Launched: 2015 by Dunhill.
Desire Silver is the fourth fragrance from the Dunhill Desire collection. Expertly crafted by Carlos Benaim under the creative direction of John Ray, it evokes a powerfully energetic and undeniably masculine scent. Drawing on a variety of rare and contemporary ingredients it encapsulates a type of freshness and relentless energy in consonance with the Dunhill man with an aura fitted to the wit and charm of the British gentleman.
The Man
The height of masculine elegance, the Dunhill man embodies the best of British luxury whether travelling the world or in repose at home. His style is one etched in the pillars of Britain’s tailoring traditions with a notable quirk that identifies him as a Dunhill man. Combined with his fragrance, he radiates a British charisma, iconic, in name and calibre.
The Fragrance
Starting with the uplifting and refreshing top notes of the Liquid Oxygen Accord, an invigorating breath of air is unleashed laying the path for a generous dose of crisp Bergamot and zesty Volcanic Mandarin. The heart gives way to a contrast between the intensely green Cardamom LMR and Violet leaf with the Lush Watery Accord giving the scent a sleek woody base. The scent trails with a refined harmony of White Birchwood Accord, Vetiver Oil Haiti and Amber Luxe to create a finale of genuine refinement.

Desire Silver marks Carlos Benaim’s return to the foray of Dunhill scents. Following the tremendous success of Dunhill ICON, Benaim’s vision for Desire Silver was “to look at masculine sensuality in a new way, translating it through a contemporary fresh facet”, something that has certainly been achieved through a masterful new fragrance.
