With pipe at the barber
Yes, in the past you were still allowed. I as a non-smoker have of course nix against but earlier you were still allowed to smoke at the hairdresser What does that have to do with Icon Elite?
So while I had described in my review of Dunhill Icon the fragrance with a barbershop or barber shop, the Icon would be a mixture of barbershop and pub...
or just the old days where that was still allowed.
The statements that of the Icon DNA nix is left, I can not agree.
Elite is different, not "better", not "worse" but different and despite everything you can especially in the top note still smell out the Icon DNA.
And isn't that the point of a flanker? To be different but still let you recognize the roots?
In the prelude, apart from the lime, the other notes of bergamot and cardamom can also be smelled out well. Bitter orange I smell here less.
Later sage and pepper come into play but for me is here the base note most beautiful:
Various woody notes with a hint of leather..goes quite easily into the sweet.
A good all-rounder that you can always wear, except maybe at 30 °
Durability and sillage are both a little weaker than the Icon, but the bottle in black looks a little bit better ;)
