Performance is also good with about 8 hours, where the Sillage the first hours is very good. Also the further time over very closely well perceptible. Just think of taking a fresh shower and mix it with some Invictus....simple as that - clean, inoffensive, and nice. It wont blow doors open or make people gasp,,,but it will not bother anyone and if anything, if you put too much on you will smell like you used too much shower gel etc!

On the Interweb some people and communities claim that this fragrance reminds of Invictus Aqua 2016.First of all: He doesn't have much to do with the rest of the icons or even the original. More in the direction of day scent a la Versace pour Homme Dylan Blue. Thus this icon goes with the trend and appeals to a younger audience and fits almost exclusively to a casual look. This should probably also be the target group. Niche freaks and men in the Business Look will probably rather not like.

For me, Icon Racing Red EDP smells like driving a convertible along a winding road through a sub-tropical forest, the trees rich with oranges basking in warm sunlight. I was increasingly able to free myself from the false association with Invictus Aqua and became more open to new insights. And on a long evening, more precisely in the middle of the night during a walk, I suddenly found it: The scent has something slightly addictive, beguiling about it that I was familiar with. Something that you have to let work longer to deal with it I find. The admittedly really horny bottle, visually as well as haptically, I think fits to almost every other fragrance better. British Racing Green? That would have been really perfect with the original icon, it reminds me pretty much of Green Irish Tweed ;) (Does anyone think so like me?)It starts fresh and tangy with bergamot and grapefruit. Especially the herb-fresh grapefruit note I find very successful and just the right thing for warmer days. A sweet lavender note is added, which accompanies this fresh creation in a pleasant and modern way. The spice is discreet with a light pepper note and a nice sweet-spicy cardamom note. The creation keeps itself very balanced. A great mixture of bitter-fresh, citric, sweet, spicy and fruity. The synthetics resonate here, but I don't find them exaggerated or annoying. The base is very soft with beautiful guaiac wood with musk and vetiver. Pleasantly fading away. Overall very harmonious creation, which will bring some compliments. Not among the niche lovers, but in the usual environment. Particularly suitable for everyday use, as it is pleasantly fresh and the big extraordinary highlights are missing.
