Desire for a Man

by Michel Almairac

Alfred Dunhill Desire for a Man is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Michel Almairac. The fragrance opens with Apple, Orange Blossom, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Rose, Teak, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Desire for a Man: Statement

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

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.

About

Opens with a juicy, candied apple and zesty citrus burst, tempered by a soft touch of orange blossom. As it settles, a sweet, powdery rose, with a hint of warm teak, emerges. Finally, it dries down to a comforting, slightly musky vanilla embrace, leaving a trail of inviting sweetness that's surprisingly modern for its age.
