If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. 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! Clove and oakmoss, slight citrus on top and the geranium and nutmeg so beautifully interwoven, this, for me, is a man who knows himself and is unapologetic in his chivalry and grace though knows how to be forceful and persuasive when needs be.

No idea where from, but somehow I hear a timid fruity note, similar to ripe bananas in a subdued way. So don’t expect any “powerhouse” for sure – this is, or was, probably one of the most elegant British fragrances around.

The middle notes are Lily-of-the-Valley, clary sage, cyclamen, geranium, jasmine and carnation which provide a floral scent. Great longevity and oodles of stimulating vibe to keep you comfortable from Tamil Nadu to the Himalaya. One of them were a beautiful tall Asian female model, once she saw me she thought i was Asian as well :D so the kisses again came on me like rain.

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. I was really expecting great things after reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews about this fragrance here. Dunhill is the closest perfume among all the cacharel l'pour homme counterparts that I have been looking for for 30 years.Maybe someone else can add more to what I've found but it appears there's some conflicting timelines in there. However, I'm curious about its releases of the 80s and 90s particularly 'For men', 'Edition' and 'Burgundy'.
