About This Perfume
Think Smoky saffron and leather, with bright citrus: that is Alfred Dunhill Desire Extreme. It opens with saffron, blood orange and bergamot, moves into clary sage and cypress and settles on amber, leather and patchouli. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits casual days. Released in 2017.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $32.
