Alfred Dunhill Blend 30 for men - Opinios Reviews

Ahh, one of my top five for sure. This starts very boozy and green. And when I say green, the juice is actually green. The booze I suspect is rum and/or cognac. The more I sample this I think there is some cognac. I have some white cognac essential oil I play around with and I think its there, balanced nicely with citrus, sage and lavender. As the drydown begins, I find some really outstanding mossy sandalwood and cedar. Add some subtle amber, musk and tonka as it finishes and wow, what a journey. Top notch, a must try if the opportunity arises.

Edit: The booziness I originally detected has waned, though still there. This is one of the nicest drydowns I have ever experienced. Lots of creamy sandalwood.

I can understand the praise for this old drugstore classic; the simple fragrances of yesteryear have so much more poise and naturalness than today's chemical weapons byproducts.

However, I also concur with the detection of sulfurous notes. Gets a neutral from me because I recognize its quality, but also its faults -- the birch tar (an ingredient I unilaterally dislike) adds an unwelcome smoky "off" character.
