What does Iconic smell like?

Jasmine and rose, together with plum, form the floral and fruity part, and bergamot lightens it slightly. Sandalwood, patchouli, oud and labdanum add a woody, spicy, smoky depth, while vanilla and musk soften and sweeten it.

Voters find both longevity and sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It stands out in the evening and on nights out, and it is also worn for leisure. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, which fits the unisex label. Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol and The Dua Brand Iconic Sour Peach have a close profile.
