Dunhill Black

This has become my most worn fragrance of all my bottles this summer. I have around 50. This is a lovely, fresh, green, and slightly woody aromatic fragrance that I just can't get enough of lately! I spray myself heavily and with no apologies! Starts off with a big blast of aromatic nettle, with a slight floral nuance of lavender and jasmine. After the opening sinks into the blend a bit, the florals make way for a gorgeous soft suede with some woody backnotes of cedar and guaiac. This is an all occasion, all season easy reach. Best for warm weather, but does ok in high heat as well. Late spring through early fall is best for this, but you can rock it in colder weather with aplomb as well. Why not? Elegant, masculine, and, like many Dunhills, so, so British. Refined and restrained. Not a loud scent, but very pleasant and performs well in most weather. An almost effervescent opening, sparkles and shimmers. Nettle is the star here, and I'd have never bought it if I had known that, because I've never cared for nettle. But this is artfully blended in a harmonious balance. Very nice. My tastes are constantly changing, but as of this writing, I'd say this for me is a 10/10.

I agree that it does smell dark, if not actually 'black'. The nettle accord is interesting and different, but for me only shows up in the first few seconds. Thereafter it takes on a classy dark sweet vibe that's modern and masculine, where I think the lavender complements the woody base really well. The more I've worn it, the less I've noticed the nettle accord but nonetheless I sense that it's still there giving it that inky green vibe that others have described. The jasmine accord gives it a welcome touch of transparency too. Overall it reminds me a lot of a green tinged version of Kenzo L'eau Pour Homme. I also think it's ESSENTIAL to layer it with the after shave balm so as to get good longevity (I get 6 or so hours) with sillage that remains discreet but noticeable. Like the other Dunhills I've had (Pursuit, London, and Pure), Black is a friendly choice, very attractive in concept and presentation, but is somewhat let down by the dubious quality of its ingredients. Nevertheless, this is still very good, and is my favourite Dunhill so far. In fact I wish I got a bigger bottle than the 30mls I'm currently using.

i just try it today Alfred Dunhill surprise me with each new product I like Dunhill products without discrimination Especially pursuit But this one will put all new Dunhill products under tough test After he put the previous behind (and that's really happend today after i test him i test the new Dunhill 51.3N but i just return to smell this one) he is starting a new strong era of Alfred Dunhill he is the best one in my opinion Strong masculine fragrance One of the best modern woody fragrance with a heart of lavender gives him a dreamer sense , and takes you quickly to a gripping combination of wonderful wood and leather harmonious nicely until I felt some sweetness And I think he will last for a long time he still strong and effective on the test paper for 5 hours tell now I'm going to buy him tomorrow for sure.. Notes : 1- If you are not man enough so please stay away and never use.. 2- Women...be worry 3- i used "he" instead of " it " because he is not a fragrance !! he is a stylish sensual man will Merge you making you someone else

It is quite simple yet delightfully fresh, green, woodsy floral potion. Nettle is distinguishable at the top, in my opinion with sour guaiac and sharp lavender, then it settles gently with smooth jasmine and musk (not listed? This may be actually suede-jasmine mix) with transcendent scent of suede and very light cedar (comparing to cedar-wise fragrances). Black maybe as a suit fabric, though it is quite smart but it reminds me rather of charming summer evening walk in surrounding of lake, river. The scent of humid, mild air and night flowers and water plants (or herbs like Mentha aquatica) This is actually a great calm perfume which could bring back good memories of vacation. Yes, it is not entirely innovative, but nontheless very pleasant. And, additionally, if sprayed generously it gives back generous, satisfying sillage and longevity. As a gentle fragrance, it could be a great choice for office or casual occasion, especially evenings during warm season such as garden parties, weddings, events.

I have this and have been wearing it for a while now, but what I get from this is the very nice nettle backed up by the other notes dring down to the nettle with a little woods. I like this fragrance and tend to pair it with summer/spring rainy days. I don't recommend it if you are looking for a strong beast mode type of profile this is not that kind of fragrance. IMO this is a easy green frag for days for your self-care as it just makes me feel good, but on my skin, it projects for a short time becomes a skin scent quickly at least on me.
