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.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Dunhill Desire - a floral fragrance led by Apple, Neroli, with fruity depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit
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
Reach for it across spring and summer, where the floral signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.
Occasions
This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
