D

D by Alfred Dunhill is a clean, fresh, and well-balanced cologne with a woody-aromatic base and citrusy-green opening. It opens with bright notes of mandarin orange, lemon, and mint, blended with palisander rosewood and green herbal accents. These evolve into a soft floral heart with jasmine, lavender, and freesia, which becomes subtly sweetened by tonka bean and vanilla before settling on a dry, musky, and woody base of sandalwood, cedar, and oak moss. The fragrance is lightweight, quiet, and sits close to the skin, with moderate longevity and sillage—perfect for daytime wear in spring and summer. It feels precise and restrained, avoiding any over-sweetness or heaviness, making it suitable for office environments and mature men. Despite its simplicity, it has a quiet elegance that many appreciate, reminiscent of classic or vintage men's fragrances, especially as a refined take on the CK One aesthetic.
