SOTD – Dunhill Icon

Today's SOTD is Dunhill Icon, although this sample isn't really auditioning for anything. I've already managed to track down a full bottle, so I'm simply finishing the travel spray and clearing one more space in the sample box.

Now discontinued, Icon opens fresh and aromatic, with bergamot and neroli providing plenty of brightness before the pepper, cardamom, vetiver, and woods begin to emerge. The drydown is pleasant and easy to wear, although there's occasionally a slightly synthetic quality that keeps me from loving it quite as much as some of my other fresh fragrances.

Still, this is a very nice scent: clean, masculine, versatile, and just distinctive enough to remain interesting.

Would it have become a must-buy if it were still widely available? Maybe not. But knowing it's discontinued made me happy to grab a bottle while I still could.

Current status: Sample nearly finished. Full bottle already secured. No regrets.
