Description
The house of Zirh presents their perfume for men, Ikon, in September 2008. It is created as a spicy blend of cardamom, ginger, Davano flowers and lemon, the heart of black cinnamon, cloves, iris root and French labdanum and the base notes are incense, cedar, patchouli, vetiver and liquid amber. The perfume was created by Frank Voelkl of Firmenich, while Chad Lavigne was in charge of the bottle design. The perfume is available as 75 and 125ml edt, with accompanying body care products, body baths, 200 ml hair and shower gel and 75 ml deo stick.
The commercial campaign was made by photographer Daniel Jackson, and the face for this perfume is David Gandy.
The name of the perfume contains the accentuated letter K in it, in order to typographically coordinate the name of the brand with the name of the perfume.

What a gem from Zirh!
This unknown cheap fragrance is one of the nicest incense smell on the market!
It’s a neat, elegant, linear, soft, very mildly-spicy incense that feels so classy & mature to wear.
When I first sprayed it on a piece of paper tissue I was disappointed. It felt so plain & soapy. I sprayed it on my wrist just because I was testing it versus Antonio Banderas’s Spirit Night Fever, who I blind-bought with Ikon. Minutes later & I was blown away! This is wonderful incense on the skin. So charming!
What a bargain!
If you like incense, this is a must try!
katan – :
First reason to love Ikon: it cost me $9.00, with shipping, for 75 ml.
Second reason to love Ikon: smells like Dunhill Edition with incense.
Third Reason: Mature, comforting, classy masculine scent in a quality bottle with nice magnetic cap- great presentation. Mysterious, dark, smokey, a little sweet.
Fourth Reason: performance is not as bad as some say. It’s on par with many modern fragrances that cost much, much more. Anecdotal, I know, but: I sprayed on the the back of my hand at 9 pm- I could still smell it after the gym at 9 am. Not bad at all.
Fifth reason: this $9 thing keeps coming back to mind- just get it! You spend more on lunch!

i love smelling incense before bed. for 10 bucks why not?

This dark and beautiful. It’s longevity is not amazing but it outshines bottles 7X it’s cost. I just got back from the mall and went from store to store repeatedly asking for what they thought their “darkest” scent was, male or female. After a disappointing journey through $90 liquid candy degeneracy, I am safely back home with this and my $18 bottle of Havana. Long live the diamonds in the rough
Joker007 – :
Bought this araound 5 years ago. I enjoy the smokey incense aroma but unfortunately after 2-3 hours I cannot smell anything else. Longevity and sillage are very poor with this fragrance. A shame since I do really like it.
Invisible0 – :
I read reviews about bad performance or sillage. In my case I disagree, because my sample is too strong. I barely wear it because just one spritz hits my nose so hard, it bothers me. The projection and sillage is too much for my brain. When I wear it, I’m constantly worried that people who smell the sillage trail would be like, “OK, who is this cruel, selfish stinkbomb?” Zirh Ikon is one of the fragrances that I had to learn to like it. I disliked it at first because I considered it a stinky fragrance. To me, it’s just too strong and smells unique to my nose…but at the same time, like something vintage and masculine. Now I appreciate it, but I believe it would offend others if worn strongly. I KNOW this bottle will last me a lot of years.
Funnily, I have bathed myself in Le Male and nobody has flinched. My skin, which naturally is very soft-smelling, tends to mute Le Male too much for some reason. Zirh Ikon? I spritz once and rub my hand all over my face and shirt. I consider it a powerhouse fragrance. Thanks for reading and may God bless you greatly!

An absolute masterpiece. 10/10 easily. Not for the faint of heart or those that only like light citrus. The best, most modern, sexy, deepest, and clearly most mysterious of the zirh scents. All of the zirh scents are quality, the other 3 are more straight forward. This scent has so much more depth than the other 3. Instantly you get the cloves, followed right behind by incense, then cinnamon done well, balanced with citrus. Beautiful at first spray, through drydown and 4 hours later.
When I first smelled this scent, I bought it 3 years for the first time at age 32, I instantly fell in love with it. This scent along with CK Dark Obsession and Mandarina Duck Black all have that incredible, sexy, mesmerizing smell to them, that says instantly, I want and need to have sex right now. Zirh Ikon is incredible………
die3el – :
IKON is simply a gorgeous and mysterious scent. If only it lasted and projected better it could be one of my favourites. It opens aromatic and spicy, but it is dark already, it is a pitch black scent throughout its whole short lifespan. By the time it evolves into the woody incense base it is nearly gone. I would love to experience it longer. I think it is time to take it out and use it on my hair where it lasts longer than on my skin. Interesting and elegant composition, serene and dark. It doesn’t suit a casual clothing and it would feel very off with light colours. Whether you are male or female, dress up in black, be very dapper, and then, with the proper attitude, you can sport it. My black little heart enjoys this a lot.
sfs711Diobtetty – :
This reminds me of Dia man from Amouage.
In both of them, I am really only able to pick up the incense and cardamom on me.
Performance wise, Dia man is better, but only by a couple hours.
For the price, this stuff is great, awesome blind buy.
vadaseya – :
It’s a dark, moody, brooding scent. However, it is quite light. It’s a good fragrance for introverts, because it’s very quiet and calming. The kind of fragrance you may want to wear at home alone while reading a book, or working on a project. Not for people who wear fragrances to get compliments.
If you’re in Canada you may still be able to find this at some Shoppers Drug Mart locations. $9.99 for 125ml.
PS: smelling this again, this fragrance would be right at home within the John Varvatos line.
GNKmc – :
The opening is Irish Spring. Irish Spring hitting you in the face for 2 hours, whereupon, the incense starts to show up faintly, very faintly. If you want to smell like Irish Spring, I suppose, for the price, this is an ok EDT. If you’re looking for spice and incense, look elsewhere.

Ok smelling but awful performance
sss71.71 – :
Received my bottle yesterday. First impression is a mild peppery smell and nothing else. Six sprays over 3 hours on my arm I cannot smell it with my arm outstretched. Terrible sillage, no presence, I can’t smell it unless my arm is two inches from my nose. After reading the other reviews I’m assuming I received a bad batch. Fortunately I bough it for less than $12.00.
agony – :
An inexpensive hyper clean smelling incense with an odd peppery slightly soapy drydown. Sort of azzaro visit meets sander’s scent 79 “eau fresh”.
There is the slightest bit of a “dandy” quality emanating from this as if the barber has just finished hot toweling you from a good shave. Sort of a slightly vintage clean laundry/towel affair. I think the wormwood should be much closer to the top of the scent profile.
For the money you could do much worse. It isn’t earth shattering but it isn’t painful either.
So in summary it is a safe, office friendly, inoffensive fragrance that is certainly masculine.
12 quid for 4.2oz. If you like it, that is a very good deal, if not you aren’t out much for a pleasant air freshener!
5.75/10

Where is the Zirh Pure Ikon page?
putinka91 – :
This fume is surprisingly well crafted for the $15 I dropped on it many moons ago. It gives off a tempting burnt leather and incense vibe to start that slowly mixes with a smoked amber and labdanum note over its long life. It is also a bit spicy and resinous in its presentation – no notes truly reveal themselves as it is quite “blended” yet surprisingly smooth and rich. I highly doubt there is real orris in here as it would be outrageously priced, but the effect is present by giving a rich and warm accent to the amber and spices. This vaguely reminds me of Bvlgari Black with its smoked rubber/incense/tea note mixed with a richly sweet base – Black goes the way of rich and creamy vanilla in the drydown whereas Ikon remains more masculine in its rich, spiced amber drydown. I also feel that Black’s top notes hold the rubber/smoke note that burns off after an hour or two and Ikon’s smokiness lasts thlthrough the heart notes. Like many have said before, this is an absolute treat at this price and you would be hard pressed to find a better way to spend $13 for a 4oz bottle! I wish you all the best in your life and may you find your dreams infinitely easier to achieve!

I think this is a great unisex scent- Not too masculine, but satisfies my need for cedar–
azkamran – :
I don’t love it but I really do like this one. And for the price you pay, it really is a no brainer to have in your collection. At minimum it can be that bottle that you spray liberally when you want something spicy and masculine on. I personally think it is flexible enough to wear out on a date but also to go grocery shopping. It’s solid but not sophisticated. This is a good winter fragrance. Close your eyes and think of coming in out of the snow into the safe harbor of a church on a cold winter’s night. You sit down, take in the flicker of the candles and the smell of incense. Peaceful for sure.
Ella – :
excellent value for money.
seipDymnUpsep – :
A 75ml bottle for 10$ looks very attractive and I immediately grabbed it. A question still remained unanswered in my mind: why it is soooo inexpensive? Everything is nice about this.smell, presentation, bottle, packaging…all are average pessimistically.

Zirh Ikon..where have you been all my life !!!???
I received my package today….3.4 oz magnetic cap, and 6.7 oz shower gel….$13.79 shipped free. The first spray, I was like….WTF !!! Not a eat first sniff….ahhhh…but in less than 30 seconds…the MAGIC began!!. This scent just hits all the right things for me. What a surprise. I have been wearing it all day/night…and I have fallen in love with IKON. Great incense…nice sillage and very dedcent longevity so far. Years ago, I tried the first Zirh and found it ho-hum..meh….no big deal. Tried Corduroy…not bad..but never bought a bottle. So..I guess I forgot all about trying IKON. So glad that I did…!! I bought it blindly due to the mostly positive reviews here. I do not find similarities to Dirty English..at all. Who cares !! This scent to my nose is different than anything I currently own. Great fragrances do not have to cost $$$$$….and don’t have to be by niche or designer houses…to smell wonderful. I am so glad I am eclectic enough to enjoy niche,designer,celebrity…AND…cheaply priced fragrances. Like Lanier Smith on youTube says: “Wear what you love,not what they say you should like” or something like that….Ikon is now in my Top 10 list,and deservedly so.
denis-nizamov – :
I think a lot of people are put off by the cost of Ikon. This is my 2nd bottle. I got it off Ebay of $11.50 for the 4.2 oz EDT with free shipping. It has great warm incense tones, and for me the longevity is phenomenal. For fall and winter, it is a perfect scent.

به شدت بوی اسپری سبز رنگ مالزیا رو میده رایحه سدر و نعناع موج می زنه متاسفانه ازون عطرایی هستش که دوسش ندارم
samdemid – :
First hit is my high school wood shop – sensationally reminiscent. Half an hour later I’m getting sweet floral but I can’t place it. Its like gentle candy in a wooden box. This is one interesting scent so far.
A day late and its off my skin but on my shirt, the incense is obvious even if gentle.
Medzs762bedyWelty – :
Well, it’s bold – I have to give it points for that! But that huge incense note is a real turn off for me. On my skin, incense-heavy fragrances I have tried just smell… weird. There is only one exception: Tom Ford Sahara Noir.
I couldn’t live with this scent coming at me all day.
artstudio12 – :
continuo a domandarmi il motivo per il quale ho bollato questo profumo come qualcosa di inindossabile, tanto da averlo lasciato nella mia lista di scambio per mesi. poi, per caso, mi sono imbattuta nelle recensioni, e l’ho riprovato. e l’ho gradito, pure tanto. si tratta di una bazzecola, di una colonia super economica che parte in maniera estremamente mascolina con cardamomo, chiodi di garofano, note agrumate e zenzero. epperò, pazientando un pochetto, si assiste ad una evoluzione assai interessante, su incenso, vetiver e legno di cedro. le note di fondo, benchè ambrate e resinose, mantengono un insieme di freschezza che perdura per ore. molto buono!
kami47 – :
Haven’t been able to tell about this one since i’m a perfume addict who is looking for the best perfumes such as chanel, thierry Mugler, Hermes, Hugo Boss etc…
Zihr Ikon was one of my first ones and to be honest I have totally forgot about it because of the low price :/
It’s a shame cause this perfume is stronger than the brands I called above…
This stuff is strong, my sister gave it to me when I was young as a teenager :P, but it worked very well!
9/10
strelec788 – :
Let’s be honest here, most of the people giving Zirth Ikon negative reviews are doing so just because of it’s low price point. This scent is better than many of my pricier bottles and I almost always keep it in rotation on my favorites shelf. When you first wear Ikon, it tricks you as feeling nothing that special, but If you keep coming back off and on within a 6 month span, it will slowly begin to reveal it’s secrets. Trust me. This is my number one Christmas/holiday fragrance, just edging out Michael Kors (MKM) by a hair.

Terrible blind buy. Reminded me of the spinach smell in an old scratch and sniff book I had as a kid. As Popeye said…I’m strong to the finish, cause I eats me spinach…but Zirh Ikon’s not for me.
Tuerhjggh – :
Blind buy, 125ml for 20$ with 100ml body gel.
How it goes on my skin:
Opening: cinnamon, ginger and lemon
After 5 minutes: incense, cardamon, labdanium, ginger, lemon, cinnamon, moderate projection
Half an hour: incense, cardamon, amber
One hour till the end (around 4-5 hours ): cardamon cardamon cardamon, incense, cedar, a little bit of vetiver
Price – 10/10
Longevity – Moderate
Sillage – Moderate
Satisfaction – 7/10
Dark and smoky, fall/winter scent, it’s too heavy for me to use during a day, only for nights, I love to spray it on my wrists before I go to sleep 🙂 I’ve never had incense & cardamon perfume combination before, but I must say as a blind buy it was totally worth it.
Perfect combination: dark suit, white shirt, glass of whisky, cigar, leather armchair and a fireplace – gives you that aura of mystery and good taste, feels good 😉

Saturday:
Damn my fragrance robbing skin!!!!
I lathered this stuff on me tonight (in the privacy of my own home), and even so, it’s gone in three hours… skin scent at best, and proper skin scent, nose rammed into my arm gives me a bit of ‘old fire’… and if I stuff my head down my t-shirt, I get a little bit of lemony sherbet. Just.
Tomorrow I’m thinking maybe I’ll go nuclear with this one – blast half a bottle on me to see if that makes even the slightest bit of a difference. Maybe that’ll teach my useless exodermis…
Sunday
So after the gym, I returned home and showered, and as I had promised myself, I then went absolutely bonkers… I just sprayed, sprayed and sprayed.
In total I put 40 spays on my chest and neck. Then 6 on each wrist. 5 mins later, I repeated. That’s over 100 presses of the trigger.
After 10 mins I could smell nothing…. So I found my youngest daughter and asked her “can you smell my perfume?”. She looked troubled. “I’m not sure what it’s meant to smell like, so I don’t know if I can smell it or not”, she replied.
90 mins later, over lunch, I asked my eldest if she could smell my perfume. She couldn’t, not until I put my arm right up against her nose… “Yes, I think I can smell it now”. She said..
Conclusion: This stuff is junk on my skin… Or maybe I just didn’t apply with sufficient energy. Perhaps it needs 200 sprays in oder to get a little bit of silage.
BTW bought this at TKMaxx yesterday. So maybe it’s a duff batch? Whatever, it’s dead to me now.
RaSTa_FaR_I – :
awesome for a cold fall day , smokey and spicy comforting in the cold last a long time on me i put it on 9 hours ago and i still smell it , cant get enough of the smell of this one
lvx132JeomiWogkig – :
I have been trying a number of men’s scents and I bought this based on the reviews here. The first spray is like a nose singed heavy lime scent that stayed for about an hour. After that the lime faded away (thank goodness) and I got a faint incense scent that lasted for about a couple more hours and then was gone. A bit disappointed, but once past the nose burning lime it was quite nice.
volchara – :
Nice little Christmasy scent that flirts with connotations of midnight mass. You’d swear there’s a hint of evergreen in this mash up, but regardless the vibe is there nontheIess. I get a slight hint of Narsisco Rodreigaz For Him mixed with a stick of Big Red, black liquorish and incense laced fir. All this in a moderate and classy tone without coming off too mainstream. It really is nice for what you pay. I can see myself taking my family Christmas lighting and drinking hot chocolate while wearing this refined and interesting fragrance.
Great bottle and presentation at a phenomenal price point. Quality wise, Zirth Ikon smells just about as good as any overpriced bottle of Chanel on the market. An absolute safe blind buy.
ageev1985 – :
Incense, Incense, Incense and a bit more of Incense:D But it is nothing wrong though.It has good longetivity, projection is just enough. I would say this has a deal of elegance to it. I could easily imagine tie and white shirt on somebody who is wearing this.But…Although having a bottle for some time now, i rarely use it. Almost identical is Juicy Couture’s Dirty English. And not only DE has a badass name. It is more complex, more refined somehow with a hint of fruity note. In short- suits me better. So if You miss some twists in Ikon- try Dirty English.
myn271Unlogrere – :
Nice if one likes lots of spicy ginger with a hint of smoke, a very fresh scent that is clean and uncomplicated, decent longevity and sillage, quite a good buy for the price.

Transapien: I hope you didn’t think my earlier post claimed it smelt like ENCRE NOIR. I only suggested that they were 2 of the best value for money dark scents out there (both with great dark bottles).
You’re absolutely right, IKON ZIRH smells nothing like ENCRE NOIR, but I think they’re both excellent.

This is a great Incense scent and garners many compliments. Smoked incense and spices, along with ginger make this really seductive. Lasts long and projects well. The best part its under 20 dollars!
8.5/10
vsemrad – :
Ignore the snobs – Zirh Ikon is an excellent cardamom-gingery scent with a cedary incense base. I have tried (and own) a large number of niche and other high-end fragrances and Ikon still smells great to me. And the bottle is remarkable – heavy glass with a superb cap and an excellent sprayer. How they manage all of this at the price is beyond me.
Ikon reminds me of YSL La Nuit de L’Homme with less cardamom and more incense. I am wearing it now and it is charming me, even alongside all my bottles of Serge Lutens, Chanel, Hermes, Atelier, and Guerlain.
saw289speagoessenda – :
This is a fragrance that continues to get mixed reviews – understandably so.
I think the most important thing to remember about Zirh Ikon is that despite all the quality incense releases at the higher end of design and niche sectors in recent years, there is still scope for a fragrance to appeal to people who are still on the fence about this note and don’t want to go to CDG Avignon or Tom Ford Sahara Noir, etc. yet. Indeed, even quite experienced fragrance buyers are often quite wary of incense that can often come across as being quite ‘churchy’ as well. That is where Ikon comes in.
Of course, by the title alone it suggests a possible allusion to the Orthodox Christian experience of incense – but I find no real commonality with CDG’s famed reference to Orthodox incense in their Zagorsk fragrance. Instead, this dries down after an initially very smoky feel to a spicy and vetiver infused incense scent which is really quite pleasant and restrained. This could easily be a young man’s incense fragrance, a man who is wary of smelling like a Cardinal just after High Mass. It can be easily worn socially, comfortable in any setting, with just the right level of decorum for a good woody spicy fragrance.
This fragrance is definitely worth trying if you are just starting to get your head around incense fragrances but don’t want to spend much yet. Its only real drawback is that its longevity is only moderate while its reasonably strong initial projection – at least to me – limits any real possibility of increasing the number of sprays. A performance dilemma for this otherwise very good fragrance.

i been using this for 2 months and i must say it’s very good for the price…
first i don’t like opening, but after 10 minutes it’s really get’s swett smoky.

sty447elipseskism – :
I’ve been testing this one out lately. I heard that it was reformulated and the newest batches don’t have magnetic cap. Well, the one that I’ve tested didn’t have the magnetic cap…
Actually it was very spicy and aromatic on me. There was a huge load of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and ginger. That lasted about 3 hours and dried down into a woody scent. After 6 hours it vanished completely…
I was kinda disappointed because I expected Ikon to be a spicy-smoky fragrance. It was only spicy…

امروز 26 دی 92 هستش . میخوام یه توضیحاتی بدم اما نه فقط درباره ی این ادکلن چون این دومین کامنت منه ذیل این صفحه و قبلاً درباره ی آیکون نوشتم . یه نکته ای هست درباره ی نت های عطر . این که سه نت شامل بالایی یا اول ، میانی یا دوم ، و اصلی ، پایینی یا سوم یا پایه تعریف کردن برای عطرها یه دسته بندی قراردادی رایجه و شامل همه ی عطرها نمیشه ؛ چون عطرهایی هستن که دو نت یا فقط یک نت دارن . البته عطرهایی هم هستن که بیش از سه نت دارن . شخصاً نظرم اینه که عطرهایی با بیش از یک نت ، دارای نت فرعی هم هستن . مثلاً عطرهای سه نتی یک نت بین اول و دوم و یکی هم بین دوم و سوم دارن که این نتها به عبارتی حالت گذار هستن و اگر نتهای اصلی یعنی اول و دوم و سوم به مثابه ی نتهای ثابت باشن نتهای حالت گذار حکم نتهای متحرک رو دارن . بلافاصله پس از اسپری شدن خیلی سریع و ناگهانی یه بوی خیلی سرد و یخ میاد که من براش عنوان نت صفرو در نظر گرفتم و اونو تو هیچ عطر دیگه ای ندیدم ، بعد به سرعت گرم میشه و تا انتها گرم میمونه و این گرما به دفعات کم و زیاد میشه . نت آغازین آیکون تازه شروع میشه که بسیار خوشبو و خوشاینده . نت گذار اولش در ابتدا کمی سریع و بعد به آهستگی و نرمی به نت دوم تحویل میشه و بعد از تقریباً دو ساعت نت گذار دوم به شکل نامحسوسی رایحه رو وارد نت پایه میکنه و تغییرش میده . و اینجاست که بیشتر به سمت تلخی میره . آخرین قیمتی که ازش دارم 58 هزار تومنه . مقایسه کنید رفتار این عطرو که در حال حاضر قیمتی حدود 60 هزار تومن داره با بلودشانل ! عطری که نت اولش به سرعت وارد نت بعدی میشه و با دوره ی تثبیت کمی به نت پایه میرسه و بعد هم محو میشه . چرا شانل رو گفتم ؟ چون قیمتش حدود هفت-هشت برابر آیکونه ، به سادگی انواع فیک و انواع مشابهش با محدوده ی قیمتی یک ششم تا یک دهمش هم پیدا میشه . الان که مسائل اقتصادی و فاکتور قیمت بیش از پیش اهمیت پیدا کرده نمیشه به سادگی از مبلغ خرید گذشت . کرید اونتوس دوروبره 700 تومنه که کپی برابر اصلش با قیمت یک هفتم و حتی کمترش تو بازار هست . تام فورد توسکان لدر و بلک ارکید هم کپی نه اما مشابهش موجوده و در دسترسه . یه چند سالی شرکتا پدر وتیورو درآوردن حالا نوبت عوده . القصه تو این آشفته بازار تقلید و تکرار و کپی کاری ، تو این وانفسای خلاقیت و ابتکار که هر طرف سرتو میچرخونی عود میبینی و چرم ، آیکون یه پدیده است . درسته که آمریکاییه و کالاهای آمریکایی از انواع اروپاییشون معمولاً ارزونتره اما نه دیگه انقد و البته کم نیستن محصولات آمریکایی گرون قیمت . اینکه چرا ارزونه هم به خاطر اینه که تبلیغ زیادی براش نشده و زیر یه شرکت تولید کننده ی مواد آرایشی و بهداشتی و مراقبت از پوسته ، و فشن هاوس نیست و صرفاً تولید کننده ی ادکلن هم نیست ، مثل ایوروشه که اونم قیمت کاراش خیلی خوبه و کیفیت بسیار خوبی هم داره . زیر آیکون حتی از کارای بوگارت هم ارزونتر شده ! اما اینکه چرا امثال کرید و شانل و تام فورد انقدر گرونه ، به خاطر تبلیغات ، اهداف نامتعارف ، قدمت و سابقه ، کیفیت مواد اولیه و نه محصول نهایی ، پشتوانه ی عجیب و غریب که حتی گاهی یک یا چند حکومت و یا خاندان سلطنتی علاوه بر کلی حامی قسم خورده از یه برند حمایت میکنن و برای حفظش تلاش میکنن . خلاصه اینکه چندان شناخته شده نبودن زیر تعجبی نداره ، اینو میگم چون به تجربه ی شخصی برام روشن شده که حتی نصف کسانی که تو صنف ادکلن هستن هم نمیشناسنش . با این اوصافی که عرض کردم ، زیرآیکون تکه . ویژگی هایی داره که اونو فقط تو ادکلن های گرونتر میشه دید مثل در مگنتی که مثلاً بلودشانل و 212 وی آی پی دارن . اگه برای مقایسه مثال هایی از کارای گرون زدم برای این نبود که بگم اونا خوب نیستن ، نه اونا خوبن خیلی هم خوبن ولی فاکتور اقتصادی به خصوص تو وضعیت کنونی دست کم برای من مهمه . به تمام دوستان اعم از کسانی که عطرباز هستن یا نیستن پیشنهاد می کنم که آیکون رو بخرن . شبیه داره اما خوشبختانه کپی نداره ! ا

Opens pleasantly with cardamom, ginger, and probably lemon too. Now I definitely get the Dirty English vibe and its still going on strong! Im excited about that because D.E. has more Iso E than I can handle and I have trouble smelling it very well. This one fills my nostrils nicely. A while later its still going nicely along.
A better Dirty English!!!

Zirh Ikon is amazing bang for the buck. initial notes are mainly cardamom, ginger and I also smell the sweetness of cinnamon while it evolves into a spicy incense with cloves and vetiver in the dry down. at different times in it’s scent life Ikon reminds me of dirty english, Jacomo de Jacomo, Azzaro Silver Black, Elizabeth Taylor’s passion for men ( another good under rated incense frag)though I would be hard pressed to say it smells like any one of them. it’s almost like they took bits and pieces of all of them, blended it and surprise, it actually works!! projection is decent and I get a good 5 hrs plus longevity with 4 sprays. The pure black bottle with it’s magnetic cap is the epitome of masculine cool and it suits the juice inside perfectly. looks nice sitting on your dresser. one of the best cooler weather perfumes. I got a 125ml FB for about $12. This would be a great addition to my wardrobe at any price. at the ridiculously low prices you can find IKON at, it’s a no brainer !! love it. 8.5/10

A mature incense-cloves frag which is affordbale and sexy…
I applied 6 heavy srpays
0 – 1 hour – 10 inch projection. The initial scent reminds me approx 30% of Dirty English Juicy but this soon fades. This gets much more mature and “dirty” in the fashion of its more earthy and dark and the cloves really stand out with the incense. Ages 48 – 75
1 hour – 2.5 hours – 6 inch projection. Llinear frag. This could be classed a tradional sexy mature frag, though I would not blame many for not liking this – it does remind me of black boot polish
2.5 hours – 4.5 hours – 3 inch projection. Hard Mature man frag. Linear frag yet it has some complex depth. The scent matches the hard black bottle very well and the bottle has a cool magentic lid
4.5 hours- 7.5 hours. Close to skin
I must admit that this in the only frag I have every blind bought which I did not like to begin with at all, and had totally written it off, but after 3 applications somehow I really loved it. I like it on clothes and not on my skin as it extends the projection and logevity and it is ideal for hard core winters – i wore it nearly every day in the winter of 2012/13 in London – on my cotton work jumpers and a medicinal smell came out more
Not really a safe blind buy, I think many may say its a little dated or barber shop, but I like it
£9.99 for 125 ML is great value IMHO
Very good

andrej_1977 – :
Bought this blind, based on all the positive reviews and the list of notes. I opened the box, sprayed a little on my wrist and… was pretty disappointed.
On me this scent has a heavy “old men” vibe. I can’t detect the smokey warmth of the incense, the amber, the cinnamon, nor the spicy freshness of the ginger. What I do detect is an 80’s shaving foam-ish scent, with dark hints of clove and cardamon. On the bright side, it doesn’t last too long on me, around 4 hours.
If you ask me, Zirh Ikon is too oldschool masculine, too 80’s, too macho. In my opinion, if you like warm incense scents, better reach for YSL Body Kouros for instance.
I’ll pass this one on to my father in law 😉

ادکلن ارزنده ای است . عطری که خیلی خوب می شود با آن ارتباط برقرار کرد . بسیار بسیار خوب و وزین ، دلنشین . رایحه ای گرم و دلپذیر دارد . جنس بوی آن از جنس بوی باربری بریت است ، زنجبیلی و گرم . باوقار ، مردانه ، شیک . به راستی شامه نواز است . وقتی حرف از عطری مثلاً سیلورسنت می زنیم آن را با ارزش نسبت به قیمتش می دانیم اما در مورد آیکون قضیه فرق دارد ، فارق از مقوله ی قیمتش با ارزش است . آیکون اگر قیمتی چندبرابر هم داشته باشد باز هم ارزشش را دارد . زیر آیکون را امروز مورخ سی ام آبان نود و دو شصت و پنج هزار تومان خریدم و از خرید آن واقعاً راضی هستم . عطری کلاسیک ، ساده و رضایتبخش . حجم مناسب 125 میل ، شیشه و جعبه ی زیبا ، اتومایزر زیبا و متفاوت ، درب آهنربایی و مهم تر از همه رایحه ی عالی با پخش بو و ماندگاری خوب . فراتر از حد انتظارم بود . سنگین و دوست داشتنی است . مردانه و در عین حال ملایم و بی آزار . بوی آن آرامش دهنده است . از هر حیث خوب است چه از نظر رایحه ، چه آمبولانژ و ماندگاری و پخش بو . از آن تعریف می نمایند و نامش را جویا می شوند . به همگان پیشنهاد می کنم . با احترام

It smells good. Very manly, dark, elegant, mature. Starts with citrus scent and turns into spicy woody incense. Best for nights or colder days. Moderate sillage & longevity, around 4 hrs on my skin. Wish it has better sillage & longevity. Bottle & package design is great! magnetic cap. Love it!

This quick review is for the Ikon flanker, Ikon Pure.
I just blind bought this on a whim at local discounters based on reviews of the original. Please, for the love of all things holy, save your money on this stinker. Positively the worst, most vile, putrid synthetic citrus mess of an odor I’ve ever smelled. Like a citrus urinal puck left out in the sun for a few days.
Lucikly it was only $15, but I honestly don’t know how any company could release something this bad. Never experienced anything like it.
Avoid Ikon Pure, it’s nothing like the original!

I got delivery of this from eBay for just $20 after the reviews here. I didn’t expect much, but for $20, “why not?”, I thought… so I unwrapped it and tried it on my wrist… WOW… this is SUPERB! I then sprayed it all over. I’m sold.
IKON ZIRH starts off with a dark, cool, fresh (not citrus), spicey and woody scent (the smooth ginger in the background is just perfect)… then dries to a sweet smokey/incense kind of patchouli, while still retaining a smooth sweet freshness all the way through the scent… it just doesn’t dissapoint ALL the way from start to finish.
This is definietly a go-to fragrance as it is versatile, very cheap, sillage and longevity are good, it’s not an annoying scent (yet confident and strong) and just smells so damn good.
The quality/price/design of this fragrance is what more fragrance manufacturers should be following. Only ENCRE NOIRE comes to mind as providing the same price/quality. This is what makes you loyal, makes it a signature
