There are fragrances that awaken the senses — and Scarlet Ember is among them. This remarkable homage to the legendary Dunhill Desire Red, crafted by Vortelle Parfums, revitalizes the passionate essence of a fragrance that became iconic at the dawn of the millennium.

 Originally launched in 2000 by the British brand Alfred Dunhill, Desire Red represented youthful confidence, fervor, and sophisticated masculinity. It swiftly garnered international acclaim, particularly in South Asia and the Middle East, establishing itself as a preferred fragrance for numerous men in their prime.

Vortelle’s Scarlet Ember encapsulates the same vibrant energy — presented in a refined extrait formulation, reinterpreted for the contemporary man who desires his fragrance to convey boldness while maintaining elegance. This scent is designed for those who are driven by ambition, who carry themselves with authority, and who leave an enduring impression long after they have departed.
