A Piece of Modern Art!
Dunhill Century: Its story begins with a beautiful bottle that looks like a piece of art! It continues with a juice with citrus scents, but woody and slightly spiced at the same time. The papyrus note is predominant and is particular and elegant. The whole is well blended and harmonious. In short, a niche perfume with a very low price, at this time of writing, if purchased online. It has its own personality and it stands out from the crowd. It is not for nothing that it is compared to Le Labo Santal 33. Highly recommended!

A classy fragrance with a very interesting combination of notes
This is a classy fragrance with a very interesting combination of notes, giving it a rather unique vibe. You just need to give it time to develop.

It starts off with a bright clean citrusy fresh opening. About 15 minutes into it, you get a spicy/herbal aromatic scent which later dries down to a very clean and musky woody aroma.

Presentation: 9/10

Modern classic
I blind bought this one as I found it for £20 at TK Maxx UK. It has great reviews in the community so I thought to give it a go. And I could not be happier. It smells so perfect for spring. I very much prefer it over Santal 33 - for me that one has the pickle note extremely strong and I can't stand it. Century on the other hand has nothing of that. I must say that this one is up high there in terms of quality. I am probably lucky as my batch is from 2017 so I feel like it is first release (which is a bit confusing as the year of launch here is 2018). The presentation is impeccable and feels way more expensive then what it is priced. It smells classy and fresh, crisp and clean. Neroli and citrus drying into a beautiful floral woody smell. And it projects very well. I applied the perfume at 13 and now it is 17 and still going strong. I can still smell it around me. I am impressed.

A prime example of my maturity in my fragrance journey.
I've been a fragrance lover for over a decade now, and as everyone who starts with something, I have to admit that I've been quite naive.

When I first got century, I almost immediately dismissed it, it's clean and it's fresh, but it straight up smelled like a laundry detergent, or rather clean laundry fresh out of the washing machine, it's not a horrible smell but I just didn't want to smell like laundry.

In fact I dismissed it to the point that I literally spray it on my freshly ironed clothes.

Then a couple of days back my wife did not find anything to wear (which is something I have to sort out soon, lol) she smelled like Century, and suddenly it smelled so good on her, so now I am seeing it in a completely new light.

Not going through the notes but one thing to note, if you want to smell authentic sandalwood, this is the one to get, and after all ain't nothing wrong with smelling fresh and clean, this might be after all my favorite Neroli fragrance.

Not my kind of fragrance
I bought Century blind, because it was cheap and it was a bad decision :/
At first, it was repulsive, but now I just find it okay.
It smells very earthy, sour and metallic with a grape-like undertone - it comes off like burnt rubber dipped in grape juice, as strange as it sounds.
The composition would be pretty interesting, but the cypriol is really overpowering and it ruins everything for me.
It certainly smells better in the air, but unfortunately, it doesn't project a whole lot.
Longevity on it is decent though, about 7 hours.
I can't even think of an occasion or a season to wear this, Spring and Fall daytime I guess.

This is certainly not for everyone, please sample before you buy, even if you can get it for a bargain price.
Don't make the same mistake as I did.

Century is citrusy in the opening, then you get a floral neroli, a woody/leathery sandalwood and a cypriol heart with some musk in the base.

Varm, spicy, smooth. A masterpiece on my skin. Similar to Le Labo 33 but in my opinion better, more masculine and less sharp.

Classy, sharp and gentlemanly. A more dressed up version of Dunhill Icon. Cuts sharp in the opening due to the cypriol oil, but smoothes out

Century harks back to the days of the classic man cologne: citrus, aromatic, dry, a bit herbal and bitter.

I like it. Similar to Icon but the cypriol takes it in another direction. 8/10. Swiss Army knife fragrance

One of the most versatile designer releases in the last decade or so, easily the best modern Dunhill fragrance, period.
