d
by Dunhill Fragrances
A very pleasant mandarin and fresh wood impression greets that is near-aquatic in character. A touch of rose is added in the drydown, but otherwise there is very
little development, apart from the fact that the scent appears increasingly thin and nondescript. Sometimes CK is mentioned in discussions about "d", and this drydown's blandness indeed reminds
me of some of the latter's more forgettable creations. Poor silage and projection after the first half hour are accompanied by a longevity of about two hours overall.
The beginning is rather pleasant, but after the initial phase this is a bit of a disappointment, given the high quality of previously released dunhill fragrances -
"d" was launched 1996. Good for a splash after the gym or another activity, so that one can put on a more memorable fragrance after a short while. That is how I have been using it
over the last decades.
3/5 -> especially the first part.
