In plain words

The main accords of Icon Racing are citrus and aromatic. It opens with Grapefruit and Cardamom, reveals Orange Blossom and Lavender at its heart, and dries down to Musk and Guaiac Wood. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and summer, mostly by day.
