Alfred Dunhill 2016 EDP
Icon Elite
Alfred Dunhill Icon Elite is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Icon Elite opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Lime, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Pepper, Juniper, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Suede, Ebony, Sandalwood, and Labdanum. Alfred Dunhill's Icon Elite carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.
Dunhill Icon Elite is a divisive woody scent: some find it a sophisticated, underrated gem, while others dismiss it as generic and underwhelming. It's affordable, but its performance is a toss-up - sometimes subtle, sometimes surprisingly long-lasting on clothes.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its moderate projection and generally refined woody character make it suitable for office wear. While pleasant, it lacks the strong projection often desired for dates or casual outings, though some find it sufficiently elegant for formal settings.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
