When the much derided category of fresh/aquatic/sport scents is discussed, this one should be in the mix. It is a light, pleasant, synthetic, boring and forgettable. Underneath this boring purity is a slightly salty skin scent. Dunhill put this out the same year as Pursuit, (which is better, with its amber and spices) and appears to have forgotten about it. It was never marketed and it seems to have come and gone without any notice. Even Dunhill seems to have been bored with it. The best thing going is its re-use of the earlier Dunhill for Men bottle, this time in frosted glass. This is possibly the low water mark for this house, whose earlier classics ('34, Edition, Blend 30) are masterpieces and their later scents--Desire, Excentric, etc.--are decent. Dunhill is trying to regain some lost ground with their latest offerings (Custom, 51.3N, etc.) but they have a long way to go! I am wearing this as I write the review and after about two hours it is almost completely gone, although there is a slight lingering scent as if one had taken a bath with Mr. Bubble hours earlier.
