Dunhill Edition Alfred Dunhill for men

A very traditional English Gentlemen’s scent. You can imagine gentlemen in suits having a shot of Johnny Walkers and Havanna cigar at Savoy, London afterhours.

Unleashes with spicy citrus note with clove and nutmeg heating up the affair. The heart settles the fire somewhat with an infusion of herbaceous notes of cedar, fir with nutmeg and cloves. It does give me a leathery vibe too. The base note lightens with some amber, vetiver and fir freshness.

It is from the era of Azzarro, Cacheral pour home and Aramis worn with tailored suits and braces formally and unbuttoned shirts and hairy chest casually.

Hard to find close contemporary available scents, I’d suggest M7 fresh, Fahrenheit & possibly Gucci pour homme (although this has incense making it richer and smoother).

Sillage & longevity is strong and long lasting 9/10. Possibly too strong of a scent for daily contemporary usage. Overall 8/10.

P.S A hairy chest is mandatory!

Well my perception is going to be a little skewed as its been over twenty years since I have smelled this. The old formulation opened with a fresh spicy citrus which was quite strong then it got woody and mossy in the dry down. It was strong and the topnotes were more sparkling and spicy.

The new reformulation seems very muted and light in comparison. The topnotes do not seem as spicy or as strong as I remember and this one seems to be more herbal than I remember too. It seems like a "diet coke" version of the glorious eighties version, maybe its my memory.

I like it as it still has that classic gentleman's old school spicy citrus/woody character but it smells like it has been watered down compared to the eighties version. 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.

Eighties original formula: 9 out of ten.
Modern Reformulated formula: 7.5 out of ten.

Classic fans, don't lose this one cause it's different! Different and penetrating notes in opening; a fresh and herbal mood.
The scent is something which may nowadays people don't like, once a time certainly had loooooots of complements. So charismatic and official, not offensive and well blended.
A floral undertone makes it ultra chic and luxury as it deserves.
And I think so. I think clove is purely bold just with a little focusing on theme.

My rate 10/10

There aren't very many details about the smell of this fragrance. And only three reviews. I am trying this today is a sample and I like the opening notes which are very fresh but have a slight woodsy/spicy smell to them. I cannot detect lemon at all! It starts off with a hint of spice, and I agree with the review below that there is a little bit of clove that I detect. For me it is very light which is why I think most people don't "love" but would rather "like" this product. After in the middle notes for me come out in the form of a more woodsy fragrance. 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! Not a whiff of carnation, rose, or lavender. So I think the category for this it would be better placed under Woody Spicey. It does hang very close to the skin and is very professional smelling. I think this would be geared towards those over 30 to 50. I don't know about the longevity because I'm only into my second hour of wearing it. I think I would have to purchase a bottle and truly get a spray rather than a dabber to see how this fragrance spreads. Overall though I would say it is an 8/10, maybe less, and I would not spend more than $45 or $50 for a bottle.

عطر قديم وهادى ويناسب فترة الشتاء

A very nice spicy/floral fragrance with a good longevity and character. As stated above, there seems to be clove in here but this is a good blend of notes. Another excellent Dunhill scent for men.
