Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Desire for a Man EDP

This one is a classic for a reason, despite the reformulation grumbles. Dunhill Desire for a Man is a sweet, fruity, and unapologetically synthetic crowd-pleaser that women apparently adore. Be warned though, the opening can be a bit 'much' for some, and longevity is often a complaint.

Statement

Our Verdict - Sì Fiori EDP

This discontinued gem is mourned by many, a creamy, sweet dream of a scent that leaves some clamouring for a comeback and others baffled by its hype.

Season and Occasion Fit

Desire for a Man

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its sweet and fruity character, combined with average projection and longevity, makes it a great choice for casual wear and dates. It's a bit too sweet and playful for formal events, and while not oppressive for the office, it's not its strongest suit.

Sì Fiori

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its soft sillage and feminine, creamy nature make it suitable for dates and casual wear, prompting many to cherish it for intimate moments. While some find it too sweet for intense heat, its balanced profile allows for versatility across most other settings, though its warmth leans away from sport.
