Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Icon Eau de Parfum

Dunhill Icon is divisive: a bold, peppery neroli bomb some hail as a unique, sophisticated masterpiece with a 'grape soda' twist, others dismiss as cheap, synthetic, or just 'okay'. A true talker, but with variable performance.

Statement

Our Verdict - Caliber Declaration Eau de Parfum

This one is a divisive take on a classic, leaning more into its warm, spicy side. Expect a sophisticated, somewhat flat aroma that might not thrill purists but offers a unique, dressed-up feel.
