Tobacco was to Dunhill what leather was to Hermès; cigarettes and lighters were a mainstay of the brand. (And, by coincidence, Alfred Dunhill was the son of a riding tack manufacturer.)
So it’s no surprise to find an approximation of baccy...

Weil de Weil has been discontinued, and there are two reasons for that. One of them is bad luck, the other is by design.
It was released in 1971, a year when three outstanding perfumes also appeared on the stands: No19, Rive Gauche and Aromatics Elixir....

Driftwood - Perfumer H - 9 days ago
A bitter-woody and powdery-sweet aroma-doodle, not a perfume in the classic sense.
The kind of thing you’d expect from Demeter.

Herbes Troublantes - Guerlain - 19 days ago
Metallic watery citrus and a stale Eau de Cologne.
It’s not very herbal, and troubling
only because it’s so poor.
Like a Chrome flanker.

Force Majeure - Jacques Bogart - 29 days ago
A smooth-synthetic masculine, this harsh ozone and green woody musk has a saving grace; it’s dirt cheap, and it smells a bit like Good Life
Molto Smalto (Eau de Toilette) - Francesco Smalto - 1 month ago
While Cool Water and Eternity fM are still around
there’s no reason to go for this screechy clone

A fougère smoking a bidi outside a hospital clinic.
Carolina Herrera (1988) (Eau de Parfum) - Carolina Herrera - 2 months ago
An orange flower & tuberose bouquet, pretty standard for the 80’s – apart from the syrup – which has a cool glycerine lightness.

Shalimar with a nod to Bulgari Black and a dollop of blancmange.
L'Insolent (Eau de Parfum) - Charles Jourdan - 3 months ago
A hollow shell of fruchouli, screechy and dusty; like a blackcurrant gummy you find down the back of the sofa.

Difficult Muguet
In France, the first of May is a national holiday and people mark the start of summer by giving sprigs of Lily of the Valley, which are said to bring luck for the year ahead.

Protean Patchouli
If you think about patchouli perfume, what do you think of?
Angel? with her chocolate patchouli, red fruits and candy floss?
A classic patchouli / amber like Reminiscence?
How about Eau Sauvage?
There are many styles that use patchouli and they come in all shades and textures - from deep and dark to light and pale.

Cher Jardinier,
C'est avec de plus en plus de plaisir que je vous lis et vous êtes devenu quelqu'un dont l'avis compte pour moi.
Je me retrouve souvent dans vos enthousiasmes (Fille en Aiguilles !) comme dans vos éreintements (Sauvage !), et l'humour folâtre dont vous parsemez vos phrases contribue à leur attrait.
Chapeau pour votre anglais, j'aimerais avoir le même !
