Which Should You Buy?
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.
A dead ringer for LV Orage, this one’s a fresh, woody scent that punches way above its price point. Just don't expect it to last for ages - it's a fleeting beauty, much like its designer counterpart.
