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 - Expose Blanc Eau de Parfum

This one's a divisive beast. Some find it a heavy, cloying lavender bomb, while others love its intense, sweet opening and even more so the next-day drydown. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it polarises opinions sharply.

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for office and casual wear, drawing compliments without being overpowering for most. While some experience strong performance that might reduce its office appeal, many find it has moderate projection and longevity, fitting well into various daytime casual settings. However, its 'mass-appealing' and 'generic' nature makes it less ideal for formal occasions.

Its potent projection and dense, sweet profile, often described as cloying, make it unsuitable for office wear. However, its intensity and polarizing nature could make it an intriguing choice for a night out or a casual setting, though it leans against formal events.
