Alfred Dunhill 51.3 N is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009. 51.3 N opens with Rhubarb and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Virginia Cedarwood, Lavender, Pepper, and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vanilla. Alfred Dunhill's 51.3 N carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This Dunhill gem is a divisive one. You'll either adore its unique rhubarb-infused warmth, or find it a cheap, synthetic miss. Performance is generally moderate, so don't expect it to shout, but it offers a refined, slightly unconventional take on masculine elegance at a bargain price.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

51.3 N opens with a vibrant, tart burst of rhubarb and grapefruit, quickly settling into a peppery, aromatic heart of Virginia cedar and lavender. The drydown reveals a comforting, woody vanilla, balanced by the enduring spice and a creamy sandalwood base. It's a complex dance of sweet, sour, and spicy, creating an inviting aura.
