Dunhill Icon: What Changed in 2014
Icon was Dunhill's most commercially successful masculine launch in over a decade. Pink pepper and geranium in the opening are more contemporary than the brand's previous catalog. The cedarwood and incense dry-down references the brand's leather heritage without being literal about it. The result is a fragrance that works across settings, not just formal occasions, which expanded the Dunhill buyer profile considerably.
Dunhill Desire and the Classic Masculine Direction
Desire for men uses amber and patchouli over sandalwood and musk in a warm oriental structure. It is heavier and more occasion-specific than Icon. Dunhill Black is the lighter option, woods and aquatic notes for casual and warm-weather use. Dunhill London is the clean heritage masculine, bergamot and vetiver in a structure designed for formal settings.
