Antonio Banderas 2023 EDP
The Icon Elixir
Antonio Banderas The Icon Elixir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Coralie Spicher. The Icon Elixir opens with Citrus, Spicy Notes, Cardamom, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Salt, Sea Water, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Musk. Antonio Banderas's The Icon Elixir carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.
This 'elixir' is a blue fragrance crowd-pleaser that punches above its price point. It's an easy grab-and-go scent, though some find it a bit generic and longevity can be a sticking point for an 'Elixir'.What our verdicts mean →

Scent 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 fresh, aquatic profile makes it highly versatile for casual wear and sport. While generally mass-appealing, its initial strong projection might be too much for an office, and its casual nature makes it less suited for strictly formal events.
Declarable allergens
We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

- Lavender
- Synthetic musk
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
