51.3 N, from Alfred Dunhill was released in 2009. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Grapefruit and Rhubarb, middle notes of Cedarwood, Lavender, Pepper, and Pink Pepper, and base notes of Sandalwood and Vanilla.
I actually really love this fragrance. I blind bought it from a discount bargain bin because I can pretty much always trust that a Dunhill is going to be at least passable. Sure on a casual sampling basis you could think this is fairly nondescript and not exactly trailblazing but 51.3N is a fragrance you need to wear and live with to truly appreciate. For example it took about three tries for the Rhubarb note in the opening to become fully apparent and now I smell it every time. The drydown is really lovely though it's a slightly honeyed, warm vanilla and sandalwood. The quality is respectable for a cheaper designer scent, the bottle is heavy and classy looking and the performance is not great but okay when heavily applied. I can't say any fairer than that, Dunhill have created a fine oriental fragrance here and a proud addition to my wardrobe.
