Dunhill Fresh Dunhill 2005 Eau de Toilette

I don't really remember how I stumbled upon Dunhill fragrances, but they are definitely worth something and are still affordable ... if you can still find them, as officially there is only the Eau de Parfum (!) Icon along with its flankers. This one also does very well here with a score of 8.0, but personally, it plays too much in the "old man" league for me. I don't mean to discredit anyone, but there are indeed those fragrance compositions that remind me more of family gatherings in the 1980s! ;-)

Now, let's talk about Dunhill Fresh (DF). I would rather call it "Green," and not just because of the light green color. Anyone who looks at the ingredients will know why. The undeniably present freshness does not come (as is usually the case) from citrus fruits and/or aquatic notes, but from herbs, grasses, and flowers. This already sets DF apart from the wide range of fresh fragrances.

The scent is very originally composed and thus has a character of its own. I give it high praise for that. All in all, however, it is a bit too "washed out" for me in the drydown, although at a ridiculous 20 € for 100 ml, there is nothing to complain about price-wise. DF is certainly much more to my liking than Dunhill London, where the name also seems inappropriate, as it primarily takes on a fruity-sweet cuddly course.

There will certainly be one or two occasions to wear DF, but in my collection, there is also stronger and better competition for the warm season! ;-)
