Icon Racing Red

First off...Great Bottle! Its fabulously iconic on its own!!...and very hard to discard once the frags gone! I found this dilemma when I used up all of my Dunhill Icon, same bottle but fashioned in a stainless steel type finish, quite a heavyweight bottle too, really thick glass, very posh, very handsome and manly a nice piece of Object d'Art! (Objay-dar) Okay, so onto the fragrance, loud alcohol burst opening, so let it evaporate for a couple of minutes to get into the initial dry down, where the bouquet really shines through with its warmth and complex dexterity. Lots of wood and earthy accords but with a refreshingly sharp hit of fruity/citrus, orange and grapefruit, rising from the heart of this warm, comforting and surprisingly alluring bouquet. Pepper is the real mainstay of this fragrance, being noticeable all throughout the entire experience. So if you love peppery frags (backed by mandarin oranges) then this one is for you! Yes its enjoyable on the wrist as I keep on smelling it and can't wait to top it up! I'd say Dunhill have crafted a niche frag here, its delicate, wafts along at its own pace, is quite intimate, durable, robust but projects softly at arms length. Sillage would be light, longevity would be 6+ hrs on skin 10+hrs on clothing.

I used to have Eros Flame, I sold it and I missed since then. I recently have this Racing Red. And I so happy with that. Scent wise is really great, really close to flame, but of course has some differences between the two quailty wise. I would say it is a twist from Flame with it is own Icon EDP dna. Really good alternative for Eros Flame.

This one is nice. It is my third favorite in the Icon line. I can see where people compare it to Eros Flame and it kinda is. It reminds me more of Mont Blanc Legend Red. nevertheless, it is a very nice fragrance. What to blind buy it? Go for it, it is a safe buy especially if you can get it at discounters.

Surprisingly lost lasting on my stubborn skin. The scent is very generic and similar to other blue fragrances, but still very nice.

I just received this in the mail, sprayed it on, and I'm perplexed. This smells like a lot of different scents in one, namely I get Eros Flame, Spicebomb, and weirdly enough Armani Code Colonia. It's very pleasant to my nose, like a tribrid of a fruit, pepper and zest. I can see this being listed as generic by some, but I don't mind it. The original Racing is very bubble gym fresh, and that's one of my most complimented. This is a decent change of pace for Dunhill Icon. I would say that this isn't a summer fragrance, though, more geared to transitional months like spring and fall. Overall, I'm surprised and satisfied considering it was $37 on FN.
