What does Ikon smell like?

It begins with the sharp, citrusy brightness of ginger, cardamom and lemon. Towards the heart, cinnamon and clove strengthen the spice, while labdanum and orris root add a sweet, resinous softness. In the base, vetiver, patchouli and frankincense leave an earthy, slightly smoky woodiness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring is not far behind, and summer is the least chosen season. Daily wear, business and leisure lead, with evening also suiting it. Most voters find it masculine.
