Dunhill Desire Extreme

Dunhill is a brand that caters to men more than it does to women. The modern brand we know was reoriented from a saddle making brand that Alfred Dunhill inherited. Over time Dunhill has also gotten into fragrance production, with the Desire line being one of the most successful.

This success was international and also spawned many iterations over time; such as Desire Extreme as well which was launched in 2017.

This cologne retains some of the feelings of the original Dunhill Desire Red, not that it has similar tones or scents. But the sophistication, versatility and depth are in the same range; giving both of them kin like characteristics.

The top notes consist of blood orange, saffron and bergamot. These give it a fresh open with some warmth from saffron. This leads to the heart notes that have cypress and clary sage. Wood notes are a major tone of cypress and the clary sage is a very potent green note.

At the base, one finds leather, vetiver, patchouli and amber. This is where the known Desire musk comes in, a side of fragrances that is often considered to be the 'manly' tone.

The staying power is roughly at 5 to 7 hours which is quite a bit. After which a person would need to be closer to smell it.

Dunhill Desire Extreme is associated with the night and winter due to the deeper, darker tones. Other people think of it as okay for autumn and daytime as well. This of course is a matter of personal preference, when you decide to wear it. The versatile nature makes it a great regular wear cologne.
