Blend 30 (1978)
by Alfred Dunhill

I see that these reviews are all from a few years ago. I discovered Blend 30 decades ago and used it religiously, even as it faded from stores here in the US; I had an ongoing correspondence with one of the secretaries in the London office of Dunhill and she let me purchase the last two bottles they had in stock there... probably 23 years ago. I have hoped to find even a parfumier who would help reconstruct this complex and wonderful scent. Little else seems to mix will with my chemistry... much seems to smell fairly awful. I have settled on Safari as my daily... but long to find someone who can help me recapture Blend 30. I just tried to contact Dunhill, but their website was notably recalcitrant. Sigh.

One of the best i have ever used. And i am relying on 1980 and 1986 "experiences" . After Classic, D and Edition, Dunhill seems to have gone in stranger directions.

Yes got some on ebay!
This is amazingly powerful stuff which seems to hang around even after a shower.
It reminds me a little of "new" Worth in the smoky opening, like pine needles on a bonfire, definitely for evening wear. I know one lady who likes it very much indeed.
This is VERY poky stuff and easy to overdo, I couldn't wear it every day. Bedroom or boardroom I'd say

This was a great fragance and does not deserve its early demise. Complex herbals and florals (I could swear that there was a violet note)were perfectly ballanced and created a real one of a kind scent worthy of the Dunhill name. The musk and Tonka were excellent in the dry-down... and what a bottle! The official line at the time of its being discontinued was that the natural ingredients were too expensive for them to continue with production--not sure if that is so, but it makes sense, as this was great stuff. Dunhill regained some lost ground with their excellent Edition, but they have been on shaky ground ever since....

I have been in search for any men's cologne that remotely resembles Blend 30 with no luck. It was without a doubt the best fragrance I've ever encountered. Why was it discontinued? Please bring it back.

the best definition for me blend 30=Patou Pour Homme Green"
