About This Perfume
Alfred Dunhill Century smells like fresh citrus and neroli with cool woods. It opens with mandarin orange, grapefruit and bergamot, moves into neroli, olibanum and cardamom and settles on cypriol oil or nagarmotha, sandalwood and musk. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2018.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: fresh is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $90.
