Dunhill Icon Absolute Eau de Parfum wraps pepper bright citrus in plush florals and polished woods, opening with a lively spark of bergamot and black pepper before revealing saffron with black rose and jasmine, then settling into a suave dry down of oud, leather, and tobacco that feels refined, evening-ready, and unmistakably modern on skin.

Story and Positioning
A deeper chapter in the Icon line, Icon Absolute leans into saffron tinted florals over a warm oud, leather, and tobacco base, making it a confident choice for nights out, cool weather, and dressed-up occasions. Often compared for its elegant woody spice profile with Tom Ford Oud Wood and Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir, which places it in that suave, smoky oud spectrum while staying distinctively Dunhill.
Bottle and Design
The flacon carries the Icon family’s signature cylindrical form with a textured, knurled surface and a rich gold finish, a handsome object that nods to Dunhill’s motoring and lighter heritage while feeling weighty and premium in hand.
