Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, d'Ikar is a masterclass in understated elegance. Expect a refined, unique scent that performs best in warmer climes. Don't listen to the haters; this one's pure sophistication.
This isn't a safe blind buy, as it splits opinion between those who find its unique, herbaceous opening off-putting and those who adore its sophisticated, clean dry down. It's an acquired taste, but an addictive one for many.
