Icon

by Carlos Benaïm

Alfred Dunhill Icon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Carlos Benaïm. The fragrance opens with Pepper, Neroli, Petitgrain, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Lavender, Juniper, Sage, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Iris, Leather, Vetiver, and Oakmoss.

Our verdict on Icon: Statement

Dunhill Icon is divisive: a bold, peppery neroli bomb some hail as a unique, sophisticated masterpiece with a 'grape soda' twist, others dismiss as cheap, synthetic, or just 'okay'. A true talker, but with variable performance.

About

Icon kicks off with a vibrant, peppery citrus rush of neroli and bergamot, sharp and invigorating. As it settles, a clean aromatic core of lavender and juniper emerges, mingling with warm cardamom. The dry-down introduces a sophisticated backbone of earthy vetiver, rich leather, and subtle iris, giving it surprising depth and a rather grown-up feel.
