What does Icon smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it leans towards daily wear and the office. Most call its character masculine, with a strong classic streak.

It opens with Italian bergamot, petitgrain, black pepper and neroli absolute. Juniper berry, cardamom, Provençal lavender and sage in the heart keep it airy, herbal and lightly spiced. Vetiver, leather, iris, oud and oakmoss in the base settle it into a calm, woody finish. Stefano Ricci Firenze and Penhaligon's Juniper Sling have a close profile.
