≈ $50 · 100ml · approx. retail

Dunhill's flagship modern signature scent, an aromatic-woody built around Italian bergamot and neroli fused with black pepper, cardamom and Provence lavender over a leathery vetiver-oud base. Positioned as the brand's answer to the 2010s wave of premium woody-aromatic masculines, it anchored an entire Icon sub-collection (Elite, Racing, Absolute).
