The Icon Splendid

The Icon Splendid from Antonio Banderas, released in 2024, is a sweet, spicy floral for women. People describe it as gourmand and floral in equal measure; most also find it spicy, and a third pick up wood, musk and citrus.

Tangerine and pear open it juicy and bright, with black pepper and pepper adding a sharp, warm bite that keeps the fruit from being purely sweet. The heart is rose, peony and orange blossom, a soft, rounded bouquet with a sunny edge. The base is where the gourmand side shows: praline and vanilla bring a nutty, creamy sweetness, guaiac wood and sandalwood a smooth, slightly smoky wood, and musk a soft, lasting finish.

It is marketed as feminine and has a warm, versatile character suited to autumn evenings and mild days alike, for someone who likes flowers with pepper and praline rather than with fresh citrus alone.
