Icon Racing Red
by Alfred Dunhill
Icon Racing Red features a bright, fresh-spicy blend centered around citrus and woody accords, with prominent mandarin orange, black pepper, and grapefruit in the top notes. It carries a clean, aromatic profile that feels slightly generic and closely related to Versace Eros Flame and Mont Blanc Legend Red, with a sweet-toned, mild-structured development typical of designer fragrances. The scent projects moderately with moderate sillage, delivering a subtle yet noticeable presence throughout the day. Performance is notably inconsistent—some wearers report it lasting well beyond expectations, while others note it fades quickly on their skin, though average longevity is not subpar.
Pros
- +Strong presence with moderate to strong sillage
- +Fast, pleasant opening with citrus and spicy notes
- +Good value for money, especially at discounted prices
Cons
- −Highly derivative of Eros Flame and other popular blue fragrances
- −Performance varies significantly depending on skin type
- −Fades quickly on some skin types despite being reported as long-lasting by others
