Yes I blind buy this due to its hype and i never regret it at all. This means, like Terre de Hermes, it will appeal to less people and is not crowd pleasing. If this lasted longer, it would easily be an A+ for me, based on scent alone. I found it very unique but strange scent. It's very masculine (because of the pepper) yet fresh, smooth, classy. I think it smells more expensive than the pricetag shows and better than some of the more expensive scents i have. Perhaps good for people in college or at their first job, if they buy it at a discount. My girlfriend thought it smelled like grape cough syrup... That being said, I do enjoy its freshness and spiciness, although the pepperiness almost comes off curry like. Top notes are Neroli, Bergamot, Black Pepper and Petitgrain; middle notes are Black Pepper, Lavender, Cardamom, Juniper Berries and Sage; base notes are Vetiver, Oakmoss, Agarwood (Oud), iris and Leather. It's a very versatile fragrance even though it's great around spring and summer.Yes it is true, Icon has some reminiscence of Terre D'Hermes because of pepper but to me it's much more better and sophisticated. The blends are back using the same exact blends and tobaccos, coming from the same factory. 9/10. The flask is quite unforgetable as the juice in there. This deserves all the praise. The first vibe of smell almost knock me off my feet, so sophisticated and elegant. This is a perfume that is as well blended as it is packaged. I was shocked at how ordinary this smelled as I was expecting something magical to go with the bottle. Minute markers around the outer rim. Dunhill's Icon fragrance is sublimely beautiful. I personally like Dunhill, it is one of my favorite designer brands. After owning for months I have concluded it's Not a bad scent in any way, but not exceptional either. (Ordered this online, blind buy based on reviews). YSL M7 Absolu La Collection - Definitely has that YSL characteristic of quality, refinement, and a certain slickness/sophistication. Wow, so different & addictive. Upon first spray, I was not blown away. Longevity and silage are average. Best of all, no assembly is required. I gave it to my grandad awhile back just because he wanted something new and when I went over his house recently I smelled again and I realized I had to have this again. this is just a definition of a mature scent. I sincerely don't recomend buying it by the fact that it does not last more than short 4 hours. I love it all the way from the stunning bottle, through first sniff all the way to the drydown. However i must mention the performance on current bottle i have ,is poor . Light airy pleasant neroli smell. WOW - AS ALWAYS! I just happen to smell some of it on myself. I find it to be very much a "cologne" type scent along the lines of 4711 and acua di parma. This scent is so unique. Nuff said. This is a stunning fragrance, a Masterpiece. That's the positive! For all of the P&C Faithful who were concerned that Dunhill tobaccos had disappeared forever - good news! I try not to use this juice just not to finish the flask! That’s an absolute steal for this. That was five hours ago and it's still going strong. The bottle is a work of art. Not a lot of sillage, becomes a skin scent very quickly, and that's okay. Best Dunhill frangrance by far!It reminds me of Terre D´hermmes. 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. The black pepper takes a brief moment, but it joins the opening notes with its piquant, earthy, and spicy notes, which enhance and boost the opening. Think of a refined englishman sitting in the seat of a restored 1970s Mercedes sedan on an overcast winter evening. It’s another in the endless and unimaginative scents that belong to the ‘citrus overload with floral and wood notes base notes’ brigade. I'll try my best. icon is a a good surprise from the modern era of fragrance, it beats many others in terms of smelling and price-quality ratio. This is a great fragrance with a conservative price! This for me is bottle worthy. Icon has a nice fresh opening, I like it a lot. This fragrance can be warm in any season and is extremely versatile. It has a good longevity, this is an eau de parfum, not toilette. 6.5/10. I smell the grape soda for only about 2-3 minutes. The opening to dry down is absolutely lovely. This sweet, fresh accord gives way to a spicy cardamon/pepper/lavender mid. I love the bottle, very heavy, very elegant. Overall, Icon is just okay for me. The bottle was enough to raise the interest, it is glorious, heavy, stylish and one you'd want on display. ... and sometimes navy does. I can smell the petitgrain, neroli and pepper at first, somewhat like a fanta grape soda, not fruitier but a blend of florals, spice and fruits. While it's hard to detect the leather, vetiver, and oud accords individually, they combine to give a darker, woody, slightly ashy dry-down in contrast to the bright, fresh neroli. The gold dusted branches create a festive glittery look. I enjoy wearing it. If you reside in an EU member state besides UK, import VAT on this purchase is not recoverable. Clean gentlemanly without trying too hard and want to smell pleasant. now the smell isn't my thing. Even though it is a light, fresh, summer/ spring scent it actually smells warm and handsome to me. I have a new, medium dark floor and wanted a lighter rug on top. This would be good for an office, church or a date, very easy to wear and a crowd pleaser. It's been compared to Hermes D'Terre and it is nice, but not fantastic/classic like Hermes. It could've been more abstract. This starts smelling like some artificially flavoured juice I used to drink as a kid (Neroli and bergamot). Perfume lovers: 615653 By the time I get to the base, which is about 4hrs, it's barely there. Further into the dry down I understand the TdH comparison but it's faint. It reminds me Terre D'Hermes Parfum, less creamy, but more sharp and cooler neroli-juniper-vetiver combo. The oud, leather, oakmoss are support and projecting accords; they add a woody and slightly smoky note. For additional information, see the Global Shipping Program, A Nice Vintage Silver Plated Dunhill Patented Lighter Switzerland A/F #28106, An item that has been used previously. However, I won't say that it's beast mode because the scent itself is moderate with an urbane type vibe. Brilliant. Such a waste for a beautiful scent. Good versatile office scent. This solid coral reversible coverlet features pick stitch channel quilting to keep the cotton-rich filling secure and create a cozy farmhouse look. Almost blind bought it due to the high praising reviews. Really wish I'd bought this years ago. I have a hard time justifying spending $7 toward a tiny eBay decant when that $7 could go toward a full bottle of something I already know I want. This scent is exactly what i was hoping to get from DIOR. Great fragrance. gorgeous opening with citrus and neroli, the drydown is full of woody-spicies notes with that creamy taste...i love it! The difference is only that the emphasize here is on nerloi, rather than other citruses in other both scents that I mentioned, but similar vibes in the three. Yes, the dry down reminds me of Hermes Terre de Hermes/Tom Ford Grey Vetiver. Amazing scent. Many people say this is for an older man, but I'd say anyone could rock it with a nice outfit. Imo, it's a great scent for an office setting or early dinner date. It has some similarities to Dunhill's EMP, probably a little tastier, especially if smoked slowly. It shows to me the manufacturer wants to focus on selling without taking any risk. Later on in the dry-down it's vetiver woody with hints of neroli and citrus, very pleasant. Just waiting for girls feedback but I even don't care of them. One of the best releases by a designer house in 2015. tdh is better, no questions about it but the difference between the two is not so big considering the price tag(tdh is far more expensive than icon). If you like soapy cologne's you'll enjoy this. A very strong statement from DUNHILL. As a huge fan of Neroli i only get the scent in the opening 10 mins before it dies down. reminds me of an older cologne or something cheap smelling. I don’t find it some modern scent but it’s clean soapy just like come out of shower now. Smelled this while passing through Dubai airport duty free 2 years ago. Some items may require a light clean. 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. Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing. For me it has a dry and airy aspect. All items which are sold have been previously used and will show slight age related wear. This fragrance was love at first smell for me. I use it when I am bored with others in my collection. An interesting, unique, quality juice which is modern, a compliment magnet, performs nicely and is masculine. with Acqua di Gio and Sauvage. If this doesn't contain real neroli, then they've done an amazing job imitating it. - this was a blind buy and 'By Jove!' I would consider buying it if only it has more longevity. 2,099 votes. Luxurious and refined. both are mature fragrances but icon for me is slightly younger and playful. This amount includes applicable customs duties, taxes, brokerage and other fees. The great price and lovely bottle were value added. Orient Calibre F6922 Automatic movement, containing 22 Jewels, bitting at 21600 vph, and has a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. Icon has an amazing opening and this clean,slightly spicy, herbal, floral, leathery essence. It's a very lovely fragrance, but I can't quite decide if I care for the dry down. On my skin, the vetiver and leather take over quite late in the dry-down, maybe a couple of hours after the first spray. Definitely a unique fragrance, and with tremendous value. Icon was launched in 2015. Sprayed it once and had to go back and get it. Like TF Neroli Portafino...but much cheaper. What a beautiful smell in the opening too bad it doesnt last long :l also it smells like Terre D'hermes in the dry down, Smells classy to me but longevity is not good on my skin atleast. A great morning scent for me, I usually throw it on to begin my day. Not my thing! It means it has around 35% of essential oil. Not sold on longevity. The ingredients are high quality and the longevity is amazing. It's very refined, smells very professional and sophisticated. On the verge of a blind buy, I realized they had this at my local Nordstrom so I decided to wait and test it first. Some reviewers have described this as a generic scent, but to my nose Icon has its own distinctive character. And it sure beats (pun intended) a pair of brass knuckles any day. I love the bottle! Yes, that diaper rash cream I used on my kids. This is interesting and different: smoky fruit, smells purple. Be careful and make sure you do not blind buy. I don't think it's a must have but Im certainly happy to have it in the collection. Icon (barring the flood of flankers it has produced now) is an amazing modern take on english perfumery. Luminescent hands and markers. It is indeed a “happy fragrance” and not bad at all. Some compare to TDH but I dont see it.It does have a grape soda vibe to it which I like. Top notes are Mandarin Orange, Artemisia, Basil and Caraway; middle notes are Tobacco, Cinnamon, Fir and Carnation; base notes are Patchouli, Oakmoss, Vetiver and Sandalwood. This is gone by the wind. Nothing smells like this. 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. With concerns raging over a possible reformulation, I scooped up bottle a few months back which just happened to be from late 2017. It is not working. I currently have 60 bottles and used about 200 ml of Icon (2 bottles), that's a lot, because my collection is not that big, but 60 bottles is not a small collection either! Afterwards the powdery neroli picks up and gives the baby powder vibe. I agree, It's a classy gentleman's cologne. I have read 2-3 times that this fragrance is a remake of the beloved discontinued City Glam by Armani... can someone confirm this??? Great for spring and summer; don't really see it working for fall and winter. What’s there not to like? like one of those swiss army fragrances. It is little bit soapy or detergent like. Am a newbie to the perfume world but have smelled A lot of perfumes, very rarely i get wowed by a perfume. I give this a 9.4/10. I'm one of them :-). I love wrapping my right mitt around this weighted baby and placing an equally hefty bottle of Herod in my left. to me personally it smells cheap.. something an old man would wear.. but everyone seems to love it but again not for me. Then later when I tried it again, I GOT IT. It has it is own smell and I love it! Spanning 61" wide, this piece is crafted with a solid wood and plywood frame, foam and synthetic fibre fill, and polyester-blend upholstery in a solid hue for an understated and approachable look. This fragrance I love so much. Unlike the Racing flanker, this one is extremely well done and chic. Great for warmer months and office. The bergamot, neroli, and petitgrain create a bright, white floral, green, and citrus touch; it gives the fragrance a summery undertone. It’s at this point the neroli hands over to something softer and less sweet, but still with a floral undertone: presumably that’s the iris (although I couldn’t specifically identify it as such). Havana was created by Nathalie Feisthauer and Xavier Renard. How the initial reviews claimed that performance was anything more than mediocre is amazing to me. At first I didn't like it, then it grew on me but, not enough. Colour: gold (huzzah!) I got this due to the hype. I get petitgrain, lavender, cardamom and pepper through the heart which transitions to a dry woody base. However, as many have said, do not expect this to have much oud, because it doesn't. Icon by Alfred Dunhill is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. Really masculine! You spritz your first spray of Dunhill Icon and it delivers a crisp, fresh citrus-spicy blast. For me it's a dirty vetiver (but not that dirty) with florals that gives it some sort of uniqueness. I didn't love this at first, I was okay with it but I didn't love it, Someone wrote this smells like Neroli Portofino lol. The fragrance comes in heavy metal bottle as 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette. 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). I really liked it at first and wrote a good review... Now I don't know what happened. Dunhill Icon eau de Parfum: here you go! At the exit you are transported to an 80s barbershop. Love this! Almost the same quality but cheaper. The fragrance is amazing. Done, You have Icon. Top notes are Pink Pepper, Lemon and Sicilian Bergamot; middle notes are Cedar, Angelica and Galbanum; base notes are Sandalwood, Agarwood (Oud) and Musk. One camp swears it smells like Terre d'Hermes, while the other thinks it smells like grape drank. Anyway, great package and excellent value for money. 3. The bergamot, neroli, and petitgrain are the opening most prominent notes; the black pepper is also noticeable but takes a brief moment to surface. Become a member of this online perfume community and you will be able to add your own reviews. Stunning presentation. Let me give you advice worth 50$: do not buy it, trust me, you will be disappointed, you do not want this. Totally recommended. Peppery vetiver. Performance is decent. It was blind buy, I like it, but expected something different. If you like a more mature fragrance, well blended and with quality ingredients, this is safe choice. You can dress this up or use for casual. 14 people found this review helpful. Didn’t like this at all ! Oud-leather-vetiver seems about right, none are dominant but you get the effect of each. Classy! I may get some rosemary and sage as well in the mid. It’s a mordern classic for sure and imo is one of the best office/work based scents especially at the price you can find it for. With this comes a dilemma that plays out in many households across the country: Real vs. Fake.Artificial Christmas trees have come a long way since the days of Charlie Brown-tree lookalikes, which has persuaded many households to take the plunge to shop rather than chop. This is greener, lighter and more on refill wood qualities such as more direct and obvious green and exotic fruits. I see that your perfume wardrobe contains many gourmands. to my nose is very similar for the 50-60% to terre d'hermes, which is superior for quality and performance but both has in common that orangy-creamy-earthy taste. Batch code 5049 is unreal....2015 circa....older formulas have a yellowish tinted...new ones clear etc...big diff btw the two....plse state your bottles for reference....one of the best everyday scent. Overall a very pleasant fragrance, but unfortunately lacking in longevity. This makes my top 10 and is in my top 5 for the spring/summer season. Ok, so the opening of this is a fresh, green, vetiver grape soda that other reviewers are mentioning. 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. Great quality of ingredients, great bottle, great smell and sillage. Couldn't be happier with this one. I compared it to an actual neroli flower and they smell almost, if not completely, identical - in the opening, at least. To me it smells like a thinner, sharper version of Mugler Cologne. The Dunhill Icon is the edt. Copyright © 1995-2021 eBay Inc. All Rights Reserved. Fragrantica® Trends is a relative value that shows the interest of Fragrantica members in this fragrance over time. Icon by Alfred Dunhill is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men.Icon was launched in 2015. In hot temperate area like south east asia, this thing sadly last merely a short period of time. Absolutely love the freshness after couple of sprays. I have smelled hundreds and hundreds of fragrances, in my opinion this is the best one of them all! Definitely a scent that has light citrus notes in the opening, but quickly dries down into a neroli fragrance through and through. Dunhill, in my opinion, is one of the most unappreciated, under the radar house that produce beautiful, well balanced and affordable high quality fragrances. Great scent but personnaly I find the performace is better on my skin in cooler climates otherwise in hotter weather my 2016 Icon is weak in the overall performance category. Andrew Cooper is the face of the campaign, shot by Annie Leibovitz. As time passes, the bergamot takes two steps back while the rest of the notes come up. Would not recommend without first testing. which is such a pity because the scent is amazing. So ez wear. Having said that, the opening is bright and very fresh, with a strong neroli and pepper combination. Granted, Canadian weather hasn't been too kind lately, but I will try this out in warmer weather soon.
