FougèreWhat does Iconic Men smell like?
It opens with Sichuan pepper, mandarin orange and black pepper, so citrus and spice meet in a lively, sharp start. In the heart, maté absolute, clary sage absolute and geranium bring a green, herbal feel. The base settles on vetiver, labdanum absolute and leather, leaving a woody, leathery ground. Its fougère structure and slightly synthetic freshness shape the overall impression. Mancera Wind Wood and Calvin Klein Eternity for Men (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
