What does Icon smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Fresh, citrusy and aquatic in character, it is an easy scent to wear through the day, and its unisex profile suits men and women alike.

The top notes of mandarin, apple and bergamot give a bright, juicy start. The heart holds lavender, salty notes and grapefruit, where the aquatic side comes forward. In the base, amber and vanilla add sweetness while cedarwood and sandalwood dry it down into a woody finish. Mexx Black Man (Eau de Toilette) and Miro Explore have a close profile.
