Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper chameleon: fresh, spicy, and woody like a brisk walk in a pine forest, yet it dries down to a surprisingly warm, sweet caress. It's properly divisive amongst wearers on the masculine-feminine axis, truly making it a 'your skin but better' scent. A perfect everyday reach, if you can find it.
Dunhill Icon Elite is a divisive woody scent: some find it a sophisticated, underrated gem, while others dismiss it as generic and underwhelming. It's affordable, but its performance is a toss-up - sometimes subtle, sometimes surprisingly long-lasting on clothes.
