About

Iconic Men kicks off with a spirited blast of bright bergamot and mandarin, sharpened by a zesty lemon. As that initial citrus fanfare settles, a sophisticated heart of aromatic geranium and a whisper of green thyme emerges, subtly warmed by a sweet, liquorice-like anise. The dry down is a grounding blend of earthy patchouli, clean musk, and dry cedar, all underpinned by a surprisingly smooth, almost smoky tobacco note that adds a touch of classic masculine depth without being overwhelming.
