Alfred Dunhill Agar Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Gino Percontino. Agar Wood opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Ginger, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Cypress, Iris, and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Suede. Alfred Dunhill's Agar Wood carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

This is a seriously slick, sophisticated leather offering from Dunhill. It's an absolute steal given its quality, delivering a smooth, dark, and utterly masculine scent that punches well above its price point. Skip it if you're not into intense leather, though.

Its rich, dark, and intense leather character, with decent projection, means it might be a bit much for a conservative office setting. However, its elegance and smooth delivery make it perfect for dates and evening formal events, especially in cooler weather. It's too heavy for sport.

About

Agar Wood opens with a vibrant, spicy spark of saffron and ginger, tempered by zesty bergamot and a hint of pink pepper. This quickly mellows into a powdery heart of iris and violet leaf, offering an unexpected softness before the base truly takes hold. The dry down is where the magic happens: a deep, rich suede accord dominates, with whispers of smoky tobacco and an elegant, non-barnyard oud weaving through, creating a complex and dark olfactory tapestry.
