Alfred Dunhill Century is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Carlos Benaïm. Century opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Neroli, Cardamom, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Musk, and Sandalwood. Alfred Dunhill's Century carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Dunhill Century is the definition of an underrated gem. It's a clean, sophisticated citrus-woody fragrance that consistently garners compliments, making it a surprise crowd-pleaser for those in the know. Don't fall for the 'fabric softener' comparisons - this is far more refined than that.

About

Century opens with a bright blast of bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin, quickly ushering in a fresh, almost soapy neroli. This luminous beginning is underscored by a soft, warm cardamom and hints of frankincense. As it settles, a clean, creamy sandalwood emerges, intertwined with earthy cypriol oil and a subtle, lingering musk, creating an effortlessly elegant, woody foundation.
