Iceberg Universe is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1997, created by Sophie Labbé. Universe opens with Honeysuckle, Galbanum, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Iceberg's Universe carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A truly unique and hauntingly beautiful scent that manages to be both comforting and intriguing. It's a proper 'if you know, you know' masterpiece that sadly isn't made like this anymore. Expect compliments and a scent journey unlike any other.

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

Universe opens with a nuanced blend of galbanum's green depth and a hint of sweet honeysuckle, surprisingly missing the expected peach. As it evolves, a powdery, lipstick-like iris emerges, softened by rose and lily, before settling into a warm, resinous drydown. Amber, benzoin, and vanilla create a cozy, slightly medicinal warmth, underpinned by woody vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli, with a soft musky finish.
