Reviews of Dunhill Fresh (2005)
by Alfred Dunhill

Great summer fragrance. Last long on my dry skin which is rare for designer fragrance offerings. The patchouli is very, well, fresh and over the fragrance just smells great. But this isn't a clean fresh like Mugler Cologne or Acqua di Gio. Still it's a nice green fresh floral.

This has become my fragrance for the summer. This and hugo energise, ladies love'em both. Dunhill fresh reminds me of farenheit, they both share an ingrediente Im sure

Very plain, clean aquatic fresh.
Doesn't come off generic though.
This is by a wide margin my favorite fresh aquatic yet.
Nothing smells cheap or out of place.
Very plain, very good.

The frequently contradictory opinions of Basenotes members continues to amaze me.

In this case, I think I agree with the producers of the fragrance: Dunhill Fresh is a take your pick
1. a light version of the original 1934 fragrance,
2. a "fresh" version of the orignal, or
3. a warm weather version of the original.

There's a great deal gooding for this fresh version of a classic: it's that the freshness also seems natural, it lasts a good amount of time, and true to it's name, I can detect notes of the original classy fragrance.

As for the comparision to something like "Cool Water," I say absolutely not! I get virtually none of the headache making, nasal passage irritating artificial freshness notes that I get from many modern fragrances such as Davidson's "Cool Water," Calvin Klein's "Etermity," and even the current version of Burberry's "Burberry For Men."

I give it more than one Thumbs Up.

Good, "fresh" scent, as the name implies. A good alternative to Coolwater or Polo Blue if you ever get sick of those. The spray is nice, although the glass is a bit slippery, I feel like it'll fall everytime I use it. You'd also think that Dunhill would be able to come up with a better name.... Regardless, the scent is good.

i like it very much very fresh stays for a long time very chic

BASED ON THESE REVIEWS, IT SEEMS GUYS EITHER LOVE IT OR HATE IT. I LOVE IT. I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE NOT LOVING IT. I THINK THE NEW DUNHILL HOMME AND DUNHILL FRESH ARE TWO OF THE BEST, NEW FRAGRANCES PRODUCED IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. JOSHAUGUSTT

Again, I am a big dunhill fan so perhaps you should be warned about that from the start. I really, really like this scent though. Of the "newer" line of dunhill's it is probably my second favorite after dunhill (I think that is all it is called but the newer man's scent from 2003 at any rate). As gio said, dunhill fresh is exactly as the name implies it is very fresh and clean smelling. Almost crisp, if that makes any sense. And like all of dunhill's scents (to me anyway) it seems very sophisticated and not overpowering or anything like that. If applied properly it is hard for me to see this scent giving anyone a headache, but then everyone is different. This fragance is good for daytime wear and I would say mostly during warmer weather, though it could be used year around. I also really like the bottles that Fresh and dunhill come in. They are very classy looking and feeling. Big thumbs up here.

Perfect for summer, very fresh, patchouli note remembers something of Chanle's Allure.
