dunhill London Icon Racing Eau de Parfum

Product Information

First of all: He doesn't have much to do with the rest of the icons or even the original. More in the direction of day scent a la Versace pour Homme Dylan Blue. Thus this icon goes with the trend and appeals to a younger audience and fits almost exclusively to a casual look. This should probably also be the target group. Niche freaks and men in the Business Look will probably rather not like. So for me it has as much in common with Invictus Aqua as a pimped Opel Manta with a Lamborghini ':D

On the Interweb some people and communities claim that this fragrance reminds of Invictus Aqua 2016. Just think of taking a fresh shower and mix it with some Invictus....simple as that - clean, inoffensive, and nice. It wont blow doors open or make people gasp,,,but it will not bother anyone and if anything, if you put too much on you will smell like you used too much shower gel etc! This often reveals the funniest aspects, and you don't run the risk of misstamping the fragrance by testing it once (daily condition and so on...) Founded in 1983, dunhill is known for its sophisticated, tailored menswear and accessories, owing its success to the high standards of quality set by the owner. But this luxury culture doesn’t stop with fashion; it’s carried through to all of Alfred Dunhill’s fragrances – and the latest launch for 2021 is no exception. The citrus-aromatic dunhill Icon Racing Red Eau de Parfum perfectly balances solar accords and fresh geranium with a fusion of woody facets to achieve an exhilarating fragrance that embodies the spirit of racing.

Anyway, I don't want to work on the commi below, because it was my first impression, and certainly shows many already the direction well he is going. But when I re-tested it, I came across something. If you’re a fan of dunhill Icon but you’re looking for something a little more exhilarating and contemporary, you’ll love the Icon Racing collection. The Racing Red Eau de Parfum fits perfectly between the original Icon and Icon Elite, taking the aromatic pepper facet from both and pairing it with the fresh citruses from the original and the warm woods of Elite.

Paying homage to Alfred Dunhill’s racing past, the EDP is exciting, dangerous and out of control. Inspired by the thrill-seeking, adrenaline-filled rush you feel when racing your favourite sports car, dunhill Icon Racing Red embodies the man who is here for a great time, not a long time.I have a ritual to test scents like this: The current test persons usually stay on my living room table, and I re-test them every now and then when it's "about nothing", comfortably in the evening, in the morning before showering, during sports or something... Icon Racing smells more like Ferragamo's Uomo Casual Life to me, but less fruity and sweeter. You could, especially in the Sillage of the Opening, think of the Invicuts series for a moment... but so undefined that I don't think I would have thought of it myself. But it smells like something to me. So nothing specific.
