Desire Blue Dunhill 2002 Eau de Toilette

It was in the summer of 2003 when the cheeky blue bottle caught my eye and I couldn't resist. The scent is subtly fruity and aquatic, but with a rather pulsating warm character instead of a refreshingly cool one. I was delighted. I had never encountered anything like it before - so I casually took it with me.

It wasn't until many hot summer days later that I realized that this very mix of fruity and woody notes along with the marine accords could really get on my nerves. At least there is something in it that causes me strong discomfort after a while.

I had actually long since pushed Desire blue out of my mind, but when I recently received a sample of S. Oliver's "Original Men," everything came rushing back to me almost literally. For that one is anything but original; rather, it is an exact copy of Desire blue. So, anyone who actually likes this scent and is looking for an affordable alternative can now find it in drugstores.
The fragrance pyramids have hardly anything in common, which once again calls into question the truthfulness of ingredient claims.
Sad, but true.
