The centre armrest houses the Smoker’s Edition Ebony Macassar Humidor and other unique offerings include the Dunhill lighter, cigar cutter and pen. Even for the ardent non-smoker, this fine craftsmanship is surely something to be appreciated. On sale here is a very special edition of the DB7, the result of a collaboration between two English companies – namely Aston Martin and Alfred Dunhill. The result is a very rare luxury motor car uniquely equipped with a range of exclusive men’s accessories. In short, a sort of Raiders-style buying guide that people with vintage bottles older than mine can also add to for sake of completion. Also included are invoices from specialist car storage and transportation company Konig, who cared for the DB7 for many years. The driving position is first rate, the leather steering wheel a delight to hold and falling easily to hand is the gear lever for the five-speed manual gearbox – a proper keen driver’s car.

The DB7 is finished in Platinum Silver, a classic colour and one which shows off the graceful lines to good effect. And if you will pardon the indulgence, let us quote the PR blurb once more: Somehow this Dunhill edition is different than you would expect. At least I feel that way. I also admit that I am reaching my limits when it comes to the classification of the ingredients. these terms and conditions in full. If you disagree with any part of these terms and conditions, do Everything above has either become too expensive or restricted, particularly sandalwood for the former, and everything save maybe cedarwood for the latter. Whatever they have replacing the original materials completely shifts the balance of the scent now. The car’s exterior paintwork matches exactly the colour of the polished steel of the Millennium watch and the wheel centres echo the fluid shape of the new timepiece. The boot, door handles and gear lever are etched with the distinctive tri-line feature from the AD 2000 watch collection.”The problem with original Edition as composed, is it was a dry English cologne-style a la Wellington or Blenheim, amped up with big doses of citrus oils, nutmeg, clove, cedarwood, sandalwood, and oakmoss for that "80's oomph". My rule of thumb is straw-colored juice, dots above the "I", and 3 ingredient is the "good stuff", either Scannon or Alfred Dunhill. The current Basenotes directory picture is of the vintage shower gel, so there are no bottles that look quite as it does. I won't say modern is objectively bad, but the focus has shifted to the white florals and spices at the core of lavender/geranium in the heart. Cedar I still get, and some call modern a "nutmeg bomb" like Cacharel or Bijan, which is also fair. Invoices abound, mostly with Aston Martin dealerships in the UK and Geneva. We can see a new battery was fitted in 2017 and clutch master cylinder in 2019. Extensive and regular servicing has been carried out, so brush up on your French and have a read of what has been done recently.

The citrusy opening is actually only marginally perceived, but the floral notes of the second row, such as cyclamen, carnation and some rose geranium and lavender, come through more strongly. But it is above all mace that dominates here.

But vintage was all about the woodiness, with the spices and oakmoss really rounding out the woods, making them almost creamy. Modern is sharp, bright, and thin by comparison. Very stark contrast. There are a few minor flaws that we feel it is our duty to point out, none of which spoil the overall effect. Most noticeable is the rear bumper, which has a few lumps and bumps, and you will find the odd scratch here and there, such as the one on the bonnet (picture 139). There is also a ding in the offside rear wing (picture 79). I know what information I provide will NOT be exhaustive, and people will stump me with new findings like they did on my Quorum thread, forcing me to research answers for them; but at least since there are SIGNIFICANT differences between current and vintage Dunhill Edition (1984), I want to help "steer the ship" of people looking for the former.
