Dunhill Black ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 7 November 2008 7 Comments

Dunhill Black cologne for men

Coming later this month from Dunhill will be Dunhill Black, the brand's latest fragrance for men. Dunhill Black will be fronted by actor Henry Cavill, as was their recent Dunhill London fragrance.

The fragrance notes feature green nettle accord, transparent jasmine, lavender, suede accord, gaiac wood and cedar. According to a brand spokesman...

Nettles have the potential to sting if they aren’t approached with care. Suede, on the other hand, is yielding and tactile. The result is modern seduction.

Dunhill Black will be available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette, and is expected to launch at Harrods later in the month. (via cosmeticsinternational)

    Hmm. This sounds quite interesting to me! “London” was pleasant, but ultimately unremarkable. I'll definitely give this one a whiff though!

    The only time I've been in a position to smell them I have been recoiling in agony from the barbs (accidentally picking them with weeds in the yard sans gloves). They are just a tender green leaf and I can't imagine them smelling much different than a typical tender green leaf.

    Oh, well that's a let down then! But glad I've never run into them in my yard.

    I'm reminded of the anecdote about Dorothy Parker, who'd spent the duration of a dinner party being chatted up by the boorish man seated beside her. Eventually, in frustration, she turned to him and said, “young man, with the crown of thorns I'm already wearing, who needs a prick like you.”

    So much for “modern seduction.”
