Desire Blue
Dunhill · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2002
≈ $32 · 100ml · approx. retail
A breezy, aquatic-green take on the Desire line, pairing lychee and mandarin with marine 'sea notes' over a warm tonka-amber base. Positioned as the sportier, more casual sibling to the original Desire, it became a durable drugstore-and-department-store staple.
