What do reviewers say about Icon Racing Red and Explorer?
Most fresh fragrances give up after four hours. Icon Racing Red doesn't, it trades the initial citrus punch for amber warmth and cedar, becoming something quieter but more interesting. Worth the wait.Icon Racing Red
It's not trying to be the most interesting fragrance in the room. That's exactly why it works. Explorer is the scent of someone who showed up without needing to prove anything.Explorer
