What does Velixir Icarus smell like?
Pear and two citrus notes, one of them from Calabria, make a juicy, bright start. In the heart ginger adds a peppery bite, orange blossom a honeyed white flower and Georgywood a clean, dry wood, so the middle is more woody-fresh than floral.
The base is built from musk and cedarwood plus two ingredients known by trade names: Ambrofix, an ambergris-type material, and Akigalawood, a peppery wood. Fruity, fresh and musky are the main accords the brand lists. It is the one perfume of the range that lists mandarin orange twice, in the top and in the heart.
