A male-centric brand Dunhill caters to the classic style of men, from the era of leather and when cars were just making waves in the world. A brand that progressed from being a saddle maker into a luxury items house. Their shops have a gentlemen's club feel, with cigars and a bar. The fragrance range is full of options for men and a single scent or women.

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.

The fragrance range

The first fragrance by Dunhill is the original 'Dunhill for Men', a scent that was released in 1934. In line with the brand image, the most powerful base note present was leather. Over the years Dunhill has produced many scents, with their general leaning towards being musky. With lots of woodsy tones layered on with spices and fruits. They are able to be fresh and yet have a deep sense of wholesomeness. One of the most successful lines by Dunhill has been their Dunhill Desire range, the original Red and the later Blue were internationally known for a good decade. 

Dunhill now has a wide range, they cater to the classic style of men harkening back a bygone era; think James Bond. The character also used to use Dunhill lighters in the movies and in print. The fragrances are complex concoctions designed to make the user feel more confident, accentuating their gentle masculinity. Providing a full experience and not just a scent.
