The story behind the bottle.
Icon Racing by Alfred Dunhill is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men, launched in 2017 and crafted by perfumer Laurent Le Guernec. It opens with the bright zest of grapefruit and bergamot, balanced by the aromatic freshness of lavender and cardamom. The heart introduces orange blossom and pepper, adding layers of warmth and spiciness before settling into a base of musk, guaiac wood, and vetiver. This composition captures the essence of modern sophistication, blending crisp citrus with woody depth.
Start with one spray to the chest; the citrus top notes are bright but fade after about two hours. The musky base notes will linger, so this fragrance is best for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet confident presence.
