Wtbs, this thing lasted well over 10 hrs (3 sprays Back of neck, chest and shirt). both are mature fragrances but icon for me is slightly younger and playful. classic! I personally like Dunhill, it is one of my favorite designer brands. On my skin, it lasts the whole working day and more 8+ hours. For me there is nothing wrong with this frag. Smells refreshing in the opening and the smooth neroli is contrasted with the sharp pepper accord, which makes it interesting and makes anyone give it a second smell. Compliment getter. Back in 2015 I was just strolling around one of the malls of the UAE, when I came across this amazing bottle sitting on the shelves, after seeing the name on the cap Dunhill, I had my doubts, well was I treated to something amazing and original! It took me by surprise when I first got my nose on it with an explosion of green notes but as my brain started to process the layers I began to pick out the star of the show, that zesty citrus, along with pepper and some smooth lavender and woods.

I don't believe there is a better dollar or dollar value in a tobacco product. The pepper exudes a subtle but distinct masculine vibe, while the rest is a very classy mix of neroli and vetiver. The basic concept of bright, sweet oranges mixed with spicy, black pepper may not seem like it's all that revolutionary (and it isn't), but the execution of that concept in this recipe is what makes it so irresistable. @thiagomartini: What an ironic comment.

That's why the neroli is rather synthetic (though not screechy by any means), and at times the composition does smell quite close to grape soda and orange popsicles, especially in the initial and mid phases. After a few wears the "grape soda" impression of the opening turned into appreciation, and now it is an all-time favorite. How can two sides have such a different opinion on the same fragrance? The nose behind this fragrance is Carlos Benaim. One of the best releases by a designer house in 2015. (If Dunhill was an A+ this is a B+). I was shocked at how ordinary this smelled as I was expecting something magical to go with the bottle. In my opinion, this is similar to Terre D’Hermes but more complex with a less linear progression from top to base. The fragrance is named Icon, created by perfumer Carlos Benaim, who describes it: Having discovered this perfume in a European perfume store, i was initially reluctant to test this "novelty", because i was completely unfamiliar with Alfred Dunhill perfumes, and in particular the Icon range.

It was their generous 2ml sample bottle that got me hooked. Green deep soapy scent. Even though it is a light, fresh, summer/ spring scent it actually smells warm and handsome to me. very similar to Ferragamo's Acua Essenziale Colonia and Lalique's White, but, whereas Essenziale Colonia stays Neroli and citrus throughout and White has that woody pencil shaving undercurrent, this dries down spicy. Results will obviously vary. I use it when I am bored with others in my collection.

I can only assume that it has been reformulated - mine is a 2017 batch. Even though there isn't much mention of the oud note, I detect a decent amount of it. In short, I am admittedly a bit daft at this game. I think its unique. If you like soapy cologne's you'll enjoy this. Similar to Terre d'Hermes, but with less of an old man vibe. Stunning presentation. I like neroli, I like peppery scents, I like classic fougere-like masculine scents. ... and sometimes navy does. I have a new, medium dark floor and wanted a lighter rug on top. Definitely a fragrance that will be appreciated by Terre d'Hermes and Declaration groupies. For me it has a dry and airy aspect. It is indeed a “happy fragrance” and not bad at all. With That being said, It's grandpa's soap to me. It reminds me Terre D'Hermes Parfum, less creamy, but more sharp and cooler neroli-juniper-vetiver combo. Being a fragrance lover, I kind of felt sorry for myself. I'll admit when it was suggested to me to 'try the new Dunhill fragrance' I met it with the usual boredom associated with a Dunhill release. I didn’t particularly pick up on the oud, which surprised me a bit, but the base notes have depth and are quite aromatic, so that could be the oud working it’s magic I guess.

Fresh orange blossom with leather and spices, with more depth than the very linear Bright Neroli and just as classy as Neroli Portofino, yet more masculine. The gold dusted branches create a festive glittery look. Icon (barring the flood of flankers it has produced now) is an amazing modern take on english perfumery. Very elegant masculine and aromatic without going into territory of hardcore masculine fragrances like azzaro pour homme and likes . I absolutely love how Icon opens up with a burst of neroli and a delicious semi-sweet grape note. But the vetiver in this is just soo smooth. honestly,,,get this if your 30 and up etc....you'll see! Dries down to a nice clean silky leather with a hint of iris trailing (NOT THE LIPSTICK KIND). Clean gentlemanly without trying too hard and want to smell pleasant. I love it all the way from the stunning bottle, through first sniff all the way to the drydown. this is just a definition of a mature scent. A very strong statement from DUNHILL. I get petitgrain, lavender, cardamom and pepper through the heart which transitions to a dry woody base. I really liked it at first and wrote a good review... Now I don't know what happened. This scent is a mind blower from the presentation, to the sprayer to the scent. Couldn't be happier with this one.

A Nice Vintage Silver Plated Dunhill Patented Lighter Switzerland A/F #28106. On the drydown the grape soda scent starts to fade and you're left with a very clean and elegant smelling fragrance that screams a rich guy wearing a suit. With that said, Neroli is not a note that generally agrees with my skin chemistry. I may get some rosemary and sage as well in the mid. Then the pepper and vetiver come in making it very masculine, reminding me of my grandfather (not a bad thing, it just happens that pepper and bergamot were highlighted on his skin when he wore a fragrance). Dunhill Icon is really a nice warm weather fragrance. Mind you, I DO like/love "old" scents like Passion for Men, Drakkar Noir and Stetson (even the old formulation.)

It is less unique here but still interesting and identifiable. which is such a pity because the scent is amazing. Classy Office Fragrance, none can match it, full stop. Just look at the reviews from Youtube and here on Fragrantica, this kicks Dior Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel for 2nd & 3rd place on my list. It's a very lovely fragrance, but I can't quite decide if I care for the dry down. This is no Dunhill Flake (a tear gently forms in the corner of my eye for what has been lost) but a solid offering. This fragrance is something that I like more and more every time I smell it. I've been looking for an appropriate that would be both safe and appealing, after going through a lot of different samples and decants I have finally settled down for Icon edp from Dunhill. I got a sample at the department store, tried it on my husband and we both loved it. This is aromatic, spicy and dries down sweet. Dunhill Icon Eau de Parfum per uomo ... (. This thing is simply amazing for it's price as an everyday wear for work, yes it is not unique, but the neroli, spices and citruses smell amazing, the performance is good too, I'd say it's quite uplifting and makes me feel happier in a certain way. I'm so tempted to get a bottle just for the neroli, pepper, and oud combination. Definitely an interesting neroli-based fragrance. For all of the P&C Faithful who were concerned that Dunhill tobaccos had disappeared forever - good news! The oft-used sweet neroli/grape soda description of its opening is well deserved. A fresh, creamy fusion of bergamot and neroli. Fresh and clean. Dunhill Icon is a really good fragrance, but I would not say it is a love at first sniff. When I first smelled this fragrance, I didn't like it, I gave it a secound try and now I love it, it's my signature scent, smells fantastic. An overpriced step up from a Beckham style scent for the executive yuppie with too much money to burn. If you like a more mature fragrance, well blended and with quality ingredients, this is safe choice. I smell grape soda mixed with some herbs. It would have been more wearable and much better scent if the pepper would have been a little bit less, it is so prominent that anybody can feel its pepperiness. I give this one a 10 / 10!

What’s there not to like? I resisted trying Icon for a long time. Every since I tried the sample, I have been enamored with it. It is little bit soapy or detergent like. Absolutely delicious elegant clean... Really an Icon, I blind bough this and i honestly do not like it. It’s a great designer scent that holds my interest from top to drydown. It was too peppery and the neroli made this smell like a gramma like scent. Nose: what’s immediately obvious is that they stepped away from such a dominant sherry profile which was so often the case with the 12s. 2012 UPDATE: I keep returning to this tobacco once in a while, and it's always a solid choice! As a matter of fact, the scent reminds me of sun block and summer vibes. Superb!! 6.5/10. Might try again later sometime, but for now I will empty my Notino shopping bag ;). Great for warmer months and office. I have always love the unique smell of Icon especially the Neroli in it. My coworkers often ask what I have on when I wear this potion!

Fantastic fragrance. Skin tested this recently and found it to be a disappointing and rather bland department store fragrance - completely at odds with the frankly excessive bottle design and burgeoning hype in the community. Great for spring and summer; don't really see it working for fall and winter. Longevity and silage are average. I still get the grape soda vibe, and the powdery neroli vibe, duking it out.
