I find the bottles from Dunhill very beautiful. I don't have them in front of me, but I know the bottles from the Icon Collection. They always remind me of my father's travel toiletry kit. Inside were cylindrical silver containers for shaving foam and razors. These bottles have that nostalgic touch, and I also find the scents very fitting to this association.
I would like to thank Schücha for sharing three fragrances from this series that I was able to test. Unfortunately, the British Leather from this series was not available for now.
One thing to mention: I find all three fragrances with their oriental-woody note very successful. I am still too inexperienced to recognize specific scent notes. I will try to describe the fragrance to the best of my ability.
Now, to the Arabian desert:
After spraying, it becomes musty - patchouli-like. However, I think it is Oud that initially smells musty.
After a while, the fragrance becomes fresher due to the pepper. And the rose unfolds its floral scent. However, it remains very integrated on the strong base of the Oud, which softens its dark mustiness but does not lose it initially. A slight smoky note is added.
Overall, the fragrance remains heavy and dark woody with the pleasant rose.
The sillage is initially pronounced. After a maximum of two hours, it is only close to the body but still well perceivable. On the skin, it lasts a few hours.
Overall, a beautiful Oud-Rose fragrance, warm, soft, woody, for winter, for cuddling.
