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