Charming oriental balanced
I've always been really into fresh, sporty, younger, tart scents. Apparently, now that I'm almost 50, I'm just discovering the orientals. Right now! How silly! Spring is starting after all and these are winter scents!
But no - this one is oriental and still a bit fresh.
Intense sillage right at the start, but it goes away in 10 minutes and hands over to darker tones. Like a little purple with plum jam and Earl Grey. But not feminine.
Besides my personal very sensitive perception, I also like to rely on the judgment of my daughter. She is in her mid-twenties and does so in passing, does not deal with fragrance pyramid, heart note, and what else you slowly teach me there so in technical terms. "Dad, that's n super perfume" or "yes great, that fits" or even a more or less contemptuous Naserümpfen "is not your style".
This week, for example, I brought her a sample (women's perfume sample, came with a delivery of men's perfume, thank you) - she just immediately unraveled this cardboard thing, sniffed and said "boah noe, that's for old ladies", and away, and ready.
Enough digressing. 2 spritzes of Iconic on my neck, went to her after 20 minutes, and she said "dad, that's n super perfume".
With this, she convinces me. Only the Parfumo community remains unenlightened behind the barrier, so to speak, and therefore still gets the following info:
After an hour, it goes down to a warm balanced fragrance, brownish light yellow, vanilla, and pretty mainstream. I like it! With perfume, mainstream is perfectly OK for me, just not with a lot of other things.
Yes, Iconic definitely has an oriental flair. Not exactly India, but at least Kazakhstan. Some cinnamon, lavender, vanilla among other aromatic spices still unknown to me.
Particularity: even after hours always comes out of nowhere just for a second a tiny citro wind in my nose. As if someone would run past me, who just halves a lime with a very blunt knife. Then I raise my wrist to that very nose and: No, it's not there anymore. And then it comes back repeatedly for a moment anyway. Brilliant. I find that very delightful!
The durability: Unfortunately, only so to the 5-6 hours. For me, rather important. I think the more durable a perfume is, the better and less stingy it is made. And I do not have to take it with me to re-spray!
Overall, a compelling fragrance. Well invented, beautifully composed. Not flashy, not inconspicuous. Small bottle (30ml) for a small price at flaconi or ezebra. May I recommend to every man between 20 and 60 to try. Since one makes in no case a mistake and plunges into no financial crisis.
Recommendable. And the bottle I like megagut.
