Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Polo Green EDT
Polo Green is a legendary powerhouse - a forest in a bottle, projecting confidence and old-school masculinity with its dense blend of pine, leather, tobacco and moss.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Icon EDP
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Polo Green

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its bold, classic masculinity and assertive projection suit formal occasions and confident casual wear, but the intensity can be too much for modern offices or sporty settings.
