Dunhill the brand

"Everything but the motor" a tag line that Dunhill has used for the definition of their brand, making accessories for men interested in motorsports. The current style line was started in 1893 when Alfred Dunhill inherited his father's saddle business. Already in the line of leathers, he went on to make items in use by motorists, it was the right time as cars were getting all the fame possible. Over the years Dunhill moved into the luxury good business, within that spectrum they also started a line of fragrances. A brand essentially for men, the fragrance line has only one scent for women - Desire for a Woman from 2001.

Dunhill Desire Blue 

After the 2000 launch and success of Dunhill Desire Red, the brand launched Desire Blue. The only similarity between the two was the muskiness and their success in the market, Desire Blue was very different otherwise. Giving the feel of an aquatic character, especially with the use of calone. It is a bit fresh and fruity but manages to be so without being sweet.

The top notes include litchi, mandarin orange, lotus and bergamot, while the middle is made from orange, Brazilian rosewood and calone; with the base made from tonka bean, amber, musk and benzoin.

This smokey cologne was concocted by Phillipe Romano.

Comments

Dunhill Desire Blue is still as relevant as when it was launched, it can still be worn to great effect. The price makes it accessible, with the price falling in the mid-ranges.
