The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Released in 2018, a year when crisp citrus and modern woody fougères were prominent, Alfred Dunhill Century by Carlos Benaïm is a men's fragrance that opens bright with mandarin, grapefruit and bergamot before shifting to a heart of neroli, olibanum and cardamom and settling on a dry, smoky base of cypriol (nagarmotha), sandalwood and musk. The scent is read as citrus-forward with strong woody and warm spicy facets, plus fresh spicy and earthy touches. It holds a 3.94/5 from 916 voters and divides opinion: about 40% of voters mark it as a favorite while roughly 16% dislike or hate it.
Our take
I like the lively citrus intro and the resinous, slightly soapy neroli/olibanum heart; performance trends toward moderate longevity and moderate sillage on me, so I reach for it in spring daytime. It isn't for everyone, some find it synthetic or odd, but I enjoy the citrus-to-wood thread enough to wear it when I want something bright and woody.

The Bottle
Alfred Dunhill Century has a bottle that avoids the usual flat rectangle. Its squat, broadly rectangular body and wide base are familiar, but the large circular front feature, curved clear detailing, and broad glossy black domed cap give it a composed, somewhat distinctive look. The bright horizontal band adds contrast, while the unmarked front keeps it restrained.
Original or Clone
The strongest reason to buy Alfred Dunhill Century itself is its credited perfumer, Carlos Benaïm. That authorship gives the release a clear point of origin that an interpretation cannot carry over simply by pursuing its citrus, woody and warm-spicy character. The bottle adds a modest visual argument through its circular front feature and domed cap. With only one interpretation from one house tracked, the case favours the original, while the alternative remains a reasonable choice.
