Dunhill Pursuit Alfred Dunhill for men

Exactly what RobbieX said. Warm, sweet and spicy. It worked well on my skin, smells a little synthetic and it hurts my nose smelling it up close. You can wear it all year round but its much better on Fall.

I'll tell you from the start that I really don't like this "perfume". It is one of the most synthetic plasticky artificial smelling fragrances I have tried. The green leafy citrus opening clashes with a synthetic lavender and amber that smells one step away from toxic. I like the pepper in the heart, but it doesn't even come close to balancing the cloying sticky sweet amber and supposed sandalwood, not to mention that lavender. This is somewhere in the realm of Vera Wang for Men and Dolce and Gabbana's The One, but nowhere near as good as either. What happened to the Dunhill that created their famous EDC 1934 and Edition? Bring those back and dump these half hearted attempts at being modern. Do NOT blind buy this from looking at the notes, I suspect you would be disappointed.

smell is very strong for me....but i like it!

First of all, I love mandarin. In this fragrance it shines through the spices and that already makes it very nice to me. Its a good feeling to wear it. Sophisticated & grown up enough to be taken seriously. Yet fresh and uplifting. Nice one from Dunhill!

A smooth warm sweet & spicy fragrance. Can smell the amber and the mandarin distinctly. Later the incense comes through. Staying power and sillage is only moderate, this isn't a potent fragrance. Not their best but, another good Dunhill.

This is smoothly nice and lovely.
Musk and amber make you feel alive, sandalwood and incense make you feel warm, and other stuffs in it do the rest !!! Don’t worry they are perfectly in harmony !
You will enjoy and wear it even at bedtime!
Longevity and projection is about average.

یک عطر دوست داشتنی که به شما احساس زندگی، عشق و گرمی میده
بسیار دلچسب و دلفریب و مهربونه این رایحه
دوام و پخش بوی متوسطی داره

lasts long, very unique frooty notes

Dunhill always created surprisingly scents with good longevity and strongness. Compared to other Dunhill perfumes (like Desire, Desire Blue, Fresh or Pure) for me this seems to be the most elegant I've tried. I would probably use it especially for evening since I consider it's not so much a perfume to wear over day but could be suitable for an elegant outfit as well during a midday business meeting

A fragrance that I reckon along with Black, is perhaps the best of the (modern) male Dunhills.

Overall, I get a distinct "barbershop" vibe throughout much like YSL RG pour Homme. I enjoy the winey, boozy notes of the bergamot at the beginning and then it retreats all too quickly into a juicy, woody and mildly spicy skin scent, that I reckon lacks a little character, but is pleasant nonetheless. In fact, I also wish it had a little more projection, although it lasts well as a skin scent.

I think it's a highly versatile year-round scent that can be used equally well casually or for special events. If I stretch my imagination to breaking point, I can just about make the link to African safaris and the like...although I'm still not sure if I've been deluded by the marketing. Anyway, I really like the orange colour of the liquid, the fact that it smells traditional and modern at the same time, and a special mention also to its classy low-slung bottle design.

Overall, don't expect any WOW! factor whilst wearing it, but I'd still recommend it as a nice solid buy that is widely available at a good price.

very nice one, I prefer sweet fragnancies but this one is really got me.
very mature , maculine. reminds me a winter night although it is nice to wear in hot weather as well.

highly recomended

Just bought this over the weekend at a discount store and it is worth at least twice what I paid for it! I have 20 or so fragrances that I rotate depending on the season/weather and my moods but this one will stay at the top of my list.

I love this, remind far aways with Dirty English because its dried in the base, but in this one here, the incense with amber, sandalwood and cedar make this aphrodisiac, the ladys tell me that when sniff the juice, so, highly recomended! lol

When it first goes on, it smells kind of arid yet cologne-like. In the first few hours, I can detect four different notes: the wine-like bergamot (of course), some kind of pepper, something cool and sedate in the background, and something candy-sweet (cinnamon?). There’s this playful back-and-forth among the arid feel and the confident feel, with one announcing its presence only to fade into the other as it makes itself known. Without giving in to the power of suggestion, I’d say that it does give a good impression of a standing on the edge of the desert, before the initial trek begins. Then the various notes fuse into a cologne scent, and this dominates, which smells like a fainter, more peppery version of Euphoria. The silage is good. As time goes on (about 3 hours) it loses strength and becomes a more soapy version of itself with a faint pepper feel. By six hours, it has faded down to the skin level, leaving only a kind of peppery sweetness – and that smells pretty good, actually.

I got the idea where this scent wanted to go, but it just never got there. It ended up as just another decently-smelling variant of Euphoria, with a little bit better lasting power. I think you can find better colognes out there if you’re interested in the explorer feel. I’d recommend Stetson Black or Polo Explorer.

I will enjoy smelling this scent for now. Pursuit, to me, is almost Dirty English, one I'd fallen in love with before.
Pursuit has a softer body of bergamot and spices, and the incense adds another flavor. All over, Pursuit is of a slightly modern feel with a very classic body, and being the exact scent I had expected to find in the bottle for Ralph Safari, though Safari turned out more citrusy.

Pursuit would be best for night time wear depending on the sillage.

opens up with an incensy fruity character. As it dries, the fruit fades a bit and the spices kick in and flesh it out with cardamom and cinnamon. as it continues, the cedar and sandalwood really start to make themselves known. I have to say this is some really good cologne. It's masculine and energizing yet reserved at the same time. A remedy for the Acqua di Gios of the world if i ever smelled one. Classy and mature yet still good to wear at any age. Great for work. My only problem is it's longevity. otherwise it's one of my colognes in regular rotation.

This was the last addition to the Dunhill line I truly enjoyed, after which they became a little trigger-happy with their releases. Message to Dunhill, 'Quality not Quantity' please!

Anyway, this is top class. It's like a trip around the world in a fragrance! Pursuit opens like some lush fruit salad from the Tropics. Next up is a super-realistic cinnamon, still damp from the fruit. As the cinnamon dries out (but still there)that masculine, reliable drydown appears for the rest of the day. This is the musk/incense/sandalwood accord which I love. This drydown reminded me of my dad, so is a little dated perhaps, but still awesome.

Now sadly to be found in the bargain basement, so a must have for us thrifty types!

Nice memories with this dunhill. Lovely aromatic-spicy fragance with a soft incence line and comfortable fruity touch. Manly and distintive, verstile to wear and easy to enjoy.

Like the ad show, the fragance evokes an afternoon, a peaceful sunny moment in thoughts and emotions.

a type of fragarnce that you either like or love ..... it cant be offinsive or it doesnt give you any execuse to dislike....
like all prev reviews i find it (peppery,insenc-y,woody,long lasting,sweet and ambery)....a non regretable fragrance

This is the second Dunhill fragrance I have acquired and I bought it cheaply(75mL for the equivalent of a little over $20 US - on sale). I also bought it blind. In Australia, Dunhill fragrances can be found almost everywhere, which might give the impression to some that these are generic or of low quality. Not true.

Well I'm certainly glad I bought this one. It is all 100% class. The packaging is very elegant, yet still functional: the compass design on the lid a nice touch and hints at Dunhill's commitment to quality.

The liquid itself is very warm and rich. It has a pepper-like sharpness which is accompanied by the incense and woody notes, meaning that the sharpness is subdued enough to not make you sneeze. I'm not really sure how to properly express this, but here goes: the pepper (not listed as one of the notes)rises out of the general richness created by the expert combination of woody, spicy, incense and sweet notes and adds another dimension to this fragrance.

It is impossible to overstate how classy this one is.

After a while the pepper fades and the cinnamon and musk become more obvious. The woods and incense are the most pervasive of the notes and give this more than acceptible longevity.

I have not yet experienced a Dunhill fragrance that I don't like.

Really fresh opening, rather sweet. But i don't like this in drydown. Bergamot n sandalwood make me headache.

This is good, good stuff, but a little definitely goes a long way. Dunhill Pursuit consistently garners compliments from everyone around me - both women and men.

I have had this fragrance twice before and my nose never gets fed up of it. Being a natural perfumer and creator of my own perfumes I know that I prefer oriental woody fragrances as they are very masculine. In this fragrance you can clearly smell the incense and the ambers and musk which gives the fragrance that added mystery. This fragrance is a must have for any male collection. This fragrance is perfect to wear on a night out as it has very good staying power which is down to the musk, amber and incense notes.

this some grown man stuff here.doesnt have the longevity of some of his past works tho,hope thats not a sign of things to come

has a very attractive top note that is fresh but dark.. and fades and dampens to warmer less distinctive notes

One of the most interesting men's fragrances I have ever experienced.
Starts with sharp woody notes but dries with sweet musky veil that last on skin for a very long time. That's also a very strong point of this perfume - lasts even longer than most of strong men's colognes my boyfriend is wearing.

Perfect love gift.

On my skin, it's not long last at all.
Why??

I think it smell like Kenneth Cole - Reaction in more sweet scent.

' An oriental, woody fragrance with tropical green pineapple, green leaves, orange leaves, cedar, sandalwood, musk, amber and smoldering incense. Very nice and very spicy. This fragrance is very long lasting.

the worst dunhill ever made when i smell it i got a bad headache its very sharp not warm or quite but sour

my husband has just bought a bottle, the incense notes are strong, I like it. Very masculin, I think
