The Icon Eau de Parfum

I've been using it for some 4 months now and its has become my staple office fragrance. I bought it blind on Fragnet , so I had no clue what it smelled like. When I tried the first time it was very disconcerting, the first time I used it I was like WHOA what is this?? The screechy pomelo and peppery notes were something I've never experienced before. Keep in mind that I had not bough a new fragrance in 10 years, many things have changed ever since the last time! But then I started to get compliments at the office and among friends, and then discovered that in the dry down is when this one shines. Does it smell synthetic? Yes. But still amazingly smooth and creamy with lavender, ambroxan and vetiver notes. Does it not last long on skin? Yes, if you sissy spray, it wont last more than 3 hours. I go heavy on the trigger, 15-20 sprays will get you a very long lasting 8 hour sensation. For CAD $31 for the 100ml bottle, you can afford to go crazy with this one. It is a magnificent fragrance, a steal for the price, it's gonna get you compliments guaranteed. I If you blind buy just make sure you give it enough time, try it on several days a week and it will grow on you more and more. I wish there was a 200ml bottle, I would certainly buy it!

To me this comes across very similar on drydown to Rochas L'homme and even K edp. Definitely a sweet and fresh blue fragrance suitable for spring and summer but with some depth, not airy or fleeting. I was quite impressed with both it's longevity and projection. Lasted a full 8 hour work day. Great cheap grab.

La mejor de la linea icon, una frescura con maderas citrica rica con un dulzor suave, y picantosa, duración mala pero es barata y se puede reaplicar.

Simply the best day to day fragrance one can wear 🤍 A judge compliment getter

Buen descubrimiento :) para lo que cuesta muy bien. Una salida algo picante y hasta cierto punto fresca por la toronja me imagino. No se parece a sauvage (no se vayan por eso). El secado ya se siente un poco la gamuza (no cuero) la lavanda, el pachuli y tiene un carácter muy masculino. Demasiado. Si es verdad que se siente más sintética que muchas fragancias de diseñador (cuál no lo es) pero tiene un punto encantador dentro de todo. No siempre es necesario gastar tanto para oler muy bien. No es recomendada para los que se sienten ultra conocedores y le hacen feo a las fragancias económicas. Fragancia más bien para tomar una copa o una cita en un restaurante o terraza, para una reunión donde vayas de traje. No es una fragancia formal como tal, pero si tiene ese carácter de elegancia un poco presente. Dura muy poco es cierto. Pero tampoco esperes mucho por los 20 dólares que pagas. La gente se pone a opinar en contra de toda fragancia que se ponen a las 6 o 7 am, a veces sin bañarse incluso, salen de su casa enfrentando tráfico, transporte y demás y quieren que les dure si o si 8-10 horas. Nada que no se solucione incluso con una fragancia de diseñador costosa (incluso algunas nicho) reaplicando. Si se puede pagar más de 70-100 dólares o mucho más a veces por una fragancia es difícil de creer que no se pueda pagar 2-3 dólares más por un perfumero para tener ahí la fragancia y reaplicar :) recomiendo este perfume si tienes más de 25 años y buscas algo versátil, que no huela como algo tan masificado y tú vestimenta sea más bien de traje o sport diario. No esperes muchos cumplidos pero de que gusta gusta y bastante :) yo en mi caso me la compré por la reacción de mi esposa al atomizarla. Y para mí es válido introducir una fragancia a mi colección si noto reacción favorable en una de las mujeres más importantes de mi vida. Lo demás importa poco y nada :) recomiendo no comprar a ciegas y si te la llevas a casa disfrutala

The Icon de Antônio Banderas Eau de Parfum é um excelente perfume com relação à fragrância, mas infelizmente peca bastante na performance e projeção, durando, ao menos na minha pele, cerca de apenas 2-4 horas, com uma performance um pouco melhor se comparado aos demais da linha, mas sem muita novidade. O preço é justificável, tendo em vista que hoje por cerca de R$200 você facilmente consegue comprar essa fragrância. No mais, gostaria que existisse algum perfume com o cheiro similar, porém com a performance melhor. Alguns dizem se assemelhar com o Gentleman Givenchy, até com a versão de 2017, e que apesar de ter certa semelhança, acredito que estão bem longe de serem próximos. Se seu objetivo é ter um perfume fresco e aromático para uma saída mais breve e com ótimo custo benefício, este é o perfume certo pra você. No mais, não recomendaria pra saídas mais prolongadas, como o trabalho, pois como disse anteriormente a fixação e projeção deixam a desejar. Sigo na busca de achar um perfume similar com uma performance relativamente melhor! Nota aroma: 8/10 Nota projeção: 6/10 Nota fixação: 7/10

Amazing for office, I got my bottle just today and I was previously using Dylan blue. Since I switched to a different cologne and its not office appropriate, I needed a daily driver: cheap, long lasting and for office setting. This cologne has a DNA similar to Dylan Blue just a little softer. It has a good top, has decent projection with a little scent bubble. Smells absolutely solid until the 3.5 hour mark on skin. Post 4 hours its completely a skin scent and if someone is close they will definitely pick up on it. for it to completely dry down and disappear on my skin it took 6+ hours (if you have warmer skin you should try spraying it on your clothes from a distance). for this price point I highly recommend it. If you want to venture into different colognes you can invest there and buy this as a backup safe option which could be a no brainer spray to get you through your day. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5. If you live in India then Nykaa and Shopper's stop have amazing deals on it. Hope my review was useful have a great day everyone!

Mature? Old fashioned? This? I was going to say the complete opposite. For a dating scent for young men (25 - 30 and below) it's just great. For greater age i'd advice Bentley For Men or such. In the opening it resembles a somewhat blue feel with the grapefruit and pepper combo but later the suede appears and along some touches of amber, the scent becomes somewhat dark and great for dating. Its projection is never particularly heavy or anything like that, always rather intimate, that along the scent makes it a good dating fragrance. The longevity is just OK, better on clothing, goes very well with black clothing and fall - winter climate. Very recommended as an alternative to the Givenchy Gentleman EDT / EDP (Similar to EDT in the leather / lavender / iris kinda feel, but with the amber drydown of the EDP) line but much cheaper. Neither i see it being "extremely versatile" as some say. I would wear this only in winter where i live, mountain zone of Mexico. Blessings.

This is a great fall and winter centric fragrance that is amazing value for the price, specially if you buy the Kit for $25 bucks. The lavender and ambroxan are the star of the show for the first 30 minutes, but then it settles down into a nice and sweet ambery fragrance that it sadly does not retain for very long, the base is quite nice still, but not as good as the mid, the benzoin kicks all the way until the end with the suede note being also subtly present. Longevity is 3-4 hrs for me with projection being good for the first 2, it does last like 6 hours but I don't count those extra 2 cuz projection is barely there. Maybe you can spray this on clothes and have it perform better. 7.5/10

This fragrance reminds me of John Varvatos xx heritage(black bottle) and Diesel only the brave tattoo. It has this tart note in it I don't know how to describe. I will say, the performance here with icon is not good. And it's a lighter scent of those 2 mentioned above as they have better performance and longevity. Would I rebuy? No. I have those 2 I mentioned earlier and they nail this scent better overall. The bottle and atomizer however are very nice but this scent will def need resprays and you gotta respray heavily. You get what you pay for here.

Sharp grapefruit and black pepper open it with a little crisp citrus punch, refreshing, confident. Soon, lavender and suede soften toward a warm vetiver/benzoin dry-down. It hints at that cooler spark at the top before it turns into grown-up suave. You smell clean, modern, and quietly impressive—just don’t expect it to last past a couple of hours without a re‐spray.

There's a hint of Wanted By Night here. I grabbed this only to get a discount on other frags i wanted so i wasn't expecting much. Pleasant surprise. Considering the price tag, the juice is pretty decent and it has some quality in it. You could do way worse for 20 dollars. Don't expect performance though: 4 hours max but it can get to 6 hours if you overspray it.

The scent itself is great but AB fragrances aren't good performers. Unfortunately. Although the deepest and most mature from the Icon lineup, still smells very modern and likeable

It was my first real fragrance, and it can work as a solid daily driver. Its a little basic once your palette gets more refined, but for the value it's a great scent. 7.5/10

Great, the downside it's longevity and projection, kinda weak for an average parfum. 7 out of 10, + points for the price (got 2 for the price of one).

Me gusta, es barato y no proyecta muy mal, pero el dulce q tiene luego del especiado huele a medicamento..

This is EXTREMELY similar to Givenchy Gentleman from 2017

This will be the usless review you will probably read. If Dior Sauvage edp smells similar to this then I'm glad I don't own Sauvage. The Icon has an ok smell, ambroxan, a little sweet lavander from time to time you feel it on your skin, for 15$ is ok if you want this kind of genre. I received a gift set called Rudimental Blu and it smells a lot like this on, it was bought from a supermarket so you can figure how happy I am with this blind buy purchase 😅. I don't really recommend it, I will not buy again, it will get lost in some drawer next to Brut and Crossman.

The first spray instantly reminded me of something I’ve smelled before and knew from then the performance would be below par. But considering how cheap it was I got it anyway. Later after couple of wearing it started to remind me of axe excite the one with the magenta color. It can be a nice car refreshing scent. Or for collage going guys to keep in their bag to freshen up time to time

Perfume rico, algo dulce... En mi piel no dura más de 4 a 6 horas y su proyección es moderada casi pobre... Se notan los toques florales y la pimienta... Buen perfume para uso diario... Solo lo recomiendo para eso pero sobre gustos no hay nada escrito... Quizás en calor no seria lo mejor para usar porque es algo oscura y dulce... Aroma 7/10 Duracion 6/10 Proyección 6/10
