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 - Arabian Sky Eau de Parfum

If you're after a crowd-pleasing freshie that punches above its weight, Arabian Sky is a solid bet. It’s not breaking new ground, often compared to popular "blue" scents, but it's a well-executed take that will garner compliments, especially for those new to this scent profile.
