dunhill London Icon Racing Eau de Parfum

Product Information

This often reveals the funniest aspects, and you don't run the risk of misstamping the fragrance by testing it once (daily condition and so on...)

Anyway, I don't want to work on the commi below, because it was my first impression, and certainly shows many already the direction well he is going. But when I re-tested it, I came across something.

Customer Reviews

Paying homage to Alfred Dunhill’s racing past, the EDP is exciting, dangerous and out of control. Inspired by the thrill-seeking, adrenaline-filled rush you feel when racing your favourite sports car, dunhill Icon Racing Red embodies the man who is here for a great time, not a long time. I was increasingly able to free myself from the false association with Invictus Aqua and became more open to new insights. And on a long evening, more precisely in the middle of the night during a walk, I suddenly found it: The scent has something slightly addictive, beguiling about it that I was familiar with. Something that you have to let work longer to deal with it I find. It starts fresh and tangy with bergamot and grapefruit. Especially the herb-fresh grapefruit note I find very successful and just the right thing for warmer days. A sweet lavender note is added, which accompanies this fresh creation in a pleasant and modern way. The spice is discreet with a light pepper note and a nice sweet-spicy cardamom note. The creation keeps itself very balanced. A great mixture of bitter-fresh, citric, sweet, spicy and fruity. The synthetics resonate here, but I don't find them exaggerated or annoying. The base is very soft with beautiful guaiac wood with musk and vetiver. Pleasantly fading away. Overall very harmonious creation, which will bring some compliments. Not among the niche lovers, but in the usual environment. Particularly suitable for everyday use, as it is pleasantly fresh and the big extraordinary highlights are missing.

For me, Icon Racing Red EDP smells like driving a convertible along a winding road through a sub-tropical forest, the trees rich with oranges basking in warm sunlight.

So for me it has as much in common with Invictus Aqua as a pimped Opel Manta with a Lamborghini ':D
