Icon Racing

#527 in my "Tour de Fragrance" I already have Montblanc Legend Spirit, Paco Rabanne Invictus, Wanted Azzaro, Eros. I got this as a decant to try it out. I have this DNA covered and then some. Unimpressive quality for an EDP, pretty much EDT, and you probably already have this in one fragrance or another that's more interesting.

This was a scent I kept seeing, but came across it later in my journey. I am actually surprised. I have numerous scents from designer and niche houses. This scent surprisingly is one of my favorites and gets a decent amount of compliments. At the price point, it can't be beat. Love it.

I love this fragrance. Reviews below aren't wrong. It is a very classic scent and the longevity is not great. I still love the scent profile and this is a great one to wear when you have nothing going on. I will spray this after an evening shower when i am not going out or throw in my gym bag to freshen up when leaving. I can't stress enough how clean and fresh this is though. The longevity justifies it low price tag but the scent justifies a much higher one. One of my favorite clean scents and way better than a body spray.

I dont know how anyone hasnt mentioned Ralph's Club. This absolutely shares some similarties (strong) with Ralph's Club and also Dunhill's own Valensole lavender. Lucky for me, I happen to absolutely love both.. This is a bubblegummy, lavendery, slightly earthy fragrance. This has more of a green tinge than either of the others IMO, but its solid, and for the price, its a WINNER. The performance and projection here are far above average for me. Not sure if the juice is just good like that, or if Dunhill's blends happen to like my skin (as someone else mentioned, and as Ive noticed with every Dunhill frag Ive owned) I got this in a variety pack from Dunhill's Icon line, will absolutely be getting a full size, along with the original Icon. Also, if you do happen to like this profile, definitely do check out R'sC and Dunhill's Valensole Lavender. Valensole is higher quality with better performance and projection, and the saffron note mixed with the sage really just nails it. It also has less of a green feel to it, instead replaced by a bit of grey-earthy feel, which is usually more pleasant for most people's noses. RC and VL are probably more mass appealing, this one is probably the more mature of the bunch. Still, however, on first spray the first thing you will think is "oh, bubblegum!"

In the dry-down it smell so much a lot like GIT by Creed and Tres Nuit by Armaf, just sweeter with a minty hint and a slight bubblegum vibe. Performance is absolutely incredible all around, projects really well and strong, longevity is amazing as other Icon releases, but even better. On clothes and paper strip it still goes strong after a week.
