by Alfred Dunhill
British Leather by Alfred Dunhill delivers a refined, masculine leather experience with a clean, aromatic freshness. The opening features bright citrus and spicy cardamom, creating a crisp, green character that feels both polished and purposeful. Lavender and mate add herbal depth, while the leather note emerges steadfastly mid-way, merging with woody notes like cypress and vetiver, giving it a velvety, almost shower-proof quality. The dry-down reveals a smooth, smoky, herbal base with a subtle medicinal bitterness, once described as 'chest hair-raising,' evoking a strong sense of character and rugged elegance. It's not overtly sweet or seductive, leaning instead toward a mature, confident persona—like a well-dressed, seasoned hunter or barbershop expert. The scent performs moderately with good initial projection and a lasting, evolving trail, though longevity is not exceptional.
