Dunhill, British-based company, specializing in men's luxury leather goods, writing implements, lighters, timepieces, fragrances and clothing. The business was developed by Alfred Dunhill after he inherited his father's saddlery business on London's Euston Road. Dunhill, responding to the growing demand for automobiles, developed a line of accessories called "Dunhill's Motorities". This first collection included car horns and lamps, leather overcoats, goggles, picnic sets and timepieces. Dunhill pitched the company under the slogan “Everything For The Car But The Motor”. In 1967 Carreras acquired a 51% stake in the company. The company is currently owned by Richemont. Currently, Jude Law is the apparel ambassador for Dunhill adverts in Asia. He is to be the international face of the brand and appear in the worldwide Spring/Summer 2008 advertising campaign, apart from commercials in North America. He has represented the company in Asia since 2005. All fragrances sold under the Dunhill brand name are manufactured and marketed through a licensing agreement by Procter and Gamble Prestige Products division. P&G gained the license as part of their 1995 acquisition of the Wella Corporation.
