  • My take on Dunhill's latest release from late last year (2017). Dunhill Icon Racing pays homage to the vintage British speedsters in the famous British Racing Green...This fragrance is the epitome of freedom, refreshing and youthful scent.

    Just received my Icon Racing. Damn it is great! Never bought Invictus Aqua so it is a great add to collection. Bought mine for $37 at Fragrance X. Solid review, as usual. You and TLTG are solid reviewers. Keep up the great job!

    I’m becoming a big fan of the Icon Collection. I own Icon, Absolute, and Elite. Heading to my local Nordstrom to try Racing!!

      Please do. I'm looking forward to hearing your take on those two. I have the original Icon and absolutely love it. Thanks for your review of Racing - well done!

    For me personally it even smells a lot like the new 2018 Invictus Aqua and it also smells like Ultra Male with a hint of Dylan Blue. I did blind buy it, but for me personally I love Dunhill Icon more, as its more unique. Definitely a crowd pleaser though, great video Max and love the take on this from you.

    • @MaxForti

      Thanks Adam, I appreciate it!

  • @fatboy5926
    @fatboy5926 6 років тому

    I feel like the original Icon is more like by the Frag community because it’s different not “generic” sorta thing whereas the Racing is Dunhill’s “mass pleasing” scent in the Sauvage Dylan Blue Invictus Aqua all those but I feel Racing is different to those. I’ve smelled it 4 or 5 times now and am impressed every time I really enjoy it will absolutely pick up a full bottle its great and I feel if you’re not too worried about it being in that mass pleasing class it’s a safe blind buy. Can’t see somebody disliking it. Honestly I’m impressed excellent scent

    All I've got to say is that I received around 30 compliments in two days from my students!! They all loved it!! Definitely a winner for the $$!!

    Jeremy did a video and one girl liked it that means hype? maybe when everyone else goes after the video to make a video. Nothing new, nothing unique, nothing to hype, while original is miles better in every way.
    For me, it is really similar to GIT and Tres Nuit just sweeter and bubblegumy with a minty touch, while having a really good performance.

  • @justaddlight
    @justaddlight 6 років тому +4

    Max, check out Zara's Teahupoo (2018). It's an excellent inexpensive clone of Invictus Aqua 2016 and probably a better alternative than Icon Racing. I'm definitely a fan of the original Icon, with that peppery grape neroli, but it almost seems that perfume houses have lost control of the flanker phenomenon. Next up will probably be Icon Intense or Noir or something :S. So long as there is quality, I'm not really fussed. Appreciate the review.

    • @MaxForti
      @MaxForti  6 років тому +1

    I made the mistake of buying this on Amazon... and it was 6 months past it's best before. I can notice it's not as good as it should've been. I may buy it again in the near future, because I did like the smell, but I could tell that it should've been better. I'm never buying fragrances from Amazon ever again.

    Everyone reviewer keeps saying this is hard to find, but I've seen it on shelf at my local Nordstrom for quite a while now. Should I buy several of them and resell them if people are having that hard of a time finding it?

    • @MaxForti
      @MaxForti  6 років тому

      It's hard to find discounted - I'm sure most people want to buy it discounted not retail!

  • @mikeward2980

    Thank you Max Forti, I wonder in comparison how this would hold up to Hawas by Rasasi? Maybe a comparison review on old Invictus Aqua, new Invictus Aqua and Hawas and Icon. Bring on the battle Max Forti!!

    • @MaxForti

      Your hidden gem sold out quick so I didn't get to buy it being that I got paid Wednesday night the couvisiere imperial I think shit flew off the shelf over on fragrance net
      To be honest Polo red extreme and the intense are hidden gems too no ones talks about those and most of all I pre ordered Goldfield & banks Pacific rock moss will be in this month can't wait till then
      Racing and Ysl Y for men will have to hold me over

    • @MaxForti
      @MaxForti  6 років тому

    I ordered from Perfume Click like 15 days ago and still haven’t gotten even a notification from USPS that they’ve received it
    It’s pretty pathetic and their customer service is atrocious

    • @MaxForti
      @MaxForti  6 років тому

      Unfortunately that's what I'm hearing about their site - I got my bottle as a partial from a member at the Emporium of Scents Facebook fragrance group they had purchased it from perfume-click, but I hear people complaining about their horrible turn-around time and poor customer service... :( I am sure it will be available soon at other discounters here in the US!

    • @MaxForti
      @MaxForti  6 років тому +1

      Thanks, I got mine from a member of Facebook Fragrance Group - Emporium of Scents. I didn't order directly from their site, but I hear it takes a long time to arrive, I believe they are in the UK, so they ship in here to someone else that ships it to the US customers...

    @BiggDaddy479 6 років тому +1

    Hey bro, can you checkout this cheapie and see what's up with it, Armaf Hunter Intense. I know it's got a crazy bottle but I'm hearing the juice is sexy and on beast mode! 💪😎
    P.S. Don't confuse the Intense with the original, heard it was horrible 😝

    • @MaxForti

  • @rayshawndavid7358
    @rayshawndavid7358 6 років тому +2

    Definitely a amazing scent but the price is to high right now but if they want the clone of this try Armaf hunter intense

    • @stantino129
      @stantino129 6 років тому +2

      Rayshawn David Armaf Hunter intense is going to be the next big thing because the scent is very pleasant the performance is borderline beast mode and its dirt cheap, but the bottle is hideous lol

    • @rayshawndavid7358
      @rayshawndavid7358 6 років тому +1

      Yes I got 10 plus hours out of it and I second that the bottle sucks lol but the juice will make u feel like a king

    • @MaxForti
      @MaxForti  6 років тому +1

      I am sure this will be available soon at other discounters for better pricing...

  • @buckallen8161

    Doesn't Perfume-Click sell fakes? Surprised they'd be selling a brand new fragrance that just came to the US at half the price...

    • @MaxForti
      @MaxForti  6 років тому

      Buck, I am not that familiar with perfume-click this it the first time I heard of them and the only place I know sells these at the moment discounted and I assure you it is not fake!

  • @nealfrancis5083
    @nealfrancis5083 6 років тому +10

    It’s nowhere near as good as the original icon

    • @XxXDestroyer
      @XxXDestroyer 6 років тому +13

      I guess it just depends what you're looking for. Because you could say the Original Icon is nowhere near as good of a compliment getter/mass pleaser as Racing. But it's not as unique and interesting.
