  1. anósmico

    Undoubtedly the best of all my perfumes: exquisite. It features a masterful leather accord that my nose detects as very tanned (though not listed on the card), with clearly present iris and violet notes that combine perfectly. Longevity is medium-long, but its weak point is the projection, which is a bit poor.

  3. It’s a blend of GG Absolute, Raghba Wood Intense, and CH Men Privé, featuring smoke, forests, woody vegetation, leather, some saffron, a medicinal and tamed oud, and perhaps a very faint animalic trail. It’s dry, ascetic, and strictly masculine. It doesn’t project much, but it’s noticeable on the middle of the arm. It’s elegant, dark, and mature. Ideal for cold days, dates, and projecting natural seriousness and authority at work; there, just three sprays are enough. Good work by Dunhill: the bottle is heavy and beautiful, and the liquid is dense and dark.
