Description
Iceberg presents a new fragrant duo EAU DE ICEBERG which can be expected on the market in November 2010. The fragrance is characterized by innovative design and by number 74 stretching over the glass flacon and suggests the year when the brand was founded (1974).
Iceberg Eau de Iceberg Pour Femme and Eau de Iceberg Pour Homme offer new fragrant experience touched with Italian sense of style and sporty-elegant concept. The pair is urban, modern, elegant, with lush notes and refreshing trail.
Fans of vetiver and citruses combination will be delighted with Eau de Iceberg Pour Homme. Its composition is light and luminous from the very beginning. Calabrian bergamot is playing with grapefruit and radiant lemon. A heart is filled with nuances of vetiver, labdanum and violet leaves, resting on a base of amber and musk. Edition for men is available as 100ml EDT.
The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Feisthauer.

Pleasant woody citrus with soft white musk. Nothing earth-shattering. Longevity is among the shortest I have ever experienced. I say, take advantage of the very low current retail price, slip it into your man-bag and use it like body spray throughout the day in hot weather.

Lovely juice and cool looking bottle design.Very fresh at the opening,can smell bergamot and some citrus I think lemon,smells,maybe orange,very pleasant and dries down to a light woody but still fresh scent.
The only drawback is it isn’t that strong after an hour and it doesn’t seem to hold so after 1 – 2 hours it’s barely a skin scent shame really.So use many sprays,double spray everywhere you’ll need to.
If you can get it very cheap it may be worth it for around the house or office but Iceberg Twice is a different story lasting 24 hours,

i bought this recently based on review of Fragrantica fans. From time to time, i feel bored with floral type. Just want some fresh,green and with some depth.
Woody aromatic is a nice choice. This 74 or 47 is good for the scent but the longevity is too weak. Lasting on me within 3 hours. Surely i see for better staying power, price will go up.
However it’s still worth buying simply as a elegent cologne. The scent is nice. Imagine Hermes famous Terre is a guy ages 35-50.This is his 20-30 period.

Having worn Eau de Iceberg Homme a couple of times, I would agree with what reviewer ‘teadot’ wrote: “Not for younger, energetic tastes”.
At my first wear, it might have been the violet note that fooled me into thinking of it as a sparkly, fresh, rich scent. It is actually a very woody, distinctively resin scent (most likely due to benzoin – listed as ‘amber’ here -and labdanum).
I prefer my scents to have at least a hint of freshness – I guess that makes me feel good about myself (think clean, fresh, neat).
+ classy
+ natural (and very much so)
+ elegant, serious
+ good longevity, controlled projection
+ doesn’t smell alcoholic even right after application
+ unlikely to offend
– not fresh, not stereotypically ‘clean’ to my nose.
– if you’re like me, it leave you feeling a little ‘stale’ when others around you are wearing fresher scents
It’s a quality smell without a doubt. I didn’t feel good wearing it though.

I get this juice through a special online-shop offers a package EDT and body shower gel (..another blind-buy..).
Appropriately used as conditioning on a hot day, it contains lemon, alittle bit of violet with nuances of vetiver. As a mood-uplifting liquid in times of ‘stress’, this is a great juice with a good price, …absolutely!

Clean and smooth…
Eau de Iceberg is (basically) clean and lemony vetiver over labdanum. Not that complex, but quite well done. There’s a labdanum-rich viscosity, that allows for multi-season use; and the citrus is quite natural. The particular labdanum here, throws a thin swath of grey leather onto the lemon soapiness in the “mid”; and is what gives this likeable but straight forward composition, some character. Although not enough, perhaps. But still a rather relaxing and very wearable clean scent with mild projection and good longevity on me. Not for younger energetic tastes. .
The extremely affordable price certainly adds to it’s appeal. Not a jump up for joy discovery, but certainly a gently uplifting “cheapie” that’s worth more than it’s price tag.

I received a bottle as a Christmas present from my sister. On my skin it starts with a citrus-y blast, which quickly turns to violet. The vetiver is present. However, it is hardly noticeable. A pity really, since the overall scent is pleasant but not long-lasting. I cease to smell the scent after 30 minutes.
Today I decided to layer it with Zara’s vetiver, both on my skin and my t-shirt. It lasted for about 3 hours before I have to re-apply.
2.75 stars out of 5. If it lasted longer I would have given it a 4.

I absolutely love this one! It makes me feel so fresh and clean. Even though it’s not overwhelming, the longevity is amazing!
nikitos336 – :
quite dissapointing. Slightly citrussy, clean and fresh but no longevity whatsoever. I have to bath myself in it in order to notice it and quite often I have to en up aplying some CK One on top.
Plainnyjamjem – :
Opens very fresh and citrussy, floral and very nice. The drydown stays fresh and the violet carries the scent quite nicely. If only it was more potent and had better projection – it could be almost as fresh as Cerutti 1881. However, this is an inexpensive scent so it might be worth sampling if you are into very fresh citrussy/musky scents. In fact, I might get it meself!!

I wanted to buy in in Christmas kit for my dad but I didn´t ( now I regret). In the beginning I thought it´s overpowering and old-fashioned because I smelled just sage and herbs but it was labdanum! Nice, masculine scent!
nzi260speagoessenda – :
This is a beautiful, elegant and well constructed scent. It lasts 4-6 hours but has very minimal sillage.
It opens with a citrus cocktail; juicy bergamot, soapy lemon and a tinge of bitter grapefruit. At this stage the scent has it’s strongest sillage on me.
Give it an hour and it starts to get a little greener and slightly powdery. There’s a touch of vetiver but it’s not too strong. As mentioned below, the labdanum really takes the stage here. It’s slightly resinous, twiggy and creamy at the same.
To draw a comparison I would say this is similar to Infusion d’Homme, D&G Masculine and the Comme des Garcons Cologne series. I don’t think it could offend anyone and my only wish is that it had better sillage.

Totally agree with Vertigo in that this is much classier and smoother than one would expect from Iceberg, a fragrance house that has floundered for over a decade and has yet to put forth quality fragrances with any consistency. Arguably the best thing they’ve produced for men is Iceberg Twice, which was mostly unoriginal, though pleasant, and wasn’t interesting enough to stand the test of time.
So once again Iceberg returned to the chemistry lab, this time only to produce a somewhat-classic, citrus, woody-aromatic fragrance that bears no resemblance to current trends. Astonishingly, its not half bad! Subtle, smooth, appealing and fragrant, this fragrance perfectly walks to the line between powdery and woody citrus fragrances while at the same time providing an enjoyable vetiver experience. I won’t compare it to the “eau de’s” of the past nor the classic hesperdic and floral masculines of the 90s; rather, I’ll say that this fragrance is the equivalent of F Pour Homme by Ferragamo + Kenzo Pour Homme Boisee. Sparkling citrus, earthy vetiver, and powdery/creamy labdanum. Well done Iceberg…
kost2608 – :
Eau de Iceberg pour homme is a surprising woody aromatic fragrance.
Surprising because of a clear note of labdanum, which isn’t often found so strong in modern compositions. Also, it’s much more noble and elegant than it has any right to be.
I can smell a woody, earthy accord with labdanum and some citrus laid on it. The whole thing is a bit green and spicy.
The scent is linear, doesn’t change in time.
On my skin gets a little soapy and artificial (I thought of violet leaf + musk combo).
Worth trying if you are more into classic, vintage scents and you’re looking for a decent warm season fragrance.

prince64 – I’m sorry to hear Eau de Iceberg 74 doesn’t work out for you 🙁 The more I’am wearing Eau de Iceberg 74, the more I love it !! Now, I must say in spring I can sense it even better and longevity and power is greater then my first impressions…
All day long Eau de Iceberg 74 stays on me…
fghfghf – :
Today is the 3rd day I give it a try… well the fragrance is not that bad, though after one hour I cannot smell it anymore. Even people around me say the same thing: ‘it last… nothing’. I got crazy to find it, and finally I bought it online. But it’s not worth while… I’m really disappointed 🙁

I’ve always been a fan of Iceberg perfumes so I got Eau de Iceberg Pour Homme. I’m glad this “74” edition doesn’t disappoint me. It’s a fresh, clean smell, with some woody notes/vetiver/. At the beginning “74” has mostly citrus notes, after an hour, Eau de Iceberg became more balanced and elegant – the violet and amber makes the drydown perfect 🙂 Iceberg 74 is not that kind of men smell that can turn heads, but it’s a very elegant, subtle scent, perfect for a confident men – not too loud, not too sweet or sharp…I think Iceberg “74” is very close to Paco Rabanne – “Energy” or Herrera For Men… or maybe “74” have something common with Paco Rabanne XS without the vanilla…so all in all, if you want clean, elegant, smart and fresh men scent Iceberg “74” can be a great autumn/spring/summer choice!
The longevity – on my skin it stays for about 7 hours, Silage – good – it’s not an overwhelming men scent, but “74” definitely can be noticed… I’m sniffing it now and I can say “74” is a classy men scent made for you, not for the people around you…;)))
