Alfred Dunhill Driven is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by David Apel. Driven opens with Red Apple, Bergamot, Lime, and Plum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Amyris, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Alfred Dunhill's Driven carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

If you're a fan of Boss Bottled and want something similar but arguably more refined for an absolute steal, Dunhill Driven is your pick. It's a mass-appealing apple-spiced winner, despite some whingeing about its synthetic start.

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

Driven kicks off with a juicy burst of red apple and plum, brightened by bergamot and lime, before settling into a warm, spiced heart of cardamom and cinnamon, balanced by delicate rose and jasmine. The base offers a comforting blend of vanilla, amber, musk, and cedar, creating a smooth and sophisticated dry down that's both inviting and modern.
