Driven

Driven by Alfred Dunhill, composed by David Apel and released in 2021, is a sweet, spicy fragrance for men: its gourmand side leads, most people also notice spice, florals and citrus, and about a third pick up woods and amber.

Lime and bergamot give a sharp citrus start, joined by red apple for a crisp, juicy sweetness. Cardamom and cinnamon add warmth, while plum and rose bring a darker, fruity floral heart. As it dries down, vanilla gives a creamy sweetness, and cedar, amyris and amber form a smooth, softly woody base.

It is an easy, sociable scent for evenings out, dates and cooler weather, though the citrus opening keeps it bright enough for daytime. It suits someone who likes fruity, spicy men's fragrances with a soft vanilla finish rather than a sharp or purely fresh one.
