EarthyWhat does Icon smell like?
It opens with nutmeg, saffron, mace and pink pepper, spicy with a fresh edge. Myrrh, cardamom, geranium and frankincense add a resinous depth in the heart. In the base, oud, patchouli, leather and musk give it a woody, earthy and smoky finish.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is not a firm verdict. It is also rated well for value. Amouage Epic Man and Rasasi Faqat Lil Rijal have a close profile.
