Dunhill Icon Absolute

The Story
Dunhill Icon Absolute is a richer, darker take on the original Icon. It opens with a burst of spicy pink pepper and fresh grapefruit, then settles into a warm heart of saffron and leather. The base is a smoky blend of vetiver, patchouli, and amber that lasts all day. This is a confident, modern scent for the man who wants to make a statement without shouting.
