Carlos Benaïm

"Century Eau de Parfum by Alfred Dunhill is a men's designer fragrance launched in 2018 and created by Carlos Benaïm. Its structure opens with bright citrus before moving into a lightly spicy, neroli-tinged heart and a woody-musky base centered on sandalwood and cypriol. Reviews and editorial coverage consistently describe it as transparent, polished, and somewhat unconventional, with a clean yet slightly abstract masculine profile. The scent is often characterized as a fresh sandalwood composition rather than a loud blue-style fragrance. Community feedback suggests the opening can feel sharp, bitter, or rubbery to some wearers due to the cypriol nuance, while others find the drydown elegant and sophisticated. Its distinctive heavy glass bottle and refined styling helped it stand out within Dunhill's modern fragrance releases."

Fun Facts

Century was composed by noted perfumer Carlos Benaïm, who is also credited with other major modern masculine fragrances.

The bottle design is especially notable for its thick sculptural glass and curved black cap, frequently praised almost as much as the scent itself.

Reviews Summary

“Century Eau de Parfum is generally seen as a distinctive, refined designer release with a bright citrus opening and a dry woody-musky heart built around sandalwood and cypriol. Positive reviews praise its elegant, 'white shirt' cleanliness, artistic character, and versatile smart-casual feel. More critical users report a challenging opening that can smell bitter, medicinal, rubbery, or overly dominated by cypriol, and some also find performance inconsistent. Overall sentiment is favorable but clearly polarized, with the drydown receiving more praise than the opening.”
