Which Should You Buy?
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.
Compiled from retailer sources: bergamot, lemon and black currant open into a rose-jasmine-patchouli heart, resting on vanilla, cedarwood and musk - a rich, velvety unisex composition true to its French name ('velvet').

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The soft vanilla-cedarwood-musk base gives it a velvety warmth best suited to cooler months.
Occasions
A soft, versatile fruity-floral-woody suited to everyday office wear, casual outings and daytime dates.
