Question:
Before I retire once again to the groves of academe (make that salt mines), I need to pop this question. The discontinued original Dunhill for Men Eau de Cologne (1934) appears impossible to find. Anybody know a source preferably in Europe?
Thanks

The discontinued original Dunhill for Men Eau de Cologne (1934) appears impossible to find. Anybody know a source preferably in Europe? Curiously, it is looking for this that's brought me to this fascinating site. I have the remains of the very first bottle I bought at Harrods in 1980 that I've kept as a souvenir, it has a black paper label round the base rather than the screen printed one. The few mls left have become darker and there are some strange blobs of a black oil floating around the bottom. Still smells nice though!.
I've bought a number of bottles since, now down to the last half of a bottle I bought 2 years ago. And tragically I too can't find any more... There was a bottle on Ebay last week which I bought, but what has appeared in the mail is Dunhill Edition and not the one pictured in the auction, so it's going to have to go back.

Answer:
Welcome to basenotes. Too bad your tidings concerning Dunhill do not sound very encouraging. Well, if you stick around you may soon find yourself to be the owner of a hundred or more fragrances other than that one. This site triggers uncanny consumer dynamics in some people - like myself

Answer:
There is a store near me that has bottles for $75 I think. The owner knows me well so he was nice enough to open a box so I could try it. Great stuff! I like it much better than Edition. I wanted to check the availability and pricing before I bought it but right now $75 looks like a good price so I might go back and get it.

Answer:
hello. i would like to put down the websites that do sell it, but I cannot write down the addresses. I will write down the names, however;
1stperfume - apparently one or two people here on basenotes have had negative experiences with this site, but i've ordered three bottles from them with no problem at all.
Nellbutler - shows the picture of the 2003 dunhill, but the description appears to be of the old one (rustic orange box, edc, 3.4oz).
There is another site that has a picture of the old dunhill and it says 'edc', but the notes it lists are not, i think, those of old dunhill. i will not give you the name of that. good luck.

Answer:
Thanks for your comments, the sites mentioned do look as though they have the right stuff.
I've already ploughed into the Creed world, still looking for the one for me...
