Dunhill Pure

Dunhill Pure is absolutely amazing while being completely subtle and "under the radar". Slightly aquatic without the usual suspects, PURE takes leaves, flower parts and spices blending them into something that is at once ethereal yet lasting... I must concur with Eros, in that this opens fresh and watery, but becomes creamier in the end. In the opening lotus give a very soft floral nuance; very watery but also soft and silky. The pepper (white) warms this a bit, but it does not become sharp or pungent. Iris/orris keeps it "cool" and adds some earthy green to the smooth sexy cardamom. This is neither too spicy nor too powdery, but the best of both without being too much of either. This is truly gorgeous! I was always a fan of aquatic scents (until they all started to smell the same), but THIS is superlative. Fresh and alluring with just enough spice and floral feeling to smell quite different than any other "water" scent. This is clean, fresh and sooo smooth. A delight to wear and a definite compliment getter. Sexy without musk or heaviness, elegant and refined, refreshing without being generic...a definite full bottle worthy selection for anyone who likes to smell subtle but stunning... Sillage: good Longevity: very good Overall: 4.5/5 As far as the other reviews below go...if my cat's urine smelled like THIS, I would let him pee anywhere he wanted!! Perhaps some need to try before they buy as skin chemistry does do some strange things, but as for me: I am in LOVE! I get the aquatic vibe for sure, but underneath there is such unassuming beauty waiting to emerge...pure is the perfect name for this scent. Nothing dirty or "sinful" here, just unadulterated joy!

I've really developed an appreciation for masculine floral fragrances. This was one of the first I really loved. This is light, fresh, elegant, and restrained. Despite the note pyramid above, I get whiffs of white florals, primarily neroli. It could be the interplay of the lotus leaf and iris, who knows? I sure don't, but this is just so lovely. I see others comparing this to the likes of Acqua di Gio, but to my nose, it's completely unique. The light, fresh, "aquatic" thing has been done before, sure. But not like this. Performance is restrained and sits close to the skin, as with many British perfumes. It has an understated elegance and ethereal quality that I've not experienced elsewhere. This is one of my favorite summer freshies. Unique, refined, fresh, elegant, and so very British. Very cheap too. As long as this is available, I'll likely have it in my collection for summer.

if you like Armani Acqua di gio, get this instead, discontinued yes, but still can be had for 35 dollars tops for a 75ml, fresh, spicy, oceanic like the color of the juice in frosted bottle, and its so soothing, manly....confident, Im slowly starting to appreciate what the house of Alfred Dunhill has done over the years, sad that they dont get their due love in community. this is not a masterpiece definitely but so beautiful in terms of composition, i get mild fruitiness from it too with the marine floral accord 8.5/10

Alfred Dunhill has done it again! This masculine floral aquatic is a great option for the summer.. The bottle is frosted with a heavy metal cap.. Great for summertime fun in the sun.. I agree with Joy that this is a great cheaper alternative to acqua di gio.. Very easy to wear.. It’s hard to imagine anyone not liking this scent.. I heard it has recently become discontinued.. Great work Dunhill! Rating 8.3/10

I love this frag unconditionally. This is a fresh modern, definetely the lotus leaf brings up the scent higher than anything around. This cologne makes me happy while being energized, not a type that would kill your sensory and give nausea. Lucky I got this while there are tons of others I haven't actually get used to.
