Alfred Dunhill D is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1996, created by Gérard Anthony. D opens with Lemon, Mandarin, Cypress, and Rosewood, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Lavender, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Alfred Dunhill's D carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Dunhill D is a largely forgotten 90s gem, loved by those who know it, but its reformulated versions are a pale imitation of the original's smooth, floral, and subtly masculine charm. Don't expect a beast, but do expect quiet class.

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its clean, fresh, and slightly floral profile, make it ideal for office wear and casual settings where it won't overpower. It's less suited for formal events or sports where more projection or a different character is usually desired.

About

Dunhill D opens with a crisp, bright burst of lemon and mandarin, underscored by a subtle hint of cypress and a fresh, peppery mint. As it settles, a sophisticated floral heart emerges, with prominent rose and lavender softened by jasmine and lily of the valley. The dry down reveals a warm, creamy base of sandalwood and cedarwood, interwoven with a clean musk and a touch of vanilla and amber, leaving a refined and comforting trail.
