The story behind the bottle.
Icon by Aaron Terence Hughes was launched in 2025 as a unisex fragrance that embodies the brand’s commitment to ethical practices and exceptional craftsmanship. The composition opens with a vibrant blend of Blood Mandarin and Italian Lemon, creating an immediate sense of freshness and brightness. This citrusy top note is balanced by the warmth of sandalwood and cedarwood, along with the softness of vanilla and amber, which anchor the fragrance in a cozy, powdery base. Lavender adds a subtle aromatic touch, while sea salt introduces a mineral edge that keeps the scent from becoming too sweet.
One to two sprays are sufficient — the citrus notes fade within an hour, but the powdery woods and vanilla linger for hours. This fragrance reads better close to skin than from across a room, so apply directly onto pulse points for maximum impact.
