Dunhill Perfumes

Do You Know the Name or Just the Bottle?

With older fragrances this can happen. You know what it smelled like. You have a vague memory of what the bottle looked like. You may have received it as a present.

But you don't know the name. Over the years Dunhill has had many fragrances for men. From Dunhill for Men to Edition, Desire, Icon and the Dunhill Signature Collection. So if your looking for an old favourite try and think of anything you can remember.

Did the bottle have a red colour? It could be Desire for a Man.

• Was it one of the Icon fragrances?
• Can you recall the word Edition?

Something as simple as that can help you find your fragrance.

Dunhill Perfume With a Red Bottle

Once you see the bottle for Dunhill Desire for a Man its hard to forget. Its become synonymous with the fragrance but there's more to Desire than just the bottle.

Apple, lemon, bergamot and orange blossom open up the fragrance. As it dries down you get rose, patchouli and teakwood. Finally vanilla and musk. So its a bit fruity, woody and sweet. Which may not be what you expected from a men's fragrance. If someone mentions "that red Dunhill" you can start with Desire.

Introducing Dunhill Icon

Dunhill Icon has a very different look and smell to its predecessors. Dunhill Icon Eau de Parfum starts off with bergamot and neroli. Black pepper, cardamom and lavender dry down to vetiver, oakmoss, leather and oud.

So its a fresh citrusy aroma but with a lot more going on underneath. There are also other fragrances under the name Icon. Such as Icon Absolute, Icon Elite and Icon Racing.

These are not replacements for the original. If you know your favourite Icon fragrance use the full name when searching.

What Are the Dunhill Signature Collection?

The Dunhill Signature Collection allows you to explore certain scents and ingredients. From Indian Sandalwood to Arabian Desert. Egyptian Smoke to Moroccan Amber.

As you can see by the names you have a better idea of what these fragrances will smell like. If you want a sandalwood fragrance then Indian Sandalwood is a good place to start. Amber? Try Moroccan Amber. Or if you want something with smoke then Egyptian Smoke.

You shouldn't buy based on the name but it makes it easier to navigate through the range.

Old Dunhill vs New Dunhill

There is no right answer to this. Just because its new doesn't mean its better. If you have been wearing a Dunhill fragrance for years and love it then why change?

However if you know an older Dunhill fragrance that doesn't mean you will like Icon or the Signature Collection. Fragrance lines evolve. And so do your taste. You may love that fragrance you wore 15 years ago. Or you may find yourself wanting something woodier, spicier, smokier or not as sweet.

That's why you should try something new. Not just buy the newest Dunhill fragrance.

Buying Dunhill For Your Father? Don't Assume

There's a good chance that your buying Dunhill for your dad on his birthday or Fathers day. But "My dad wears Dunhill" won't cut it. He could be wearing Desire. Or maybe he means Icon. Or an older Dunhill fragrance that you don't even know exists. Ask him what he likes.

Or if you want to keep it a surprise. Take a look at his current fragrance. Even better take a picture of the front and back of the bottle.

Its not as exciting as guessing but at least you'll have a better chance of buying him what he wants.
