My favorite Dunhill Signature
This fragrance is just what I was looking for. It is original, floral yet manly and its deep and dark without being too incense-like or smoky. A few of the reviews of Egyptian Smoke have sounded like this, but I think this might be more floral, maybe just a tad sweeter, and a little less smoky. I have been over spraying it just because I love it so much, the smell makes me feel like I cannot get enough. It might be basic and linier for the more niche enthusiast, but it is a unique smell IMHO.
Performance is great. It lasts 6 hours or more on the skin, though gets weaker over that time. Sillage seems good too, I can certainly smell this prominently for a while without putting my nose near where I sprayed it. But this is with 4 sprays.
It reminds me a bit of an old fashioned with bourbon, muddled maraschino cherry and orange. It has those darker red fruit notes to it and maybe some citrus, but nothing tropical or too sweet! Id almost say blood orange. Its like a bourbon with small bit of honey sweet, not like the more trendy confectioner/baked goods or vanilla sweet you get from some annoying designer fragrances that are currently popular. I would say its versatile and unobtrusive. I would have a hard time imaging someone being put off by this scent.
The floral note makes me think of rose, but its nothing like Burberry Garden Roses. Its more manly and it is not youthful but in comparison Garden Roses smells like a grandma to me.
I get the suede note, like a clean pair of new suede shoes. This exudes class, without being pretentious or in your face. This is for the sigma in the best way possible. Someone who doesn't follow trends, who is stable and confident in themselves, maybe in between introvert and extrovert, with a unique artistic side.
You can find these in the $50 range. I wonder how long that will last. I stocked up on a few! At that price it gets full stars for value!
