Dunhill Black

Alfred Dunhill Dunhill Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Dunhill Black opens with Nettle, settles into a heart of Lavender and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Suede, Guaiac Wood, and Cedar. Alfred Dunhill's Dunhill Black carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Dunhill Black is a divisive green scent, lauded for its unique nettle note, but criticised for poor performance. Some find it a fresh, versatile daily wear, while others can't stand its herbal bite or synthetic feel. Definitely not a blind buy.

Its fresh, green, and subtle nature with weak projection makes it ideal for office wear and casual settings, where it won't overpower. The lack of strong sillage and longevity, however, diminishes its impact for dates (unless oversprayed) and formal events.

About

Dunhill Black opens with a strikingly unusual nettle blast - green, slightly bitter, and fresh, leading some to experience a grapefruit or rhubarb-like tartness. This transitions into a heart of clean lavender and subtle jasmine, before settling into a warm, inviting base of soft suede, guaiac wood, and cedar. It's a clean, green aroma that defies its 'Black' moniker, offering a fresh take on woody aromatics.
