Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

About

The Icon opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of grapefruit and juniper, spiced up by a lively kick of pepper. This fresh start mellows into an aromatic heart of clean lavender and green cypress, warmed by a soft, refined suede accord. The base embraces you with the earthy depth of vetiver and patchouli, fused with the sweet, resinous warmth of labdanum and benzoin, leaving a smooth and masculine impression.
