"Being self-assured makes one upright, calm, and sovereign."
As a beauty label that exclusively caters to the male gender with its product range, Zirh has made many friends worldwide, alongside prominent consumers from the international sports and styling scene in America. Many products have also been awarded multiple times by the American men's magazine FHM and praised highly. As for the men's fragrance "Ikon," this is entirely justified - here you get a lot of quality for little money, a remarkable exception.
Ikon presents itself as an exceptionally high-quality fragrance with interesting and well-chosen ingredients. At the outset, the name Davana immediately catches the eye - an aromatic plant from India, whose oil captivates with its fruity-sweet and warm aroma. The combination of spicy cardamom and invigorating, sharp ginger nuances surprises once again in a very pleasant way and gives the fragrance a top note that could make many renowned perfume houses envious. The lemon here is only a quiet companion, providing just a slight refreshing undertone.
The heart note doesn't take long to appear and creates a wonderfully pleasant and soft warmth-spice interplay, which is mainly dominated by an exceptionally mild and beautiful cinnamon note and the dark, balsamic hints of labdanum. It is also lovely to observe that the fruity sweetness and subtle sharpness of the top note linger in the heart note, somewhat muted and pushed back, but still present. Clove seeds, which prove to be much shyer than the typical clove, accompany the heart with an exotic note and are excellently complemented by a slightly earthy and enchanting scent accord of orris root. I have yet to smell a combination of such exquisite and exotic fragrance notes that is even remotely comparable - a wonderfully unusual scent experience without any exaggeration or niche affinity!
The base also delights with perfectly dosed fragrance notes of smoky amber, sensual patchouli, and the woody and warm undertones of cedarwood and vetiver. I cannot detect the frankincense on its own, yet I miss nothing in this fragrance. Ikon is neither a loudmouth nor a coward; it is very present, but in a beautifully subtle way. A fragrance with extraordinarily high-quality ingredients, an immensely good dosage of the individual fragrance notes, and an extremely charismatic and sovereign presence - Ikon hypnotizes.
The timelessly puristic bottle design by Chad Lavigne, who has also created for Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger, and Ralph Lauren, may seem to clash with the potency of the fragrance at first glance, but it is nonetheless very elegantly and appealingly executed. The longevity is perfectly fine at a good 6 hours, and the current price level of the 75ml bottle is absolutely unbeatable.
CONCLUSION: Those who place great value on high-quality ingredients and are open to exotic fragrance nuances should definitely test this. Those looking for a sustainable, masculine scent without ostentation will find themselves in the right place, and anyone searching for a beautiful and high-quality Eau de Toilette for little money, far from faceless designer fragrances, will likely not regret a blind purchase - less risk, more fun!
