Izod Izod is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Raymond Matts and Annie Buzantian. Izod opens with Grapefruit, Lime, Cucumber, and Mint, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Lavender, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Saffron, Tobacco, and Incense. Izod's Izod carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive and muddled, Izod is a cheapie with a split personality. It attempts to blend fresh, clean notes with darker, heady elements, resulting in a somewhat confused performance that some find synthetic, others surprisingly good for the price.

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

About

Izod kicks off with a spirited, aquatic burst of cucumber, mint, and zesty citrus from lime, grapefruit, and tangerine. This fresh, green opening quickly gives way to an aromatic heart of lavender and juniper, adding a masculine, herbal edge. The base introduces an unexpected twist with saffron, smoky incense, and a dry tobacco accord, attempting to ground the earlier brightness in a more mysterious, warm finish.
