British Leather

Dunhill British Leather: 2019 Top: Guatamalan Cardamom, Juniper, Hazelnut, Bergamot,Lemon Middle: Mate, Orange Blossom, Lavender, Pepper, Violet Leaf Bass: Leather, Cypress, Patchouli, Sandalwood Ok. . so I am a passionate FanBoy of all things Dunhill. I like that this house really knows what it is doing--in the sense of a delightful open always with a drydown and base that is seldom to be described as 'Challenging'. Depth, caress, and wisdom. Most Dunhill does not linger too terribly long. I like this so I can rotate fragrances and get fragrance off of my fabrics. I carry travel size sometimes, as well. Side Rant: I finally got it through my thick skull what 'Challenging' means. So, I get it. Not for all applications. Think before you sprink. You go out on a date and say, 'I found the date Challenging'. Oh my, don't get me started on saying stupid and snarky things about challenging. It is good manners to describe something as Challenging, I suppose. To the Point: In this case Dunhill sets the tea and bisquit on the bookmark matched, grained oak table and smacks you clean across your head. It's just a joke, alright?!! Yep. We are getting some medium-bold leather here but it settles into a delightful and natural drydown. It is kind of a wet forest floor smell crossed with Juniper. I just adore Juniper, even after battling and maybe even losing, to an entire army of them to clean out the dead branches. Winter is when Junipers smell so nice--the leaves smell different than the bark. This fragrance is more of a Juniper Bark. I was past my neck in them, and by accident fell in love with the bark after it had rained. The Cypress is present on open to add to this wonderful woody world of wicked. Wow. There seems to be a slightly wet plant/grassy essence. Is it maybe the mate or mate maybe? Hazelnut is present for sure. I put unsweetened Hazelnut essence in my coffee sometimes and I just love it. Challenging--Not for All Applications (so I learned) I think it would be wise to forward plan wearing a Leathery scent such as Dunhill British Leather. This particular Leather is more carefully cultivated than most. It is thoughtful and kind of rough-hewn, all at once. In final drydown it even has a MacEdam (asphault) quality. I don't think a really cute Girly-Girl would dig this but really--you never know do you? I mean where yah ben??!! Side Rant: Yep. A different Leather/A different Forest: Juicy Couture Majestic Forest tackles 'it' with the same direct-hit approach. The Musk does have a Leathery quality. Top tier ingredients and a ground up redesign for the Majestic Forest, and Golden Amber. These two marked I believe the 'Signature Series' or was it 'Regency'--a re-boot of sorts. Too many people joined the Snark Parade, portraying Juicy as cheap smelling or synthetic smelling. I just like it to smell good. What is this Competitive Sniffing Club?!! The Juicy Signature or was it Regency Series was presented as the very best ingredients and an all-new approach. Still, I think it has some laboratory playfulness about it and carries the impact that only synthetics can deliver. (Montale and Mancera--they really get it--I think.) In my opinion Majestic Forest may contain some synthetics. Juicy is more playful, and even aggressive in its formulation. Maybe what goes on in the forest is not so natural?? Oh, just stop. Juicy Couture Dirty English is one of my ultimate favorites with Black Leather, Peppered Musk, Atlas Cedar, Blackmoss. So, so incredible but seems to get a lousy rap. Again, medium-leather and not likely to offend. Dunhill British Leather: Buy this if you dig Leather but are maybe a bit prissy with it. A few drinks and. . .naw--just kidding. Do not wear for first impressions with people you do not know that well. For the 'Sporting Boys and Girls' that just do things differently this is wonderful. Dialing in at the slightly more than $100 (USD), you should maybe get a decant. A blind buy on this would be taking a chance unless you are a Dunhill Fanboy like me. One serious piece of info. or opinion more likely: Dunhill quietly and with great care makes the finest fragrances for gents. The finest. Sometimes getting something that makes sense and feels really good is the thing to do. British Leather. . how can it be so naughty and make such sense? I guess you never really know.

First of all, it has a bit of an animalic smell, but you can clearly feel the smell of leather. Although it was made in 2019, it evokes the smell of classic perfumes of previous decades. After ten minutes, herbal streaks will appear in it. It seems to be slightly smoky and the smell of cedar leaves can be recognized in it. At this time, I think it is a bit similar to Encre Noir by Lalique. As long as the life of the perfume passes; It will smell better. It was better that colour of the solution was very dark green. It also smells like an experienced man. The personality that this perfume instills: A person over 40 years old that is completely carefree and strong-willed. In general, the name of the perfume implies that we are only faced with a perfume with the smell of leather, but only for the first half hour, that is, until the beginning of the middle note, it has a leathery smell, and then it is no longer leathery, and it becomes a kind of dark Fougere fragrance. اولش که یکم بوی انیمالیک داره ولی بوی چرم رو هم میشه واضح حس کرد. با اینکه سال 2019 درست شده ولی بوی عطرهای کلاسیک دهه های قبل رو تا حدودی تداعی میکنه بعد از ده دقیقه رگه های گیاهی تویش ظاهر میشه. انگار یک کم دودی میشه و بوی برگ سرو رو میشه تویش تشخیص داد. در این زمان به نظرم یک مقداری شبیه به انکره نویر لالیک شده رنگ محلول بهتر بود که بجای قهوه ای رنگ، سبز تیره می بود همچین به نظرم بوی یک مرد با تجربه و جاخورده رو میده شخصیتی که این عطر به انسان القا میکنه؛ یک انسان بالای 40 سال و کاملا بی خیال و با اراده ای قوی میتونه باشه در مجموع از اسم عطر برمیاد که فقط با عطری با بوی چرم مواجه باشیم، ولی فقط نیم ساعت اول یعنی تا اوایل نت میانی بوی چرمی داره و بعدش دیگه چرمی نیست و عطری تو مایه فوژه تاریک میشه

I get some similarities with the sweet leather of Memo Italian Leather in the top, while the base has a noticeable smoky mate note, and shares strong similarities with Memo Irish Leather / Rasasi LY Ambergris Showers (arguably a bit more spicy/woody/smoky -too much?- and appealing than the latter 2). Performance on my skin is moderate, both in projection and longevity. Still, might tick the boxes for who doesn't already own one of the previously cited fragrances. That said, I would wait a bit for the price to decrease under $50 - the right price point imho - as the current pricing at discounters (~$100) is still a bit steep given a quality that stands more in the higher end of mainstream more than luxury, imho. Even if nothing new, I still think that it's an excellent blend by Pierre Negrin, and probably the best achievement of the first four fragrances issued in Dunhill's Signature Collection.

This is a clean, green, spicy leather. Definitely totally masculine, and somewhat traditional. It smells of high quality, and it smooth but also aggressive in some ways. I love this stuff. I have most of the Dunhill signature collection, and this may be my favorite. I didn't initially think so, but it has me in love. No, this is not a warm, sweet, boozy, "sexy" scent. It is a strong, purposefule, confident, clean, masculine frag. Somehow the leather is scrubbed and showered, but also rich and unapologetic. The comparison to dunhill edition is somewhat accurate, but edition is fruitier up top, with oakmoss on the drydown as opposed to the British Leather which has zero sweetness and leather in the base. There is some kind of faint resemblance though. It's like British Leather is the higher end, richer, less sweet version. I like edition, but it smells cheap and thin compared to this. I love this frag.

#503 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This Dunhill line is proving impressive. The first I tried, Arabian Desert, influenced me to get decants of the rest of the line, and so far so good. I'm not ordering Agar Wood as I have many oudy scents already. I have ordered Moroccan Amber. Despite that I love this scent, the bergamot already is giving me a runny nose, so this won't be a buy for me. But for those without my allergy to bergamot (tragic as I love the scent) this British Leather scent, which is an interestingly complex leathery-woody.is a bargain. Moderate EDP longevity and projection, but adequate. Good office and formal scent. Good casual wear for cooler to cold weather. Okay date wear, not club wear. Overall versatility and a good buy at $55. And I love the heavy bottles.
