    What do reviewers say about Icon and Kalan?

    This isn't a fragrance that chases attention. It's aromatic-woody, the kind of composition that sits in the room before you know it's there. The bergamot and petitgrain create an opening that feels.Icon
    It opens sharp, blood orange and black pepper don't ask permission. Some find that confrontational. You might find it honest. The longevity is where this earns loyalty.Kalan
