Dunhill Icon Eau de Parfum opens with a lively blend of bergamot and neroli brightened by a crackle of black pepper and petitgrain, then eases into a refined aromatic heart where lavender, cardamom, juniper berry, and more pepper give lift and structure, before settling into a confident dry down of vetiver, oakmoss, iris, leather, and a hint of oud that feels polished yet adventurous.

Story and Positioning
Introduced as the debut of the Icon line, this scent channels the open road and the thrill of travel associated with British motoring, pairing crisp citrus and pepper with luxurious touches of orris and leather for a versatile office to evening signature. Often placed alongside neroli-led woody aromatics, while remaining distinctly Dunhill.
Bottle and Design
Icon comes in a weighty cylindrical flacon with a textured, engine-turn style surface that nods to Dunhill’s automotive heritage. The metal clad build gives satisfying heft, and the clean geometry presents elegantly.
