The more I use this scent the more I like it. I appreciate the fact that it's not a very well known fragrance because I don't smell like everyone else when I use it.
I think this stuff smells great! Very complex and dry to me, I really get a retro vibe. Never been a Dunhill fan before but this is by far the best I've found by them- hope they do things like shampoo, stick deodorant, and aftershave balm with this. Bravo.
I'd be so thankful if you happen to read and answer this to me As a 29 y.o guy who has newly got into the world of fragrances as a collector, but he is on a budget... He has an azzaro chrome flanker, he has an f by ferragamo black, he has an police pure london, a dunhill pursuit and a zippo original; which one do you think he should buy first (for upcoming fall and winter) : Dunhill Icon or Bentley absolute
Sounds great! I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this but wanted to make sure you've never dated Kellie Hoover? BTW, tell your sister I love her earnings! Awesome review!
This starts off citrusy for me but then begins to smell like Welch’s grape soda after about two hours. BTW - This fragrance lasts about 8 hrs on my skin.
Awesome review mate, as always! HAHAHA! :-) So funny... Another funny thing: on me, this baby lasts about 20 hours or so. And I have a skin that devours frags mercilessly...
Great content. You really know what you are talking about, I learn a lot. Also, it seems we have much the same preferances when it comes to styles and fragrance notes. Jeremy Fragrance is a great entertainer, but I can not take serious an expert that has Invictus, Jean Paul Gaultier le male, and ysl la nuit as some of his favorites. Round of with a well ment advice : I would consider changing name of the channel, from a marketing perspective. I'd include your real name, build your personal brand, I'd skip include the word 'smelly' ( a word with negative konotations) I'd drop your birth year (this is not MSN chat anno 2001) But then again, it's your show : do whatever the hell you want 😉
I’m a brand new subscriber to your channel though I’ve been watching your videos for the past few weeks. I’m greatly enjoying your very informative and ‘on point’ reviews and I especially appreciate your great sense of humour. My favourite Dunhill is their 1934 release, ‘Dunhill For Men,’ closely followed by the aforementioned ‘Edition’ (1984). As a longtime pipe smoker, I have always loved the Dunhill brand with its timeless evocation of traditional British elegance. Dunhill products are renowned for their uncompromising quality, but it is true that their fragrance releases in the last three decades have been abysmal disappointments. Fortunately, with the introduction of ‘Icon’, it seems that all past sins are forgiven.Thank you for introducing me to ‘Icon’-your review has piqued my curiosity. I am fond of neroli, so I think I will pursue this one. You have the most hilariously inventive intros and I also like the variations on the musical theme. And of course, as always, great review! You’ve got it all, mate. Cheers!🍻
Those intros make you legendary among reviewers. You always set a creative "icebreaker" to make people laugh before anything and that is an amazing leading into your detailed and thorough reviews. Kudos, man. Thumbs up all the way. (I laughed so hard after seeing why the "kids patted you on the back." Lololololololololololol.)
Very entertaining, mate! Well done. My thoughts are spot on with yours. Citrus and woody. I just picked this up as a gift set w a 100ml bottle, 90ml after shave and shower gel, and a 30ml edp travel spray for $38 US. Proper. Let me just say this is a VERY good scent. Very unique and can very well be a signature scent. Most likely won’t be mine, but I do rather enjoy it. Very clean, fresh scent with absolutely NO sweetness. To me that’s a good thing although 2 of my favorites are YSL L’homme and La Nuit, so it’s a nice contrast. This is a very manly, timeless scent. Made for the confident and dapper gentlemen. I would compare this to Chanel blue and Allure sport
I’ll be honest at first whiff I’m not understanding the cult hype. It’s kind of nauseating for me. I’m gonna hold on to it for awhile I’m really hoping it grows on me
Wtf?? I just blind bought this for £37 for 100ml from notino and it’s absolute drek!! I get zero citrus or bright notes and it smells feck all like tdh which is a masterpiece. All I get from this is black pepper and sage and it comes off like some 80’s throwback like Kouros watered down with soapy water it’s absolutely dreadful. Luckily the performance is a joke which saved me having to scrub it. The only thing iconic about this is the faux engine turned bottle. Fragrance 1/10 Presentation 10/10
dan, can you tell what melody is at the end of the video ... wanna play it and listen to it over youtube .... thanks a million times again and greetings from czech republic ....
Just found and got shower gel and aftershave balm on ebay. All day while wearing this I kept thinking I'd smelled something very similar recently but couldn't place it, then it came to me --- Terre d' Hermes! Just something similar in overall presentation, but I've always disliked Terre d' Hermes while I love Icon. Side by side it's like Icon is everything Terre tries to be but fails. Really one of the best recent scents I've found.
Another great video! I am actually considering this one since I saw Freddy's video on his spring designer list. Love the humor in your videos were well done. S
+iREVIEWitALL Thanks a lot. I think this is a really good scent. It's a shame it's not easy to find in stores with a tester so it has to be a blind buy for many people unless they order a sample.....
+8rk7 That's what I've been telling her! Thanks for watching. Off to watch your latest vid now! I do like this one but haven't quite decided exactly what situation it works best for yet.
Really enjoy your reviews and I get a laugh from each one. Thanks. I had gone off Dunhill as very synthetic in their releases (as you say this century) and avoid them now but will see if I can source this for a sniff!!
+1928flash Thanks that means a lot to me. The general consensus is that this one is a qualitative step up for Dunhill. I would say it's worth a sniff for sure and the bottle is a collector's must have.
+MrSmelly1977 bought it and love it. The bergamot does have a skittles kind of vibe but strangely it works great on this. What other fragrances would you recommend checking out and for the upcoming warmer days? Thanks for the tip
+Filipe Oliveira Glad you like it. Right now I'm exited about Mancera Cedrat Boise. Perfect fresh woody scent for spring/summer. Al Haramain's L'Aventure is a great inexpensive Aventus clone great for day or night this time of year.
I don't own Terre d'hermes. Dunhill Icon has decent longevity and projection in my opinion. Not amazing but good. That's pretty much the consensus form other reviews too. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment.
Wonderful review Mr. Smelly! Great scent I bought the 2 oz travel bottle with rechargers in Marshalls for 30 US! Wow talk about bang for buck for an instant classic.

Always love your reviewing style! Thanks for posting this
For fresh scent, its absolutely amazing and very modern.
+AGentlemansJourney Thanks I agree. I will also put a link to the review you did with Cascade Scents in my description. Nice job.
thank you kindly.
It’s about as modern as pac-man.
The more I use this scent the more I like it. I appreciate the fact that it's not a very well known fragrance because I don't smell like everyone else when I use it.

+Kevin Mccoy I got mine in a gift set with aftershave balm. It smells just like the fragrance. I'm still l I got this one. Thanks for the comment. .

Dunhill icon has this old school barbershop freshness, do you know other fragrances with the same vibe? I really like it!
Ahahaha wow the little cuts to pictures of the things you're talking about hilarious great
Fantastic reviews man. Scents with a sense of humour! :D
+Ritch Flynn Thanks very much. I will keep them coming!
Sounds great! I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this but wanted to make sure you've never dated Kellie Hoover? BTW, tell your sister I love her earnings! Awesome review!

+michaelcochrane6060 Thanks Michael. I really am glad people like these!
:DDD gianna michaels, lovely :D
Awesome review mate, as always! HAHAHA! :-) So funny...
Another funny thing: on me, this baby lasts about 20 hours or so. And I have a skin that devours frags mercilessly...

You’ve got it all, mate. Cheers!🍻
Hey Dan, have you tried Dunhill British Leather?
dunhill icon elite flanker has just been announced. It's the 2nd or 3rd flanker of this already! Have you gotten around smelling flankers of this?
I love the whiffs I get from this stuff. New subscriber. You're different 👍
Thanks a lot Erik. Much appreciated.
Someone on fragrantica reckoned if was reformulated in 2016 and not very good after. Anyone heard same?
Those intros make you legendary among reviewers. You always set a creative "icebreaker" to make people laugh before anything and that is an amazing leading into your detailed and thorough reviews. Kudos, man. Thumbs up all the way. (I laughed so hard after seeing why the "kids patted you on the back." Lololololololololololol.)
Your a Genius 👍🏼😎
I’m super curious now, what career are you in?
I've got the sample of this, mate. But how come Dunhill London made in USA :|
Edwien Gusmantara lol😂
Very entertaining, mate! Well done. My thoughts are spot on with yours. Citrus and woody.

Great review! Which is better as clean office fragrance Prada lHomme or Icon?
I’ll be honest at first whiff I’m not understanding the cult hype.
It’s kind of nauseating for me.
I’m gonna hold on to it for awhile I’m really hoping it grows on me
If the color purple had a smell, this would be it. It's an awsome different smelling cologne.
Wtf?? I just blind bought this for £37 for 100ml from notino and it’s absolute drek!! I get zero citrus or bright notes and it smells feck all like tdh which is a masterpiece.

Fragrance 1/10
Presentation 10/10
dan, can you tell what melody is at the end of the video ... wanna play it and listen to it over youtube .... thanks a million times again and greetings from czech republic ....
Theme from Van der Vaulk (UK 70s TV series)
amazing review wow
+bob bob Thankyou I appreciate that a lot!
I can remember watching this when you first released it. wow, how time flys.
Just found and got shower gel and aftershave balm on ebay. All day while wearing this I kept thinking I'd smelled something very similar recently but couldn't place it, then it came to me --- Terre d' Hermes! Just something similar in overall presentation, but I've always disliked Terre d' Hermes while I love Icon. Side by side it's like Icon is everything Terre tries to be but fails. Really one of the best recent scents I've found.
+Kevin Mccoy yes! Spot on. Many have compared this to terre d'hermes. But this seems a little brighter in the opening and I refer it overall too.
Thanks for reminding me about the Van Der Valk theme!
Hahahahhahaahahahahah man I love your reviews 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hahahahahahahaahaaaaaa I laughed so much that my Stomach Hurt...This review is the best......You are funny as hell !!!
Another great video! I am actually considering this one since I saw Freddy's video on his spring designer list. Love the humor in your videos were well done. S
+iREVIEWitALL Thanks a lot. I think this is a really good scent. It's a shame it's not easy to find in stores with a tester so it has to be a blind buy for many people unless they order a sample.....
A great scent. Tempted to wear it tomorrow after watching this. That supermarket girl is in the wrong industry!
+8rk7 That's what I've been telling her! Thanks for watching. Off to watch your latest vid now! I do like this one but haven't quite decided exactly what situation it works best for yet.

really amazing that you can speak so that lips and sound are not in sync?
you are a legend looool love your intros but more importantly your tastes in fragrances
Such a innocent Mr Smelly here
Your humor makes this video 😂
You sound English ...
He's a Londoner.
Very good work! Keep the videos coming. Subscribing right away!
+Alexis LUCE Thanks a lot. Great to have another subscriber and some positive feedeback!
2:55 no one gonna talk about that 😂
Very Nice Review!!
2:32 delightful funeral music
I like your style, nice touch with the added info on the company, perfumier et al
Thanks a lot. I'm really glad you liked it and it's good to know which things people like about the vids!
Just saw you in the Fragcomm UK group, good to have you on board :)
Great review! Lol Will blind buy this and hopefully won't regret it. Keep it up.
+Filipe Oliveira Thanks a lot. I will keep em coming. I think you will probably like this fragrance as it's very solid .
+MrSmelly1977 bought it and love it. The bergamot does have a skittles kind of vibe but strangely it works great on this. What other fragrances would you recommend checking out and for the upcoming warmer days? Thanks for the tip

Do you get the same perfomance as terre d' hermes ?
I don't own Terre d'hermes. Dunhill Icon has decent longevity and projection in my opinion. Not amazing but good. That's pretty much the consensus form other reviews too. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment.
+MrSmelly1977 cheers mate !
Another great , funny vid👍🏻 . Keep them coming
Wonderful review Mr. Smelly! Great scent I bought the 2 oz travel bottle with rechargers in Marshalls for 30 US! Wow talk about bang for buck for an instant classic.

+briggsy 63 Thanks a lot. You've very kind. I owe Greg one for mentioning me!
Young people don't go even near it, it smells like 80's barbershop.
I'm 18 years old and I have it 🤷🏻♂️
