier, light and feminine kick to their masculine fragrances. The litchi strongly grips Desire Blue from the beginning and overwhelms it with a synthetic dominance that destroys any chance of me enjoying this fragrance deep into the dry-down. It’s green, yes, but it’s also extremely high-pitched and synthetic. There’s no real balance here as the mandarin and lotus serve as simple background noise and are too soft, allowing the litchi to overwhelm. What’s left? Not much. A touch of woods and musk that still can’t manage to extinguish the litchi and a heart of sea notes that only seems to worsen the synthetic vibe of this fragrance. I’m rarely negative but this is absolutely a scrubber in my humble opinion. Sure, it’s unique and original for a male scent in that the litchi normally reserved for feminine scents take prominence here, but this is not quality organic juice by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, judging from my experience; it’s a repellant and caused many a negative reaction when I tested it at work, the gym and at home.
Sure longevity is quite good at around 6-10 hours and sillage extremely strong the first 3-4 hours of wear before settling down to a moderate level of projection, but very few men want to smell like this. Best left for spring and summer and as a once in a blue moon fragrance if you really insist on wearing this.
DtAofficialRU – :
one of the best men fragrances of all time
anemipemokede – :
very good aquatic scent… Somewhat unique for it’s fruitiness. Water notes dominates here but they are very well blended with fruits. I give dunhill credit for making an aqua that is not citrussy. Sure it is citrussy in the opening, but it quickly loose them for the sweet fruits. Really nice smell..!
maksim59 – :
The lychee in this makes the opening and first few hours harsh, sour and synthetic smelling. IMHO there are much better, smoother, fresh acquatics out there such as Chanel Allure Homme sport, Bvlgari avqua and the like. I tried very hard to like this scent but it just smells like sour chemical bug spray for the first few hours. Maybe ok for the younger crowd, 25 and under, but not for me.
asad6661 – :
i tried before. it has very calm and relax scent but not so strong. It didn’t last more than 4 hours on my skin. I prefer dunhill red or london more than this one. but still it’s a good perfume to use rather than u bought weird name perfume

I dream about this! Anddddd got this 100ml for my 14th birthday! Yay! Still have it. Smells aqua and PURE sexy! Use it when schooldays.
Avaidlyevilla – :
This is nothing special. It’s a t-shirt and jeans summer scent. It’s got a cotton candy-like opening that is just so synthetic but after about 30 minutes, it turns fresher and muskier, almost like a polo sport or cool water sort of fragrance. It’s a decent cheap fragrance. I won’t buy it again because I can get better fresher fragrances for less. Longevity is average (about 5 hours) Sillage is moderate(3-6 hrs.)
dron1977 – :
This is pretty much the day wear version of the original Desire (red). A sport edition if you will.
Malev – :
has been a favorite i n the collection since its induction in 2000, i have very classic scents such as vetiver edt, eau sauvage edt, girgio of beverly hills edt, and many others. of my new school scents i have a cartier fetish (many bottles of different scents) along with a bottle of armani black code and dunhill desire blue , and it fits!!! my taste is various like grey flannel, halston z-14, polo, classics again, and dunhill fits in. its nothing like the classics or the the modern cartier’s and thats its claim to my vanity tray of numerous scents, and again IT FITS!!!
nikitozik – :
i just get the perfume..i didn’t know how to describe a perfume..but for me..dunhill desire blue has sad feel inside it..i keep smelling it and somehow i just get into the mood! haha..seriously i recommended this perfume..^,^
hasxzxsah – :
An initially sour, harsh, strong synthetic frag, which after a couple of hours becomes fresh, modern and a lovely care free frag..
I applied 6 heavy sprays
0-1.5 hours. 1 foot projection, however half the room was flooded on first application. I was expecting a real great freshie, and what I get is a sour, harsh, pungent, rotten fruit frag which did not appeal to me or my wife at all. Some may think this a fruity chemical mess. This is like Georgio Beverley Hills Wings Homme or Jacques Bogart Silver Scent and very synthetic
1.5 hours – 3.5 hours. 7 inch projection. Softening a little, thank goodness. I get flickers of what it is what trying to do – it is trying to be sexy and I think it falls short.
3.5 hours – 5 hours – 4 inch projection. Its getting more diluted, more alluring, less harsh, the best bit. Much more like a freshie scent and very nice and alluring. Worth the wait, yes I think so
5 hours – 7 hours. 3 inch projection, but subtle. It trails more than projects
7- 9 hours. Close to skin
The bottle lid which flips sideways is really cheap and plasticy, so I recommend those who like bottles should stay away
This is 85% the same as Dunhill Red but Blue is like a more aqua/diluted version of Red and more modern and fresher
This is not really a fresh summer chilled frag- the start is far from it and it is harsh and bitter, though at the end gets really quite nice and alluring and watery- is it worth the wait? Try it and see? After a couple of hours it is very fresh and alluring
kuznechik-001 – :
I am very surprised I like this as much as I do. First, it is not an aquatic fragrance. There is an aquatic note in this, but it’s not at all dominant, and it’s really well blended so as to give lightness and lift to the sweet soapiness of the fragrance.
Desire Blue is a true flanker of Desire For Men. They are VERY similar in that they both have a sweet, floral soapiness that dominates and defines both fragrances. Blue is drier, not quite as sweet, and a lot greener smelling than Desire For Men. It reminds me a lot of Greenbriar by Caswell-Massey, or even a cross between Cool Water and Irish Spring Soap.
This isn’t really my style because it’s sweeter than what I usually like to wear, and it’s not very unique, but its cheerful, uplifting smell is hard to resist.
MY RATING: 7.5/10
victut – :
This is initially quite subtle smelling but projects well. It is fresh and slightly sweet but with green notes as well. Balances fresh and green and masculine. It feels aquatic rather than heavy and gets slightly soapy and deeper late on. There is a definite vanilla vibe to me, despite no vanilla in the listed notes.
Based on 2 sprays it is subtle but for 3 or 4 hours it projects very well. By 6 hours it is close to the skin. By 8 hours it is fading and going. With 4 sprays it seems to last almost twice as long.
A fresh, summery everyday-type fragrance. It is good/very good rather than excellent but I like it and would buy it again.
kensy himura – :
In a world littered with dog fragrances this one is a breath of fresh air.
Just nice from the opening on and it gets better and better from there.
I’ve had my hands on 50 some samples/bottles over the last few weeks, and have found so many of these fragrances disappointing. This one isn’t my favorite, but it isn’t disappointing like so many others.
Artem_1990 – :
Am I the only one here getting a similar scent to Diesel Plus Plus?. It seems to be a tone down version, much more fresh and less sticky. I like this one much more, since the sweetness is tone down a lot, but I still get that milky note!. At the end, this one becomes much more serious, is not fresh anymore, more like woody/amber mix. Aquatic…….nope, I don’t get that at all. The sillage and projection is very good without a doubt, you will get noticed.
emperor86 – :
Sampled one when I was 26 and disliked it. Try again one year ago. It seems 8 years made a difference in one’s scent preference, what was an awful smell now become nice and likable. Lesson learned: try what perfume you dislike a few years later and see if it differs then. Perhaps like me, you will find it’s an amazing discovery.
Ksyha01031999 – :
it holding the smell whole day….great i love it!!
GlaGol – :
huele fenomenal.
alekseikis1 – :
This is simply a beautiful fragrance – opening may be a bit fresh, however, the dry down is unique and sophisticated. I can’t explain the scent of this fragrance in words, but definitely it is very Unique unlike others who have claimed it to be not so unique.
I would define it as Unique Fruity Aquatic. What I smell is a nice blend of Litchi, Sea/Water/Fresh Notes, Lotus (for sure a prominent note), Mandarin Orange and Musk as other prominent notes. Very Satisfied with the Buy.
Longevity: Is great on my skin.
Projection: Is above average and not on the face would get you complements for sure.
Silliage: Great,it will leave a scent trail.
Over all a great buy for all those who like Sweet, Fresh Aquatics.
Lados11rus – :
yes its nice,but kinda boring and too sweet.. poor lasting power.. i keep stay away from my boyfriend when he wearing this.. do not know why,it was made me dizzy.
indigogirl – :
Buen perfume, pero no es el mejor. Huele bastante bien, pero se siente algo químico al principio, aunque unos segundo después produce un buen aroma su duración en mí es de unas 5 a 6 horas, es decir aceptable.Un buen golpe de la casa inglesa, sin embargo es totalmente inferior a su hermano “ROJO” en todos los aspectos,aunque sigue siendo bueno. 7.8/10
viktorbeda – :
Only the top notes smell interesting. On my skin the base notes smell horrible. Poor longevity. Good for those who like the aquatic/fresh genre of perfumes.
Kliff41 – :
Nice floral note
Nice aquatic note
Nice woody and green notes
But altogether, not so much. Overall the smell mostly reminds me of something used in the spray of a cleaning product. It is a noce smell but people in Australia may find it reminiscant in the same way I do.
vova80 – :
I need your help pls… Which one better, desire blue or dunhill london ?
Update : i’m agree with jasonx… i feel like a huge glass of ice tea + sugar now lol

kostyanya – :
Dunhill Desire Blue EDT
It’s so fruity at the beginning! I do notice a very light sweet scent, maybe it’s the litchi and bergamot together, a very light sweetness with a bright citrus note to lift up your mood.
Faded into lotus later on with the aquatic notes, while you can still get the bergamot at the same time, makes you feel so relax and delightful.
Finally the rosewood comes to play its part, which is not being a strong one, it’s light and more youthful form in Desire Blue. The scent from here can keep to a few hours, then it turns to a very clean white musk still with the aquatic notes, and you can definitely notice the tonka bean and the amber coming, again not a creamy one, it’s so fresh and cozy.
Everything is so fresh and light in this blue bottle, that makes it not being too masculine. Every age can wear it but it’s definitely more of a spring/Summer scent with the green, aquatic notes. I love smelling it on guys but ladies can wear it too, if you’re looking for a fresh, relaxing one. Everyone around me likes it, It’s a unisex gem with a nice design of a handcarry drinking bottle with a silver cap. =)
Form the beginning to the dry down is so smooth! Not every aquatic/green notes based perfume can do that, as far as I know, my Dior Cherie L’eau fail on that.
Longevity: Quite good on my dry skin, at least 5 hours+, tested on FEB.
Sillage: Average, quite good for an EDT.
CP value: Quite Acceptable. I got it online for US$50, 100ml/3.3oz.
Targeting: Mostly under 30, but I think it could be cute and fresh for a men who is 40+.
Score: ☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆ 8/10.
Enjoy! xoxo FiFi.

You do get noticed and praised
It does smell like Indian incense at times,
But I personally feel, it’s more of Night perfume than day,
Lasting power on body skin dependant,

Since many people using ,
A common perfume, with unique scent.

i have this perfume and till now i just use it less than half bottle.,the mix of sea note and something like bublegum note make me bit dizzy and sick.,i cant smell the fresh note of this perfume because to many sweet aromatic. Just need some time to adapt with this fragrance.,
the longevity is good about 6 hours and match in daily use
The plus about this fragrance is the unique bottle hhhahaha
My score ; 6/10
crazytubuz – :
This is a pleasant fragrance that evolves into a lovely fresh, fruity smell. Some mint in the top note would have lifted it a bit I think. The drydown is the best bit – a tobacco-like pleasant, sweet, fresh smell. I can’t detect a marine note in this myself though. This is like Bogart’s Silver Scent in my opinion. There is a Dunhill Red Desire note in there too. Longevity is good. A very nice long lasting man’s cologne.
bigdragon007 – :
I couldn’t apreciate this scent. Clean, light, but there is something about its sweet that bores me. More to a perfumed softener than others blue scents I know, and even less pleasant on my skin.

I agree it smells great like the DD Red but i donot agree on longevity, cus i admit i gotta worst dry skin of the mellinum but my mates (perfume buddys) who are blessed with oily pro perfume skin also failed both the DD versions !
Artelscerdeef – :
This fragrance really surprised me! I expected an aromatic aquatic and this is classified as an aromatic green and now I see why. I loved Desire for a Man and expected this to be a watery weak scent and it is nothing of the sort…
This is crafted in the classic style of three scent ‘chords’ composed of four ‘notes’ each. I find scents made in this fashion very well-balanced and usually harmonise well on my skin.
This begins with the zesty citrus of mandarin and bergamot but has the subtle sweet juiciness of lychee and the soft floralcy of aquatic lotus flower…heavenly! The citrusy water vibe continues in the heart, accented by rosewood (yum) and mahogany, is very crisp and unique. This projects very well for a ‘blue’ scent. The drydown is smooth and sexy with sweet tonka and warm, smooth benzoin balancing amber’s richness and a very clean musk. All through a wearing of this you are delighted by different nuances between the notes and accords present. When I wore it last a few days ago I did a lot of fast walking in mid-70 degree temperatures and full sun and my body heat seemed to magnify and project the scent without getting a sweatiness or sourness to it, as some citrus heavy scents can. Say what you will about ‘modern’ Dunhill scents…this one is fantastic!
Sillage: great
Longevity: super
Overall: 4.5/5
This is so sexy and quite different from the original red Desire yet somehow similar in it’s subtle sweetness and its overall vibe. Clean and fresh like many other blues, warm and sweet and very long lasting unlike any I have tried yet. I was going to get Givenchy PH Blue Label, but decided at the last minute to get this, and for a blind buy (based on the comparative reviews here), I made the right choice…and stand by it!

This cologne right here began it all for me. My love affair with fragrances began with Desire Blue. It’s one of the best fragrances out there in my opinion and it’s not widely known and used for that matter where I live giving me that element of exclusivity.
I came across this smell at a duty free store in the airport about 5 years ago. I was hooked on the first whiff all the notes in this fragrance are perfectly blended, it’s a light smell not too overpowering and not over burdened with citrus.
The only words that I can come up with to describe this scent is warm and smooth. It’s not a formal smell but can work well in t
