Alfred Dunhill Reviews

• Review of Desire by A. W.
  "Desire is sweet and fresh and a bit powdery. The most noticeable note is of ripe, red apple, which is a nice change from citrus. The powdery notes surround the apple almost like a cloud of powdered sugar. The scent opens up when the patchouli begins to warm on the skin, but the patchouli is not a heavy, forward note such as the patchouli in, say, Michael for Men. The positive qualities of patchouli - the cool, exotic earthiness - are at work with none of the hippie headshop smell. As the apple recedes, a rose note moves in beside the patchouli. The rose is lovely, sweet and soft and not terribly feminine. The vanilla in the bottom is light, dry, like white sugar that has been cured with vanilla beans. Labdanum is also in the base, which has an earthy-woody smell, a dry note. The powderiness grows and grows with wear."
• Review of Desire by Chris C.
  "One of my all time favorites. I found this fragrance by trying to find something similar to Diesel plus plus masculine (which is my all-time favorite). They share a very unique, sweet citrus note that I absolutely love. Desire red also shares this note with it's younger brother, Desire Blue, which I also own and love. I am a huge fan of the entire dunhill line, as I consider each fragrance to be unique, neccessary, and of high quality. Some claim desire red to be overly sweet, but I completely disagree. The initial spray can be overwhelming, but if used sparingly, this is a fragrance that will have heads turning in delight. The aformentioned unique note is very mysterious and un-namable, but very familiar at the same time. I highly reccommend this one!"
• Review of Desire by Jason B.
  "Spicy, sweet, powdery, colorful fragrance. Very nice bottle and the red color matches well with the fragrance. Long lasting and keeps well in it's bottle. I have had my bottle for at least 4 years and it still smells the same as the day I got it. May be too candy-sweet for some. A bit synthetic, but unique enough that one can overlook that fact. Released in 2000. Very good for night wear."
• Review of Desire by Jorge V.
  "This is one of the best colognes I have smelled in a while. It was given to me as a gift and thought it was cheapy. Well its NOT!!! It has a smooth sweet smell. Best of all only have to spray a little and it smells great. It stays on for a long time, it's long lasting smell is awesome. I would definetly purchase another one. As a matter of fact I might just do that right now. A+++ cologne."
