Dunhill Black
Dunhill (2008)

A very synthetic, green blue-grey (not black), woody-amber aromatic.

It could serve as a garage air freshener to hide the smell of oily rag, but quite honestly I'd rather smell the oily rag.

Fresh and green and then confusing (black ?? nah..!). Give it a try though, not a bad fragrance for sure.

A sweet woody scent. I love this and it's strangely addictive.

Bought a 100ml blindly 'cause it was cheap and I usually like Dunhill's scents. Ugh, forgettable...close to that Zirh cologne years ago. Bland, boring. The highlight is the box. :O Believe me!

A really bland and sharp woody-violet fragrance mostly built on musky notes, synthetic cedar, something slightly fruity reminding me of blackcurrant, a subtle minty head accord and not much else. Nothing “black” for sure, the mood is rather bright and cold. Tons of other similar designers come to mind, but while most of them at least try to smell different, Black instead feels so lazily generic it almost smells like an archetype of woody-violet fragrances. The strong feel of harsh synthetic cheapness doesn't really help – adding the “unpleasant” to the “boring” factor.

5/10

A yet tested soup (ozonic molecules, aromatic lavender, angular jasmine, vetiver and hyper dry cedarwood), namely something irony, crispy, somber, artificial and aquatic. Dunhill Black ideally sounds like a sort of mash up of Chanel Bleu, Obsession Night and Tonino Lamborghini Forza. Decently appointed but boring. Forgettable.
