by Franck Boclet
Icon by Franck Boclet is an exceptionally bold and unusual fragrance that combines citrusy freshness with sweet, powdery florals and gourmand notes. It opens with a sharp, sour citrus burst that blends into a waxy, slightly soapy aura dominated by iris and violet, evolving into a playful, fruity gourmand composition with candied fruits, vanilla, and musk. The transformation is subtle yet profound—initially aggressive and sweet, it eventually settles into a clean, soft, vanilla-tinged drydown that lingers with moderate intensity. Despite its olfactory complexity, it carries a synthetic edge that some find overwhelming or reminiscent of cough syrup or candy gloss. Its strength and trail are moderate to strong, making it suitable mainly for daytime wear and warm seasons, particularly summer and autumn. The fragrance is best suited for those with a taste for surreal, unexpected perfumes that challenge conventional olfactory expectations.
