Fragrance Reviews by paul

For the money it should last longer. I agree it is a lovely restrained earthy soapy vetiver, the Guerlain seems a little drier and certainly outlasts it. I really like the Lanvin and that is the cheapest by a mile, bright lemony soapy grassy and lasts all day.
Returning to add Mugler cologne to the comparison and that is my favourite of them all

Fantastically powerful and long lasting so apply with caution or no-one will be able to get near you! But still an absolute classic that has stood the test of time. If you search ebay it is remarkable how few used bottles are on offer compared to other famous fragrances.

This smells like Lauren's Safari but with a touch of mint and much less of the pine disinfectant, a bit like mixing Safari and Paco Rabanne PH and missing the nose wrinkling bits. Understated stuff.

I return to say I still think it is an original fragrance, much less in your face than Issey Bleu. It reminds me of snow and mint in the woods and cold. It can if overapplied though become cloying, the longevity is outstanding. I've found I can't wear it every day though. Still wonderful stuff.

Sadly I can't find this anywhere even on the manufacturers website. The Original Soap is the most simple manly sandalwood smell and I wish there was an EDC/EDT to go with it. Dunhill for Men Original nearly does it. Incidentally I see no sandalwood in the pyramid and I'm sure it dominates.
Fantastic, simple, masculine, invigorating and clean.

A lady friend of mine wears this, on her it makes you want to inhale her in one long sniff. I've tried it and on me it lasts half as long and is merely pleasant. On her it is nothing short of fantastic, sexy and inviting. I.ve never smelled it on anyone else so it seems to be uncommon If more women wore it I'd have to take lots more cold showers!

There are just so many "aquas" out there This is as good as any and cheaper than most, but doesn't stand out for me. It gets a thumbs up for the price

another "me too" has that faintly smoky, mineralic whiff that pops up in everything Boss and Axe do as well as cheap deodorants worldwide. Definitely try before you buy but not for me.

A nice clean just laundered smell with a hint of aquatics but longevity isnt up to much and others have done it so much better
If only Dunhill had stuck with Blend 33, Original, Edition and X centric.

I am struggling to put into words how wonderful this stuff is. Superb longevity and concentration from the EDT and aftershave. Heady, spicy oriental at first, citrus soapy then musky later, but much later.
I have never smelt anything approximating to it. Is it unique?
I now return to say I still think this an absolute classic, longlasting and very original.

A fruity woody and not unpleasant whiff but no lasting power Inoffensive and very average

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

I notice that no-one has actually owned up to "creating" Angel for men. Mr Morillas is to be congratulated for this lovely "just got out of the bath" cologne. (Not shower, shower to me means haste and lemon/lime/vetiver) this is all about soap, sandalwood and steamy mirrors, shaving soap and taking your time. I think Mr Morillas has crossed Palmolive with Cusson's Imperial Leather. I like it.

Well I disagree! This my favourite "pure" Vetiver, light bright, lasts ages with just a couple of squirts and economical to boot. The more mature noses will point out its relative lack of "sophistication" and it is lacking in the dry earthy notes of the really expensive stuff. For everyday wear this keeps up the just showered effect perfectly. Dunhill Original does it with sandalwood this with vetiver.

I've compared this with Creed and Lanvin and I own Dunhill Original and Blend 30.
This lasts longer than Creed (what doesn't)compared to which it is drier and creamier. It is much more restrained than Lanvin but I lean to the Lanvin as it is brighter and cleaner. There is just a hint of good, earthy,sexy earth here though. I like it but the Lanvin is half the price...

horrible horrible horrible. I had to wash it off immediately, I don't actually mind the coffee/chocolate opening but the sugared almond/baby powder basenotes are very cloying. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough for this one!

I've tried very hard to like this but I just can't get it out of my head that the topnotes are like talc and the drydown like Harpic. Sorry!

Manly ? Yes.
Rare? certainly
The dog's boxxox?
Without a doubt.
It's a love it or hate it thing.
I love it.
Personally Eau D'Hermes smells like your favourite Uncle.

This is lovely stuff, the blue, wet, salty cobbles soaked in pine needles type thing. As it wears off you do get a "nice ice" aroma. Distinctly male.

Water of green oranges eh? It does exactly what it says on the tin for me, it smells like it says, it is an EDC so lasts for a couple of hours and it livens you up no end.
One of my staff did keep saying "Why do I keep smelling gin?" but for summer this stuff is the business.

Very nice, (damning with faint praise?) blackberries, cream and currant bushes, wears close to the body, but does only last 5 hours on me.At this price it should last longer, or am I missing the point?

Currently eBay UK is awash with Police, original and I am very pleased I have got some.It is a slightly less mineralic version of Dunhill Xcentric, or a slightly more assertive version of Nicole Farhi for Men. It lasts well. Think rain on stones and blackcurrant bushes.

This love it or hate it stuff. I hate it.

I know I will sound like a complete tolloch (it's Gaelic for turd) but this amazing stuff smells as if a steel cucumber has been polished with gun oil, seaweed and the colour blue.

There seem to be two kinds of review in this section, those about the "new" Brut and those about some different stuff from the sixties.
The squarish shouldered Brut bottle has come into my possession (you will notice I did not say I paid money for it) It definitely does not contain the same stuff as the 60's and 70's which was way more powerful than this.
The "real" Brut(e!) is still readily available as Brut Classic for about £3.
I still don't like either of them.
You do not however have separate headings for them in the Faberge section.

I'm struggling to say anything good, or bad about this. I just get peppery orange and am struggling to distinguish it from dunhill.
Why keep releasing new, nondescript products when they already have the GREAT Dunhill for Men,and never promote it?
Edition seems to sell well as does Desire.
Please bring back Blend 30, produce a decent citrus for the Eau Sauvage generation and leave it at that.

Starts off like cucumber and watermelons
fades through figs to pine needles. Doesn't last more than half a day on me though

Lemons followed by sherbet lemons, quite short lived, but nice while it lasts. Balmain lasts twice as long.

lots of fresh lemon and pine needles at the end. Lasts all day. (I know this sounds like a toilet cleaner but trust me.)

Nothing wrong with it but the original is loads better. It seems like someone put some cucumber in there and then watered it down.

Having never smelt this I can not comment, but it is fascinating that recent events on a "reality" TV show have pushed up prices so fantastically. The power of the "tube"!

My wife wears this a lot. It smells like a fruitbowl. I want to jump in and get my five a day! Fantastic!

I have never been in an Egyptian brothel but if I had I'm sure it would smell like this. Absolutely nauseating.

Light mandarin/orangey whiff lasts well
If your girlfriend ever wore Aqua Manda you'll be reminded!

Smashing orangey start but goes all "old lady" powdery after an hour. The new version lasts not as well but stays fresher.

The EDC lasts all day and still available from UK. My daughter says it smells like clean man. I can't better that description!
