I have been looking for this perfume for nearly fifteen years!
when I smelled it on my aunt for the first time as a teenager, I immediately fell in love…I thought it was super feminine!…(she must have borrowed it from my fragoholic uncle!)
I finally found out that wonderful scent belongs to this perfume!
It’s an incredibly beautiful blend of soapy, musky, creamy and woody undertones…the best mix of lavender and musk that I have so far smelled
amazing sillage and longevity
petos099 – :
I once loved it but as I get more into fragrance world I find it very metallic and linear. It is not exciting anymore for me. It’s very very synthetic.
nla936Diobtetty – :
The best dunhill made so far…very classy and unique…the new dunhill for me are not remarkable but this is the difference…if you like geranium, this perfume is for you. It is floral but in a very masculine way.

scent : 8/10
sillage : 8/10
longevity :7/10
70% day/ 30% night fragrance
nice lavender scent
arroraZexhh – :
Exact same experience as Soned. It’s very flat, there used to a real bite to it, nothing zippy, but a certain substantiality from geranium and iris. Now it’s kinda like drinking flat Coca-Cola as compared to a freshly opened bottle. The entire line has gone this way.
Sellena – :
Not a review, just a comment. Bought the bottle with the after shave, the one now available at discounters, and after opening, noticed the juice was light brown, not dark brown like the old bottles I have. Smell it and it’s similar, but toned down, more alcohol at the top and not as smooth. Made a comparison of the bottles when I got home and…..now it’s made in the USA, old ones were made in France. Here we go again, reformulated!!!. Tssss
yttrffad – :
When i spray this on, I get a fresh shampoo vibe and it continues to be so in a nice way, surely this smell is common in a good barbershop. Lasts well and it is so inoffensive ..Leather is there for sure ( Air conditioned Book store smell which is so soothing) . Overall a very good fragrance
Jaroslav WC – :
Picture yourself getting a haircut at your local barbershop on a cool rainy day. This is what I get out of this scent. Like one of the reviewers has mentioned, it has a barbershop like smell to it. I have not smelled this anywhere else. Very pleasant smell. If you like barbershop like scents, try this one, I think you will like it.
commet – :
Love this barbershop like classic……..i get many compliments not only from my wife but random women and men……mainly women….its not to strong very sexy…
negativ0123 – :
I think this is a nice event to wear to bed with a woman after a shower. Not a new woman. But with a woman you already know like your wife or long time gf. She can cuddle up to your chest and not be overwhelmed by strong potentially cloying scents.
Not strong enough to wear any other time. Nice scent. But disappointing performance.
anders1982 – :
Got two new bottles. Sadly, reformulated not very well. Used to be able to pick out lemon, geranium, jasmine, iris in this–now it just smells like a generic woody-floral-musk, with no development and no longevity. I think Dunhill have reformulated the longevity and character out of all their fragrances within the last year or two. Shame. Loyal fan lost.
svj59 – :
Is there any fragrance that is similar to this one??
This is just to gooooooood.
Doombreaker – :
a classic and timeless scent by dunhill as always is well balanced and unique! a must to any gents and far from those generic scents common nowdays! a touch of class by dunhill.
geks_4444 – :
کاره تلخ و گرميه پخش وماندگاریشم خوبه در مجموع متوسطه و خوب
Hielsdime – :
It does not last long, I dont like its opening. The base smell is too beautiful I keep on passing my wrist on my nose to enjoy. It switches from being what I hate to what I love. Only if it was bit beasty and long lasting with its base smell. I will wear it through till winter.
RoodneFF – :
I have been using this for awhile. As said its woody and foral, but has its class. i loved it at the first time. The only problem it had is it wont last too long.
alex89-89 – :
I think I smell the lavender the most. It reminds me the old fashion barber shops when I was a kid, but is classy and with good dry down. Definitely a very masculine fragrance, I don’t think a woman could put up with it. I haven’t had a Dunhill in a long time since my last Dunhill desire back in the 90’s so I wanted to give a try to some of the newer colognes. although this one is not the newest but is ok. I don’t think is good for office wear it can be little too strong while is still in the dry down, it is nothing really unique but recognizable. I will try to wear it out to finish it soon and it will just stay in my “I had record” It was a blind buy, not disappointed but not amazed either.
killerviktor – :
Very very well blended scent lavender and jasmin and iris and leather oriented scent with geranium on top for masculine floral to be achieved
teryoha2009 – :
Hmmm A Masculine floral and a good one at that. You dont see too many of those anymore from mainstream designers. Dunhill starts off with the dominant geranium, citrus and lavender notes. Heart notes are all floral, I get mainly the iris which lends a slight powdery feel along with the other floral notes. Basenotes are mainly sweet woody notes, sandalwood, tonka and a slight muskiness. Couldn’t detect any leather per se. This smells very similar to the now discontinued Fendi Life Essence, similar Geranium, citrus and sandalwood combination of notes. Dunhill as a fragrance house has been kind of hit and miss for me. I really love Dunhill Cologne, Pursuit, and Edition, kinda like 51.3 and Black, find Desire Red and Blue to be very sweet synth bombs, not for me and Dunhill Fresh and london are generic ho-hum run of the mill. Custom and Pure are next on the list. This one is a good strong like, good projection for the first couple of hours and decent 5 hours longevity on skin with about 4-5 sprays. Would work anytime of the year except summer where I suspect it would be a tad cloying. A really good example of a masculine floral done right. Might not be for everybody but I like it a lot. 8/10.
SOVESTLYV – :
Not a nice fragrance. It smells unusual, floral and woody – like an old man’s fragrance.
alferevaol – :
Very floral, but still manly. I can’t detect any of the woody tones. Women will like this scent on a man due to its freshness.
smarheldo – :
Geir Lite (featuring Splenda)? Initially a light cherry soap with just a bit of that same fizzy sparkle. A little anise and cinnamon gives a slight pep, but the underlying wood is a lot sweeter than most of its competitors. The cherry component also gets more and more pronounced as it proceeds. Soon there’s really nothing else left except perhaps for some talcum powder, and the sparkle is gone. Even the spices quietly acquiesce to the cherry, in spite of it not being overly strong. If you don’t dislike cherry as much as I do, you probably won’t find it objectionable, but potentially very dull.
Подвысоцкий – :
An eBay seller that I frequently purchase from has the presence of mind to increase his business by including samples of different fragrances with every purchase, that is how I first got my nose on this scent. The sample I felt, was amazing, I loved it. That coupled with all the positive reviews made me tracked it down and I just recently bought a bottle.
Lemon, lemon, lemon….The sample was just so much better. How can that be?
I don’t hate it but I don’t love it either.
Glad it’s not expensive.
Gusarwofhv – :
no review just senses at work right now :
sexy, silky/velvety, very seductive, gentle, cosy, natural smelling, seductive (very), subtle, smooth, oh did i already mention seductive ?? ;o)
great gem found thx 2 good reviews of many co-fragrantics !! (esp.MCL)
amazing longevity (skin + clothes)
update :
looking for compliments from the female part of our planet ? look no further…apparently they ADORE this one…and i don’t mind knowing…. :o)))
Brigtopser – :
Heaven Scent: i agree totally with you.
This juice is AMAZING,UNIQUE,MANLY AND SEDUCTIVE.
It lasts so long and has wonderful projection.
In my opinion the best of Dunhill (with Pursuit as well but this moves in other direction of smelling).
For sure an absolute gun for a hunter man.
reegone – :
This is truly wonderful stuff. Has a baby powder like scent…well that’s what the ladies at work tell me anyway. It’s very easy on the nose even though it projects like a beast. There are many other fragrances out there that are way OTT in price, but this one is serious value for money and then some. The best in the Dunhill range by far. The notes that stand out for me are the Lavender, Rose, Jasmine and Sandalwood. I think these are the ones that fuse so well together that they give the scent it’s characteristic aroma. It’s similar in some ways to Caron Pour Un Homme but way, way better. Try this and add it to your collection. You won’t be disappointed i promise.
avoimiheeno – :
If anyone has bought this from fragrancex recently please send me a private message.
Sergey-by78 – :
I love this scent and I used to have the matching deodorant stick for this fragrance which just made the perfect team but Cant buy it anywhere anymore. Can anyone suggest a deo stick that smells similar to this?
KaosLaos28 – :
This cologne is coffee woody scent for me.
Toyz77 – :
A must have for the serious collector, Very unique and masculine. Took me A few time to really appreciate it. Now its A staple in my collection. Alpa scent, lasts all day on me. A comforting power fragrance, it has A calming effect on me. Females REALLY like this…….. Again, A very Formal distinguished Power fragrance for the serious Alpa Male only.
10/10
Викторияе – :
LOVE this one! Unfortunately does not last on me. Wish there was an EDP version. 🙂
V-D–M – :
Never got compliments on this one ; yet .. it is quite comforting and clean . Powdery , soapy , soft and makes u feel calm and relaxed . Unisex ? Could be . U can not call it a masterpiece but it is diffinetly different and u do not smell it everywhere .
xmeatx – :
I think it is very similar to Pursuit, but not as spicy. I like it better than Pursuit. Very good for winter and late fall. Definitely a head turner. I would love to add this to my collection.
UlyssesSto06 – :
Strong smell, for Stronger men!
smokey, fiery, has depth.
hresko – :
Elegant fragrance, a gentlemen perfume like Lacoste Homme , Paco Rabanne, Azarro, Terre d’Hermes Hermes, of course not the same smell, but same age.
kate.kate – :
Sexy without being obvious, this aromatic, woody, amber scent is
the perfect accessory. You will get noticed wearing this.
Vaska – :
This is the most masculine & elegant scent from Dunhill period! Not tacky, nor cloying, nor too metrosexually sweet & passe as desire, desire blue. With the exception of “Fresh” by Alfred Dunhill cause it reminds me of Fahrenheit by Dior except more citrus & fresh with less petroleum & its for day wear. And I have not smelled Black yet so Im not knocking that one.
I have been looking for that one Dunhill i would love & buy cause Dunhill keeps intriguing me & I see them everywhere I go, I like his style & his British gentlemens man cave looking stores & he is classic & refined so i dont want to accept that he doesnt have a nice luxurious timeless scent under his roster & I found it with this Dunill Fragrance. I just kept disregarding his fragrances & this one cause it kept showing up in discarded bins at ross & marshalls.
But alas, I took a chance & got this one at marshalls for 20 bucks & its mine & i love it. Its an attractive luxurious bottle. It is very nice, fresh, spicy, soft and with a powdery flower yet manly boozy-like scent. Awesome for date night & cuddle time. And finally not a teen scent like the other dunhills. I’m glad its not popular (shame though) cause its a scent people wouldnt be wearing around me & they keep complimenting & asking what im wearing. I simply say: “I forgot…I have too many fragrances & sprayed anything on” lol
ivan2659 – :
this is best for my man, it blend in with his body chemica and smell sexy , can’t stop smell him.
Nikoly – :
It has a distinctive smell.
not for teens
Genrih1845 – :
This is one of those perfumes that actually, you do not smell every day.
A fine compination of floral notes, spices and leather makes this a masterpiece and trylly unique. The longevity is above average and the scent very refined, classy, mature and elegant.
Mostly I get geranium and leather with lavender and tonka. I do not see any lemon if i remember. In the middle notes, the florals start to come up with the presence of iris of course. It gives you some powderiness but in any case, is a modern and does not smell like an old man. The geranium is similar to the one in Trussardi Uomo latest edition but is much better fragrance generally.
Definitely, for a man above 30-35 although it is not an old smelling fragrnace, it is just mature and classy.
dik0261 – :
Iove that perfume,but have a long time ago that I don’t get in latin america,I would like to know if this discontinued,and were it is distributed,thanks.
ilmir7 – :
It’s amazing that such a weak and delicate scent can last 6hrs.
Geka777 – :
Very classy, refined, distinguished and masculine. It’s spicy, woody and floral with a good sillage – sort of captures your attention. It has loads of character. Dunhill has been expertly blended in my opinion! The heavy bottle is beautiful.
gorunov-email.ru – :
I gave this away to a friend. Way to much powder and lavender for me. I liked it up until the 3rd or 4th wear. Unique and special fragrance though..
medmex – :
Buchu beaucoup. Slick, clean, masculine, and subtle. Splash on the aftershave and spray on the eau the toilette without hesitation because it’s inexpensive and good. Everyday go-to and unlike anything but the thicker, more birch-like Cool Buchu by Molton Brown.

Like this one a lot. Immediately after application it is a bit alcoholic and vodka-like but this burns off very quickly. Early on it is fresh but woody with a lemon tinge and some masculine florals. There is briefly an almost coconut sweet note as well.
It settles into a carpentry workshop/fresh cut wood smell which I like a lot. Smells clean and fresh and has a hint of soapiness to me. Gets a little bit more masculine with a bit of musk and leather later on.
Projects well for 5 or 6 hours. By 8 hours it is close to the skin but still there. Almost gone at 10 hours.
Very nice. Woody but fresh. Quite a sophisticated feel. Not too heavy or sweet. Could use this anytime except maybe in very hot weather. Could easily wear this formally.

چیزی که من حس کردم بویه صابون بود.ولی یه صابون خوشبو(لوکس)..
mari19930804maria – :
I like it a lot. Hard to describe. Leathery, floral and subtle. I wish it would last longer, only 4-5 hours on me.
odu899speagoessenda – :
i have about 20 colognes, and i must say, this one is my all time favorite, that stands out. each time i wear it i always get compliments. there is something different and unique about this! very nice smell that lasts all day. got a classical scent to it, with some modernity mixed in it. and i love the bottle! looks like a cigarete packet. oh, and that cap. i just love to hold the cap, and feel it, and love to put it back on the bottle… definately my favorite.
Voytekhovichkn – :
A very smooth, mellow woody fragrance. Its subtle powdery yet masculine nature makes this scent quite romantic and interesting. It has an alluring sweet-fresh floral vibe that creates a relaxing mood, slightly reminiscent of Versace Dreamer, but softer.
slon555 – :
As far a I remember, on me, this one started very soapy and clean, then it moved into a floral but masculine sophisticated middle, and ended with a woody/leather soft accord. It’s been a long time, but that is how I remember it. Actually, I liked it a lot. Need to buy a new bottle and come back for a more modern review!.
SkaTenok – :
too strong and stinky. this perfume has the most samples available; i get samples at the stores and i get them mailed to me (when i order female perfumes) why? no need for that. i haven’t changed my mind on this one in the past 10 years.
900 – :
Great smell, according to me. It is a scent that has to be liked though. Longevity is great. Feels sophisticated throughout the time it stays on you
bender-nah – :
This perfume is luxury sexy and classic . Sweet flower a bit leather and vetiver scent. Quite nice very manly good longevity 5 hrs on me. Suitable for office wear and good work in cool weather more than hot . The best one from Alfred Dunhill. Try it
Мира – :
how on earth a fragrance called AB Spirit By a cheap company Named Lomani has an exact scent with Dunhill Brown???????????
FantoMax2 – :
Little sweet, nice woody floral. Stays too close to skin. You might not like it first, find it boring but after a while you will notice that it is kinda unique. Nice combination of the notes, masterly blended, none of them dominates the fragrance. I can say that it is very hard to hate this one, it is a very safe wear.
krepta – :
I smelled this last night on a girlfriend after she sprayed it on at a guy friends house and immediately assumed it was a unisex fragrance… Within a half hour of leaving his house 2 WOMEN asked wut fragrance she was wearing!!! This one comes across as very soft,sensual and warm and I may invest in a bottle 4 myself lol…
mihail00070 – :
First sniff and I loved it…
Aleksandro28 – :
Completely agree with Scentology, there’s nothing to it. It starts powdery and stays powdery. It’s not horrible though, its just boring.
серафима1964 – :
This is my favorite perfume.There won’t be any perfume smell like this.A truly masterpiece
SOAP – :
Ok I’m biased against some perfume houses, Dunhill included, but I got this as a gift, and the first sniff marked my utter hatrd to this stuff. Yes it’s warm.. and heavy.. and plain unbearable!!! As for the notes, I detect nothing but amber and cedar from beginning to end, with perhaps a hint of carnation. Took the first chance and gave it as a gift to my cousin…
yavlad – :
Warm, spicy, comforting, distinguished & deep; just a few words that spring to mind.
To me the sillage & longevity are pretty good. It lasts a good 6 hours or more on me.
The perfect scent for everyday use; although I suggest that it would also do very nicely at a formal black tie function. I really love this one from Dunhill.
kak2s – :
this is such a mind-boggling scent. i can pick up the geranium note easily though. very pleasant
BRODSKIY – :
Again this is another horrid fragrance by the English House after the loathesome red Desire..Opens too powdery and stays linear throughout except for a cedar trail after a while. I received it as a gift from a dear friend but,what the heck, i’ll pass it to another…there are 200 other oriental far better scents…
Onish – :
J’Accuse:Whatever they say at the perfume stores this IS NOT Dunhill Classic relaunched. Smells different kinda muskier and creamier now.I stick blindfolded to the original.
powerfulfil – :
this is a wonderfully put together fragrance,soft and beautiful,and LOVELY
Inariareari – :
it really nice smell, very “delicious”!!!
but is it can last long?
from the look, i think i will go for Duhill Pure, but for the scent i will go for Dunhill (men).
Sasha.Timofeew1987 – :
Ohh this is sooo sexy. Very classy fragrance, i adore the new Dunhill BLACK which is very sexy too.
сатурн – :
i loved that perfume, a mixed feeling of woody, clean, romantic, Arabic and even intimate like smell with a dash of Amber. to me it feels more like a summer breeze, it reminds me of my golden days as a lawyer.
4stanton4 – :
the best dunhill ever made that perfume is gonna drive me crazy i adore it when my fiance wear it i feel him a very expensive man its like a diamond really well done alfred dunhill
