The Icon Splendid

For some time now I wanted to find a sweet and warm scent. Generally I am not crazy about sweet vanilla scents. When The Goddess appeared and Devotion I thought: Ok, one of them. But I used so months thinking... naaaa. Somethings was not there; or maybe something that was there but I didn't like it. In the summer coincidentally I smelled this one and I couldn't believe how nice it was (I am not familiar with Banderas perfumes). Icon Splendid is a discrete, not overwhelming vanilla-ish scent that wraps you in a comfortable, classy sweetness. No candies in the bottom, no sugar. I like it a lot. I have noticed that it smell different (better?) on my hair. I love that. So I truly recommend it. And if you don't like it, well it doesn't costs a fortune like the other two I have mentioned ;)

better than the original... i love it!

I really like it it smells like a warm sweet hug perfect for the price nice and sweet on my skin I paid maybe 12 dollars I really enjoy it it’s not something new I’ve definitely smelled this dna before but a great cheapie a sweet floral nectar musky dry down

Sweet, floral, powdery scent. Longevity is moderate, more suitable for use in cold weather.

This hints at Valentino Donna Acqua in the opening.... A lovely juicy pear and a sweet, creamy nuttiness from the praline. In the dry down the rose is a bit more prominent and it veers towards Ariana Grande’s God Is A Woman. I think that overall, this bears a strong resemblance to Michael Buble’s By Invitation Rose Gold, but Icon Splendid is much nicer to my nose. It’s softer and doesn’t have the same overwhelming aroma chemicals. I’m presently surprised by this one! The original Icon is lovely but it’s too similar to Libre for my tastes but Icon Splendid is sweet, fruity and feminine. The dry down almost reminds me of YSL manifesto! I don’t really get Paradox from this as I find that one more floral, but it’s very sweet and mass appealing so it’s similar in that respect. It’s not very long lasting but it’s so inexpensive that it’s infinitely re-sprayable!

Blind bought this after reading reviews .. Cheap attempt to jump on the orange blossom/vanilla trend .. i have many cheapies that smell greal .. but this one in particular smells cheap indeed , like something u'd get off discount basket in a supermarket .. Its not bad or offensive .. Its just tooo blaaah that i regret buying , it tries so hard to be in paradoxe category but fails in even stepping a foot past paradoxe's boarders due to low quality oils and low quality alcohol content .. Again this is not bad at all , it just sits next to the rest of orangeblossom vanillas as a basic b****

Lovely creamy, fruity floral scent. Bright, girly, youthful and uplifting. Though the performance is not great you still get a very easy-to-wear, versatile and a safe blind buy perfume.

Wonderful parfum is very sweet 😋 I think is same of my way nectar
