About this deal

Great scent profile, good performance, good value for money and versatile; everything a good mens fragrance needs to be. Actually I find that if I spray enough of this on my pulse points or whatever, rather than applying it as a walk-through cloud, the performance is quite adequate anyway. A classic by Dunhill This fragrance is simply beautiful, if there was a hall of fame this would be in there. This used to be a lovely spicy citrusy fresh scent with nutmeg taking the front but now it is at number three or four as fir, vetiver and lemon notes are more prominent.

Finally, the addition of lavender, a classic masculine floral, provides a familiar note that ties the fragrance together. In the beginning I really remember the classic "Green Malizia", but it has been a much better experience since the beginning! The complex musty, smoky character of vetiver adds a touch of mystery to the fragrance, and the citrus zest of Amalfi lemon provides a refreshing burst of energy.The designs of the bottle and cap are distinctive and elegant but the cap felt very light and plasticky. I hate what they have done to a lot of the classic eighties fragrances as todays versions are a pale reflection to the glory of what they should be. Dunhill Edition is a dead ringer for Cacharel Pour Homme and to a lesser degree Oscar by Oscar de larenta. I have about a 1/3 bottle of the old version and it spreads its fragrance just passing by it without even moving the bottle.

I would say this is more modern in profile than Guerlain Vetiver (which I also love) and it does not smell the same, but I could see it reminding people of Guerlain simply due to the Vetiver note, but they are quite different from start to finish. Maybe someone else can add more to what I've found but it appears there's some conflicting timelines in there.

If there was a way to describe Dunhill’s style, it would probably be “high end and bold- yet still refined. They continue to be one of the world’s leading manufacturers for high quality leather goods for men, including wallets, belts, and luggage. While very similar, the Scannon version has a note or two that is more intense and more loud than the USA version. The fragrance opens up with notes of lemon and bergamot which melts into the warm heart of coriander and nutmeg. Conclusion: This is the same scent like the one released in 1984, little harsher in the openning, and with less longevity, and that is it!

So think spicy at the beginning, woodsy at the middle and end, but maybe it's just my nose but I don't detect any floral fragrances at all! Like Icon Racing it opens with citrus and fruit, but its darker side is soon apparent, with middle notes of rose, teak wood and patchouli and a powerful, vanilla-heavy finish. It is sooooo mindboggling that the myths of those magical vintage perfumes are still floating around.Proctor and Gamble acquired Dunhill (licensing and distribution) in 2003, as part of the Wella acquisition and was then divested to Inter Parfums in 2013.

Also I just don't get the whole tendency to think that a perfume shouldn't change, that the original is inherently the best and so on. God has been very kind to let me experience that feeling, those days, those moments once again in this lifetime. Honestly worth looking into if you enjoy Vetiver based scents, and just the thrill of finding a hidden forgotten gem. I believe the projection to be within your personal space after the first hour, sits pretty close to skin, but you will be aware of it for the course of a work day.To be honest I have yet to come across a Dunhill that I even feel neutral towards, I find them to be well made (the bottles especially are beautiful in their simplicity) and perfect for when you are socialising or at the office as they tend to be restrained yet classy. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . The citrusy opening is actually only marginally perceived, but the floral notes of the second row, such as cyclamen, carnation and some rose geranium and lavender, come through more strongly. Yes, I know this whole thing has taken us way down a rabbit hole but I got curious and started seeing what I could uncover. Also from reading about problems with the longevity (mine is also made in the USA) personally I do not get that.
