Desire Extreme

This is a unique, sexy fragrance that is very sophisticated. Your going to wear this when you want to feel sophisticated but not too serious. It is not in your face, but it creates a perfect scent bubble and keeps giving off gentle wafts for hours. I blind bought this and smelled it first on paper. Not impressed at all. I decided to give it a chance though, and on skin, I was pleasantly surprised. I smelled something sweet like golden honey and woods on a nice background of spice, with the leather note in the background really grounding everything, but this has the complexity of a fragrance that is sophisticated -- it has a complex smell. I smell a smokiness akin to tobacco as well, but more the ashtray type of tobacco ala Lanvin Avant Garde rather than something sweeter like in JV. Overall, glad I bought this. I already own multiple Dunhill Desire fragrances, including Desire, Desire Blue, Desire Black, and Desire Silver. The original and blue are probably my favorites overall, with Desire being a stunner, Blue being similar but with more citrus, Black being completely different peppery spice, and Silver being more soapy. Overall, a great add to my collection, I'd recommend it if you like sophisticated, understated fragrances.

the dunhill red and blue were iconic to many men for more than a decade due to their longevity and price tag, they always picked up compliments.but personally to my taste they were always over bearing on sweetness and too potent.if you didnt like those....look at this new flanker...its a different story, its more suited up, doesnt smell at all like the old red, its more mature, you get that beautiful blood orange which will remind you of one million by paco, but not as sweet, its more like one million prive style, it wont be animalic but very strong bold statement it will make, as time progresses you will get darker tones with the saffron,patch and leather, will be followed by familiar amber,but at no point it becomes vanilla/tonka like which is wonderful,its to wear at work, evening time, its gonna get compliments and respect, and the bottle is gorgeous,its no longer a synthetic obnoxious child's play...this is serious. longevity:7.5/10 projection:7/10 smell:8/10 versatility:6/10 Overall:8/10 fantastic mature release, sample it, dont blind buy, coz leather/darkness isnt everybody's cup of tea, cheers :)

This is my new updated review I feel that is fair for this fragrance!! Yes this does smell very similar to Polo red extreme what facets of the original desire in it but it is pretty much piggyback on Polo red extreme!! I really see myself gravitating to this for a couple months now I really adore it which also Polo red extreme is an Exquisite fragrance what time I purchase in the near future!!! To be fair as an extreme version my girl doesn't know what Polo red extreme smells like so I put the original desire and one hand and desire extreme on the other and she clearly can tell Extreme as more of a intense extreme version than tge sweet o.g. desire!! Its rich/ fruity/woody/spicey, exciting yet calming!!! Great edition to my desire line just picked up the silver edition its growing on me it changes everytime i wear it. Def. An interesting fresh scent, cant wait to try desire black!!

Edit: After trying this three times from a decant, I bought a bottle. I have tried it three more times over a 9 month period, and it is like a different fragrance. It has no base notes, no leather or patchouli, and while it has a nice fruity/spicy opening, that fades without being replaced by anything special. And there is an element that hits me as a bit scratchy/synthetic. I don't know if this is reformulation, if my decant was mislabeled or something else, but it isn't doing it for me anymore. --------------- JLD87 below makes a good point. This is not for the younger crowd, the Abercrombie & Fitch guys or guys who have three or fewer fragrances that they rotate through daily. The regular Desire Red, with its sweetness, orange blossom and vanilla, is more of what you want.

Dunhill zaman zaman parfümlerini aldığım ancak çok önemli bulmadığım, ambalajı ve sise tasarimi dışında mutlaka bir eksiğini gördüğüm marka. Bu parfüm için de durum aynı. Öncekilere oranla daha derli toplu olsa da yine eksiği var. Diğerleri gibi 1-2 Saat içinde kayboluyor koku. Oysa ilk 10 dakika içinde karşınızda muhteşem bir harman var. Notalarda deri olduğuna bakmayın. Fark etmek zor. Kumaş üstünde dahi ömrü 4 Saat kadar. Insanın üstüne yapışan parfümleri sevmem ancak en azından keyfini 4-5 Saat alabilmek lazım. Mümkün değil. Diğer parfümlerde olduğu gibi harika bir şişeye sahip. Çok uygun fiyata bulursanız alabilirsiniz. Sise yanınızda olmalı ve her 2-3 Saat içinde parfümü tazelemeniz lazım.
