Item Description
This hard to find fragrance just blows me away. I've been searching for it for quite some time, as I wanted to buy it local rather than blind off the internet. Even Basenotes doesn't offer any decants of this stuff right now. Finally, I found it at Dillards. I just couldn't stop sniffing my wrist after I tested it, even hours later.
This scent is hard to describe: It is very masculine, refined, classy, mature. Not floral per se, though there are floral notes in it. The drydown is leathery for sure, but very complex and not obvious. It conjures up images of wool overcoats, leather attache cases, fedoras, men with strong chins - not mercenary ladder climbers - loving husbands and fathers. The kind of man that is honor bound, strong, clear-eyed, well-mannered. The kind of man who stands and helps a lady to her seat. The kind of man that stays true in good times and in bad.
The packaging has been recently updated, it now has the "hip-flask" shaped bottle of the other Dunhill products. But don't let the packaging fool you, this fragrance is in its own league. The newer "freshes", "desires", "blues", and "Editions" are trendy junk compared to this.
It lasts for hours upon hours. This is one that stays with me all day long. It has pretty good sillage, but not to the point that the fragrance preceeds you. It hangs pretty dutifully right in your personal space.
The cost at dillards is around $50 for 2.5 oz., but they have a special gift box promotion right now where you can get 2.5 oz. of the cologne AND 2.5 oz. of aftershave for right around $65. The aftershave is also excellent, though they call it a lotion, while it is more of a splash. The combo deal is hard to beat.
In summary, this is a fragrance easy to love. A true classic whose staying power is due to quality. This may well become my new signature scent.
