I think this smells really nice. It seems to feel a bit feminine to me – but I wear it nonetheless. It is a light floral with a slight bit of powder. Oddly enough, I kind of understand the habit Rouge comparison, but I don’t know how or why – as I feel like HR is a fairly strong woody. Regardless, this is fairly unisex – maybe on the feminine side – but very pleasant. I’m pretty impressed with the line.

This smells one-note to me: like musk. Light with poor longevity.
There’s nothing offensive about it, it’s clean. Not really ‘black’ or ‘dark,’ not sure why they named it ‘black platinum.’
Reminds me a lot of a cheaper version of Narciso Rodriguez for Her.
UPDATE: I got an unsolicited compliment about this.

I couldn’t i.d. a single note in this. Well blended composition. “What IS this!?” I asked myself. Its opening made me smile. It quickly softens, maybe a little too much for this guy, but I have to say this is a favorite of mine from this Icon collection. How BIG a bottle I get is the only question I think…

This is a great perfume at a great price—it’s my favorite from this collection. It’s peppery yet sweet and milky (in a weird diluted way, maybe it’s the amber + white flower + cactus water), reminds me of Hermessence Poivre Samarcande a little (not a replacement though, of course).
Some days it smells perfect and I wonder how is it ever this cheap at retail, but some days it smells really odd…There’s a weird plastic-like bitterness that pops up here and there; I supposed it’s the fake moss, leather accord, and again, cactus (whatever that smells like) :/
