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.
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; it’s largely inoffensive and pleasant, but lacks the distinctive Montale punch. If you're after something unique, keep looking, but for a pretty, everyday scent, it does the trick.

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

Occasions
Its inoffensive and clean profile makes it suitable for office wear, while its easy-going nature perfectly fits casual settings. The perceived short longevity and subtle sillage, however, mean it won't stand out for formal events or make a big statement on dates.
