Alfred Dunhill Dunhill Fresh is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005, created by Maurice Roucel. Dunhill Fresh opens with Green Notes, Lavender, Freesia, and Sage, settles into a heart of Iris, Violet, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Alfred Dunhill's Dunhill Fresh carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you, this ain't your average 'freshie'. It's a green, woody beast with a polarising violet-petrol edge often compared to Dior's Fahrenheit, and divisive performance. Some find it a timeless, affordable gem, others are left wanting.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its clean, green, and often subtle projection makes it suitable for office and casual wear, especially in warmer weather. While some find it too green for formal settings, its invigorating nature is great for sport. Longevity issues for many push it more towards casual, re-spray friendly scenarios.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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 Fresh bursts open with a vibrant, herbaceous blend of mint, basil, and green notes, immediately invoking a lush, verdant landscape. This initial freshness quickly deepens into a floral heart of violet and iris, underpinned by a distinctive woody accord. The drydown settles into a rich, earthy base of vetiver, amber, and patchouli, with an unmistakable powdery coumarin warmth that gives it a masculine depth.
