In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Icon Racing Blue by Alfred Dunhill is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. Icon Racing Blue was launched in 2021. Top notes are Lime, Bergamot and Ambroxan; middle notes are Sea Salt, Cardamom, Neroli and Coriander; base notes are Driftwood, Ambergris, Sandalwood and Patchouli.

Reviews →

Solvento opens with sharp lemon leaf and coarse sea salt that cut through humid July air. As the top notes settle, quiet white tea and earthy sage emerge over a dry base of driftwood and ambroxan. It stays airy on skin, making it an easy pick for casual daytime errands and warm office settings.
