Which Should You Buy?
Sultan is the Arabian cheapie everyone's banging on about, but the performance is a real mixed bag. Some reckon it's a beast, others say it fades faster than a shy bloke's attempt at flirting. If you get a good batch, it's a fresh, woody winner that punches way above its price point.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh and clean profile, coupled with often light projection for some batches, makes it suitable for casual wear, office settings (if applied lightly), and even sport. The woody and spicy elements, however, keep it from being a top choice for very formal occasions. Its affordability also makes it a popular choice for 'workhorse' and everyday use.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and generally refined woody character make it suitable for office wear. While pleasant, it lacks the strong projection often desired for dates or casual outings, though some find it sufficiently elegant for formal settings.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Aromatic, Warm Spicy accords and Juniper, Sandalwood notes
