Amalfi Citrus

A very easy wearing fragrance. A nice burst in the opening of a citrus & green like aroma that has a juicy tartness to it. That probably lasts 10-15 minutes and for me Amalfi Citrus goes into a slight woods & aromatic vibe with a tinge of a floral component. Very subtle but, it adds an element of airy class with deeper wood accords. This is not a screamer of a fragrance nor will it pop off of one's skin announcing you arrived at the party. Rather for me, it delivers a nice mellow clean & classy vibe. The dry down is slightly sweet with a tea like note and soft musks that actually blend in well with my skin. It's a simple citrus, woods & musk creation that exudes a chill and laid back vibe through & through. Longevity is actually quite good for me with this juice lasting close to 8 hours though in the final 1/3 it sits very close to the skin as if it were a clean musky morning dew. Projection is not its strong point, 45 minutes to maybe an hour tops but, again that's just on me. It really is a very well done chill fragrance for the laid back individual that doesn't want to be front & center in any summer or warm weather activity. If you want something that may garner more attention and will give you a livelier wear, there are others that will take you there like JV Artisan Pure, TF Private Blend Neroli Portofino line up & Mandarino plus niche quality scents like Xerjoff Torino21 & 23, ADP Colonia line and a couple from Mancera. An honorable mention to Al Haramain's Portfolio Neroli Canvas (excellent summer vibe fragrance) with more punch and arguably better or worse performance. They are all louder than Amalfi Citrus by Dunhill but, this one is the casual & laid back king of backyard summer outings and cool summer night's out. And for the money and real good quality of fragrance composition, it's definitely worthy of consideration and a real good bang for buck creation.

Totally underrated. I have an extensive perfume collection (as per profile) and for the money the Dunhill Signature series packs a whallop. This is an oily tart bitter lemon rind on sweet Neroli and a touch of greeness thanks to some rosemary. It has a very slightly soapy drydown almost having a laundered feel. Very fresh and uplifting. Somewhat reminiscent of Eau Sauvage but focused on the citrus fruit experience on a linear plain - Negative reviews can be dismissed as bargain basement hunters expecting Xerjoff performance. Has a stronger sillage than you may register - my only complaint is after 30 minutes the amazing opening settles powering away in a linear fashion becoming anosmic - though other people keep commenting how strong and good it is when you think it’s gone. Great buy, as was Nordic Fougere (also the subject of mundane reviews) for which its performance and offer is completely misrepresented on Fragrantica. I own quite a few from the series and again for the money they are pretty schmick and definitely for enthusiast fragheads looking for something very well made for not much money. I’ve reached out to some fellow collectors involved in the industry and we agree Signature line is sadly a well kept secret.

I saw a couple of very positive reviews on this and, being a citrus fragrance lover, felt I needed to try it. Have to admit the name caught my eye as well, as I’m planning a trip to il bel paese. My verdict: very impressive! The juice looks beautiful and goes on quite fresh, tangy, juicy and GREEN. Some florals and tea notes underneath and then settles in nice and soapy. It’s a beautifully understated masculine fragrance. By that I mean it leans masculine, certainly more than most neroli releases, but it’s not in your face like Bvlgari Wood Neroli, which I like but find they overamped the ambery-woody drydown. It wears pretty close to the skin like most true citrus frags, so you can go a little heavier on the trigger to lengthen your enjoyment of it without destroying nearby nostrils. You won’t smell it after 3-4 hours (others will if close by) so you’ll want to re-apply. It can’t match the Zegna Essenze releases which are the ultimate in masculine citrus (and last forever), but I’m wearing and enjoying the heck out of the Dunhill in my humid climate. As noted, the cap and bottle are impressive to see on your counter but overly difficult to work with, but worth it to get at what’s within.

If you name a fragrance "Amalfi Citrus", than you know what to expect. As the great citrus lover and collector that I am offcourse I was interested in the heavy discounted 100 ml bulky box and bottle from Dunhill. This one opens indeed with a pleasant lemon green mandarin and bitter orange. It's not a blast but very gentle and not sharp. It projects decent in the first two hours and after that Citrus Amalfi becomes a real nice slightly bitter spicy lemon neroli smell. Inoffensive and perfect for office or official meetings and that kind of activities. I also detect a very nice lemon soap accord that is very energetic and sparkling until the end. So there is some high concentrated lemon oil in this one that combines greatly with the tea note and yasmin and the other mentioned rather masculine notes. AC reminds me of Dior Eau Sauvage Cologne and John Varvatos Artisan Pure. This rather modest citrus edp feels pleasant in the fall and winter because of the vetiver, wood and amber in the rather masculine base. I wonder how Amalfi Citrus behaves in the spring and summer because the performance is not that great but I really like the smell so I will be over spraying this one for shure.

I think this is a very nice fragrance if you like your citrus'. To the mainstream nose this may see just seem like a bitter mess. Opening is a very strong blast of the top citrus notes until it dries down to a slightly floral and cardamon middle and then woody base. Reminds me of Tom Ford Neroli Portofino of course.mixed with 4711 but with slightly better performance in terms of sillage. But like most citrus fragrances, the performance is not still not great but that is what you will expect from a citrus fragrance. If you like your citrus' you can't go wrong with this one and can't wait to put it on in the summer where it wlll shine for Real.
