Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Icon Racing Eau de Parfum

Dunhill Icon Racing is a divisive crowd-pleaser. Some folk love its fresh, clean, mass-appealing vibe; others find it generic and synthetic. Whether it's a 'monster projector' or a skin scent depends entirely on whose nose you trust.

Our Verdict - Chinotto di Liguria Eau de Parfum

A bittersweet symphony for some, a fleeting joy for others. This one's an Acqua di Parma classic with a twist. It bursts with unique, fizzy citruses, but its staying power truly splits the crowd. Love the opening, lament the longevity-a common refrain for good reason.
