Desire for a Man

Desire for a Man by Alfred Dunhill, composed by Michel Almairac in 2000, is a fruity, woody scent with a sweet vanilla finish. People describe it as citrus, floral, woody and gourmand in equal measure, with musk noted by about half.

It opens bright and juicy: lemon and bergamot give a clean zest, apple a crisp, sweet bite, and orange blossom a light floral sheen. The heart darkens with patchouli and teak wood, an earthy, dry combination that gives the scent its backbone, while rose keeps a soft floral thread running through. Over time it settles on vanilla and musk, a smooth, slightly creamy base that leaves a gentle sweetness on the skin.

Most wearers find its longevity moderate, and around a third say it lasts longer; the trail is mainly moderate. Wearers lean towards autumn and spring, and it is split evenly between day and night, so it adapts to work, casual outings and relaxed evenings in the cooler, milder months.
