ICON is an audacious, stylish scent. A future classic of the perfumer’s art, ICON has been conceptualised by Master Perfumer, Carlos Benaim. Ingredients gathered from the mythical travels of the dunhill man, a worldly sophisticated traveller, the smell exotic and distinctive. ICON opens with the ultimate blend of rare and expensive ingredients. Sleek top notes of Italian Bergamot and Neroli Absolute intertwine with a racy black pepper, fusing the mid-notes of cardamom and Lavender de Provence to add a unique twist of masculinity. At the base, revel in the beguiling warmth of smokey Oud wood, and an Oris-leather accord, alluring in depth blended with earthy Vetiver and a hint of oak moss melding, into an Iconic signature scent.
