What does Dunhill smell like?
Most voters wear it in fall and spring, with a fair number choosing winter; summer comes last. It leans towards daily and business use, and also gets votes for evening and nights out. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters mostly read its character as masculine and classic.
The top notes of lavender, clary sage, geranium and lemon give a bright start. In the heart, iris, rose and jasmine add a floral, powdery softness. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, leather and tonka bean settles into a woody, leathery, lightly sweet finish. Laura Biagiotti Venezia Uomo and Guerlain Samsara have a close profile.
