In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotCentury Blue by Alfred Dunhill is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. Century Blue was launched in 2019. Top notes are Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Black Pepper; middle notes are Iris, Ginger, Neroli and Styrax; base notes are Ambroxan, Sea Salt, oak moss and Patchouli.
Reviews →Solvento opens with sharp lemon leaf and coarse sea salt that cut through humid July air. As the top notes settle, quiet white tea and earthy sage emerge over a dry base of driftwood and ambroxan. It stays airy on skin, making it an easy pick for casual daytime errands and warm office settings.
