Alfred Dunhill Dunhill Edition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1984, created by Alain Astori. Dunhill Edition opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Jasmine, Geranium, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Alfred Dunhill's Dunhill Edition carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This 80s fougère was once a timeless classic, evoking sophisticated masculinity, but sadly, its modern iterations are watered down. The original was a masterpiece; current versions are a pale imitation, leaving many yearning for its former glory.

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 projection and clean, classic profile make it highly suitable for the office or casual wear, avoiding overt intrusiveness. However, the reported weakness of modern formulations means it might struggle to make an impact in louder, more formal settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Dunhill Edition opens with a vibrant, spicy hit of nutmeg and bergamot, cut with fresh lavender. It then flows into a green, earthy heart of lily of the valley and clary sage, underpinned by a resinous fir and vetiver base. Hints of oakmoss and amber lend it a classic, woody depth, culminating in a dry, aromatic finish.
