Icon Dunhill 2015

100 ml consumed relatively quickly. Previously, I had Lalique Hommage as my daily scent and actually wanted to return to Terre d'Hermes Edt, but then Icon came my way. The similarity to TdH was given, but there was more. A lightness or elegance that I miss in Terre. Rochas Lui was a candidate that I liked for this reason. But as an everyday scent, especially since it's hardly available anymore, it was unsuitable. That's why I now have Icon. Once again, I must say, as I was about to switch back to Terre and tried it again a few days ago to remind myself. Good that I did that. Unfortunately, little of my former passion remains. Terre is now too spicy and intrusive for me. The decision for another bottle of Icon was made quickly. In the meantime, prices have also dropped.

Citrus-fresh-sparkling, spicy (more comparable to Declaration Cartier), light but intense enough and suitable for many occasions without following the fruit/chocolate trend, I find Icon to be a kind of new classic. Whether over 30 or over 40, everyone has to decide for themselves.

By the way, the Icon in the golden bottle "Absolute" is unfortunately not comparable at all. Definitely no evolution, and I also find no comparison in terms of quality. Icon Absolute has nothing in common with TdH and Declaration. However, I have noticed that Absolute has appealed to some ladies. Significantly more intense and noticeable. I would probably only buy it for the golden bottle so that it forms a team with the silver one. Then let's see how the new Elite version smells.

Update 21.10.2016
In the meantime, quite a bit has happened here. Thanks for the approval and positive reviews. I didn't expect that and haven't checked in here for a while. Even though I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed by this up and down rating, I am, of course, still disappointed about its continued existence and will therefore continue not to write any more comments.

Update 06.02.2017 (downgrade in the ratings)
Yes, Icon is a good scent, I like it. But the problem for me is that it fades after a short time; others can certainly still smell it, but in direct comparison to my other favorite (which is also not a power scent), Lalique Hommage, it does too little for me (after a certain time, I really feel reminded of Thierry Mugler Cologne). I need a bit more aura to wear it longer and consistently. Over 1 year is enough for now. Moving on with Lalique Hommage + its flanker Voyageur. Terre won't be back so quickly, as I simply miss the scent from the past. What happened to Terre?

Update 16.12.18 rating adjusted. Increased!
I'm glad that Icon exists. Really. Currently definitely my number 1. Probably this one scent is enough for me. Slowly, I need new bottles again. The prices are also great. Nice that it polarizes and prices continue to fall :) Thank you

Update 28.01.2020 replaced with Dunhill Century, which I currently like better.
But I will come back to it at some point. I will have to decide between Icon and Bvlgari Wood Neroli. Both very similar. Icon is spicier.
