Century

Dunhill · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2018

≈ $48 · 100ml · approx. retail

Launched to mark Dunhill's 125th anniversary (referencing the brand's 'century' of heritage), this sandalwood-and-cardamom composition layers whispers of neroli and incense-like olibanum over a clean, refined woody base. Reviewers were split — some praised its sophisticated dry sandalwood, others found it soapy — but it remains one of the house's more distinctive 2010s releases.
