What does The Icon The Perfume smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so the impression is not firm. Released in 2022, it is made for men.

Fresh and aquatic accords come first, followed by a sweet, gourmand and spicy side. The heart holds cypress, iris, suede and lavender, which add a powdery, leathery note. In the base, vetiver, benzoin, patchouli and labdanum leave a woody, resinous, oriental warmth.
