ICONOfly · 2015

Fresh · Aquatic · Sweet

ICONofly It Was A Time That Was A Time is a unisex scent that sets the coolness of ambergris and marine notes against the powdery, smoky warmth of violet, suede and frankincense. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with fewer choosing summer and spring. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and the masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as in between. It opens with ambergris and marine notes, giving a fresh, aquatic start. In the heart, tonka bean adds sweetness, violet a powdery softness and suede a leathery feel, while patchouli brings an earthy depth. In the base, immortelle, musk and frankincense settle it into a resinous, smoky warmth.

ICONOfly · 2009

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

ICONOfly Attache-Moi is a unisex scent built on amber, musk and woody notes, with a sweet, spicy character. Amber, musk and woody notes make up the whole scent, with the sweetness paired with a warm, spicy and resinous feel. The woody side leads while powdery and animal tones stay in the background, leaving a soft but warm impression. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen most often for evenings, then for leisure and nights out. More voters call it feminine than masculine, though both views are well represented, so it sits somewhere in between.

ICONOfly

Fresh · Floral · Green

ICONofly Personne is a unisex scent with a green, fresh and earthy character, where floral and spicy touches rest on a woody base. Cypress, laurel, myrtle and rosemary open it with a herbal, resinous feel. In the heart, hyacinth, davana, immortelle, carob tree and fenugreek soften that with a floral sweetness and a dry, spicy tone. The base of barley, bran and violet leaf settles into a grainy, earthy ground, with oarweed adding a green edge. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close and calm around the wearer. Most voters pick it for daytime and leisure, with business wear close behind; fewer choose it for evenings or nights out. Jo Malone Highland Heather and Diptyque Jardin Clos have a close profile.

Attache-Moi 55

ICONOfly · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

ICONOfly Attache-Moi 55 opens with mirabelle plum, cardamom and mandarin orange, then moves into a jasmine and osmanthus heart, making for a fresh, floral unisex scent. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though few voters have weighed in, so that picture is tentative. Voters spread it evenly across leisure, a night out, business and evening wear; no season stands out. The opening is citrusy and fruity, with cardamom adding a light spice. In the heart, orris, osmanthus and jasmine bring a soft floral note, and a green thread runs through. The base rests on woody vetiver, rounded off by Kashmiri musk and amber. M. Asam No. 1 and ID Parfums La Route des Épices - Iguazú have a close profile.
