The fragrance is as quietly classic as you might imagine (lemon, sandalwood, tonka bean and moss), but I know you're mostly interested in what the bottle looks like: it's all streamlined contours as found on classic British sports cars. Not too surprising from a company which made its first pennies from automotive accessories. Dunhill, of course, has since moved well beyond the production of motoring goggles and has in recent years also left its country gentleman image behind as a mere dot in the rear mirror. While the fragrance doesn't promise an AXE-like knicker-dropping effect, it will lend you an air of urban suave. And if you're nervous to mess with the scent you've been wearing for years (please don't tell me Old Spice...), maybe it's time to see what a little urban suave can do for you. We have ten samples to give away. Write in by 3pm to enter the draw. |
