Iceberg Iceberg is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1989, created by Sophie Labbé. Iceberg opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange Blossom, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Iceberg's Iceberg carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This 80s gem still holds its own, offering a classy, green-tinged freshness that's surprisingly modern. Don't let the price fool you; this is niche quality for a bargain, though some find it a touch too 'vintage' or bitter. Definitely a crowd-pleaser for warm weather.

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.

Its moderate sillage and clean, fresh profile make it excellent for daily wear, especially in casual and office settings where it won't overpower. The green, bright notes are often cited as perfect for spring and summer daytime, including light sport activities. While not typically a formal scent, its elegance allows for some versatility.

About

Iceberg opens with a vibrant, almost bracing burst of galbanum and lemon, a zesty green accord that's quickly tempered by the subtle sweetness of peach and orange blossom. The heart blooms into a sophisticated floral bouquet, where crisp lily of the valley and delicate rose intertwine with the creamy depth of ylang-ylang. As it dries, a natural, earthy base of oakmoss and vetiver emerges, grounded by soft musk and cedar, creating a refined and subtly fresh finish.
