Dunhill is the luxury goods house behind this 2017 release, bringing their heritage of British craftsmanship and refined masculine style to the racing world. Icon Racing channels the brand's focus on quality and sophistication rather than flashy sportiness.

Icon Racing opens with bergamot and grapefruit brightened by cardamom spice, creating an immediate citrus-aromatic impression. The heart develops a clean lavender-orange blossom accord with black pepper adding a subtle bite, keeping things fresh and herbaceous. The base settles into guaiac wood and vetiver with a whisper of musk, grounding the composition in woody warmth without heaviness. The overall profile is a balanced green aromatic that avoids being either purely fresh or entirely spiced, landing instead in that competent middle ground where citrus and woody elements support each other equally.

This fragrance suits someone who appreciates straightforward, well-made scents without pretension. It works well for daytime wear and professional settings where you want something present but not demanding. Icon Racing aligns with The Tactician, The Homesteader, and The Aristocrat scent DNA profiles.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Cardamom
Cardamom
Aromatic, warm, and slightly eucalyptus-like with a spiced green freshness that is entirely its own. Cardamom is one of the most elegant spice notes in perfumery, exotic without being heavy, warm without being sweet. It appears frequently in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances and modern masculine compositions.
Grapefruit
Grapefruit
Bittersweet and juicy with a faintly metallic zing that sets it apart from sweeter citrus notes. Grapefruit is uniquely energising, it reads as clean and modern rather than traditionally 'citrusy.' It pairs effortlessly with musks, making it a staple of office-safe, all-day fragrances.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
Pepper
Pepper
The most essential spice note in perfumery, encompassing the dry, woody heat of black pepper and its many relatives. Pepper adds edge, lift, and a masculine vitality to fragrances without sweetness. It is the note that stops a composition from feeling comfortable and safe, adding a confident, assertive character.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Guaiac Wood
Guaiac Wood
Smoky, slightly rosy, and dry, guaiac wood has a gentle, transparent smokiness that doesn't overwhelm. It's often used to add a campfire-distant quality to woody or oriental fragrances without going full leather or incense. One of perfumery's more understated and quietly beautiful materials.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
