Driven Eau de Toilette
by Alfred Dunhill
Driven Eau de Toilette opens with a crisp, slightly synthetic citrus and green apple burst, quickly joined by black pepper and a faintly spearmint-like freshness from clary sage. The core aroma balances aromatic herbs, light woody notes (teakwood, vetiver), and a subtle amber base, giving it a clean, mildly sweet, and slightly woody character. It evokes associations with Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Tonic and Mont Blanc Legend—fresh but not particularly complex, with a light and airy sillage that lingers moderately. The scent is consistent and pleasant on the skin, capable of lasting about six hours, somewhat shorter than expected for an EDT. It's especially suited for day wear in warmer weather.
