About This Perfume
Alfred Dunhill Agar Wood comes across as smoky oud, suede leather, spicy powdery breath. It opens with Nepalese sichuan pepper, ginger and salt, moves into black iris, blue cypress and saffron blossom and settles on suede, musk and tobacco. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. It suits casual days. Released in 2020.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for casual days.
- Sample first if: leathery is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $53.
