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.
