Our verdict on Icon Racing: Favourite

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Sport

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.

About

Opens with a zesty, bright blast of grapefruit and bergamot, spiced up with a hint of warm cardamom. The heart introduces a clean, aromatic lavender alongside a fresh, peppery kick and the subtle sweetness of orange blossom. It settles into a woody, musky drydown with vetiver and guaiac wood, creating a clean, slightly creamy finish.
