    Masculine as hell and not ashamed of it. Still, this is no growling beast on the prowl. This is English gentleman personified -- class all the way.

    What amazes me about this frag is its versatility, in that I feel just as comfortable wearing it with khakis and a sweater as I do wearing it with black tie.

    Easily one of the best uses of a carnation heart note in any frag out there.

    I must say that I have fallen for this fragrance in a big way. I am forced to surmise that the neutral and negative reviews here might be for the 2003 fragrance release Dunhill for Men, which is entirely different. Now, on to the fragrance itself. In my opening Dunhill opens with a blast of indolic bergamot, lavender while the heart florals of rose, muguet, geranium, jasmine, and others arise. The opening is soapy, but soapy in a good way. The dry down is composed of musk, tonka, discreet vanilla, leather, and possibly a drop of civet or castoreum for the nuance—but mere nuance—of an animalic note. This IS the pre-WWI masculine Luca Turin is searching for! Citrus on top, flowers in the middle, and a drop of animalic musk to temper the base. Also, even though this is an EdC concentration, it last all day and intensifies if the weather is hot. This is a must buy for any serious perfumer enthusiast and is available online for low prices—look for the cylinder bottle!

    This is a scent that demands superlatives. It is the epitome of refinement; the paragon of masterly blending of quality ingredients; it is masculine elegance personified. It captivates from its polished citrus / herbal / lavender opening through its rich and masculine floral heart to its unforgettable leather and cedar drydown. Great longevity even though it is an EDC. It’s as smooth and rich as a fragrance can be imagined to be. It is the perfect example of "classic" and has been since its 1934 creation. It’s impossible to praise this one too much: Distinguished, sophisticated, manly, compelling, discontinued. Get it while it is still available.

    The Baron de Charlus once told me: "It was in a Hampshire churchyard that I first encountered the original Dunhill for Men (1934). It emanated from an elderly and aristocratic-looking clergyman, complete with tweeds and pipe, who was busy poking his walking stick at dandelions among the tombstones.
    Drawing rather too close for his comfort, I proceeded to sniff at him prodigiously. 'A somewhat timid tincture,' I pronounced, 'but nonetheless perfectly balanced in its reticence: a conservative combination that manages to be quietly ecstatic in its progressive fusions of citrus, florals and restrained leather. As the admirable GiantG has remarked, it demands superlatives, although personally I would prefer just a touch more strength and duration.'
    'Excellent, my dear fellow,' replied the reverend gentleman rather nervously, somewhat disconcerted by my close proximity, 'jolly good show and all that. But perhaps you and the admirable GiantG should go back to from where you came, lest, God forbid, something unseemly should chance to happen.'"

    Now that this is discontinued, I wonder what it was that I was actually smelling at the discount fragrance purveryors over the last few weeks? The bottle is not the attractive clear crystal glass that appears at the head of this review, it was swirled frosted glass, not unlike the one for Edition. It smelled all right, interesting, but not the compelling, ultra-great scent that is the subject of encomia here. And I am a total sap for great traditional fragrances, and would have snapped it up in a second if it had been anywhere near great. I am suspicious and therefore, neutral as to what is now being sold as Dunhill Men.....

    I found the real Dunhill for Men at the Dunhill in NYC, and have to report it is one of the finest classic mens' fragrances I have ever tried and owned. These are the last bottles (1,000 shipped to the NY Flagship store) that will ever be made, and I bought two. May go back for more. This is a warm, sophisticated, fresh, modern timeless fragrance that is without peer. Some have suggested that this a fragrance of arrogance. I disagree. What I sense in Dunhill for Men is wit and manners. I think of William Powell, who appeared in "The Thin Man" in 1934, the same year that this fragrance was born. The well dressed 30s man may seem arrogant today in these banal and shallow times, but it is wit, style and good manners that are projected here and nothing less.

    Some discount stores sell this, but it is not fresh, and it is IMHO suspect. The real Dunhill for Men is one of the all time greats.
