Dunhill Desire Blue Eau de Toilette is a clean aquatic aromatic that opens with juicy lychee and sparkling mandarin over airy lotus and bright bergamot, then glides into a breezy sea notes accord touched by sweet orange and polished rosewood. It settles into a smooth base of tonka, soft musk, warm amber, and resinous benzoin, creating an easygoing yet distinctive blue signature for daily wear.

Story and Positioning
A cornerstone of the Dunhill Desire collection, Desire Blue leans into a breezy marine style lifted by a fruity floral sparkle from lychee and lotus. It reads crisp, relaxed, and quietly confident, making it a natural choice for office hours, warm weather, and casual outings. If you enjoy fresh aquatic profiles in the vein of everyday blue classics, this gives you that polished clarity with a softer, more laid-back character.
Bottle and Design
The bottle uses Dunhill’s signature flask silhouette rendered in clear blue glass with bright metallic hardware and a satisfyingly weighty cap. The compact form feels sturdy and travel-friendly while the cool blue color telegraphs the refreshing character inside.
