Eau d'Ikar Sisley for men

The beginning is a combination of bergamot / lemon with a touch of herbal (originated from a plant called mastic). The output is very sour citrus, arrives to give the feeling that catches the tongue, but so far no problem for me. What really bothered me was this herbal, here's this kind of note not my style, Sinti the same kind of note I met boisee Kenzo and Gucci Sport in a bit too. It's something that reminds me of a bush or something. Maybe I can get used to me one day with this note, but now I can not stand.

With over a 15 to 20 minutes herbal note eases a little, yet it stays the citrus, but something comes floral iris feel something in the background, but I imagine qo is a predominance of jasmine. I'll look for that single note to make sure. It also rolls a touch powdery.

With little more than an hour to go disappearing citrus notes and sandalwood can feel the load of something else must be the sum of vetiver and amber (it is a woody scent with a median body weight). Perhaps this is more suitable for warm days.

Projection medium / low
Fixing: Dei six sprayed sample and even a 6-7 am could still feel it.

Anyway I rate 7/10, I recognize the quality of the perfume, but not my style. Just do not give a higher score because of longevity.

I quite like Eau D'Ikar. It opens with a blast of green citruses and bitter orange immediately joined by carrot seeds / iris (the real stars of the whole fragrance IMO). Mastic makes its appearance during the middle phase and together with vetiver and the overall iris vibe, lead the fragrance towards a well blended woody aromatic base with just a subtle hint of sweetness. Very nice maculine.

Rating: 7/10

A beautiful scent, could easily be worn by a woman. Great longevity but not good sillage. If you like quiet scents, it is a great one.
I was wearing it today and no one understood it was a male scent. It is very herbal and airy, the mastic note very prominent and the carrot seeds too.
After a while i get citruses, iris and the tea note.

A wonderfull scent. Works very well on my skin. No probblem of longevity or sillage... Spray a little on your clothes if you want to irradiate. Citrus at the top? not harsh not dessert-like. There is nothing I can compare it to. It's modern woody susained by green and creamy notes, balanced so not be a déjà vu "easy" masculine fougere or another powdery frag. And I really don't get the comparision to Dior Homme.
PS; Sorry if my english is kinda rusty!

A perfect scent that I haven't smelt for a long time specially on this fresh taste. It's a good set for summer suits both casual and ceremonial. It plays with citric woody tone at first step and at second phase after a few minutes herbal splendor starts and finally it turns to more vegetable, spices and floral theme.
There's lux sub-stream in whole of displaying that is the key of being apart from mass of typical fresh notes.
But fairly, for the first men perfume of the company, with that shining portfolio, for a company like Sisley; isn't it too low level? I expected more powerful jaw drawing powerhouse in a fashionable flacon.

Have run through two samples and I'm just not feeling it. The house of Sisley took there time launching a mans fragrance and I was expecting more.

While it appears to be well constructed (and not cheap), I'm not getting all the notes. It runs right thought the middle ones after the initial citrus blast with the vetiver really being overly predominant.

Packaging is classy (it is Sisley after all).

Sillage is on the weak side and longevity is lacking.

Back from testing, this fragrance has nothing to do with Dior Homme, doesn't smell Dior Homme at all. Dior Homme drydown smell like burnt leather, while Eau d'Ikar drydown smell like aloewood. Eau d'Ikar is much better. Women can wear it too if she's willing. I would choose Eau d'Ikar for my man.

It's hard to said who's come first. This perfume had been the personal perfume of the men of the D'ornano family more than 10 years ago (much earlier than Dior Homme). It was only launch recently after hire a sculptor to design the glass mold for the bottle.

Iris perfume is wide loved by the Upper Class, so nothing wrong for this Eau D'Ikar smell similar with other expensive brand perfume.

Ok, while it's pleasant enough, I'm now getting a touch tired of this whole "Orris for men" trend. After the massive success of Dior Homme and Infusion d'Iris', it seems everyone still wants to grab a piece of that same pie. ~ Hey, here's an idea, hows about baking your own different pie instead, rather than all this belated "wagon jumping". ;o) It's bound to garner more respect I'm sure ! (The lovely bottle certainly warrants something novel to match it !)

I bought it to my husband for Christmas. I adored it when i smelled it the first time. Very fresh and elegant. A modern vetiver. I like smell it on my man.

Spot on review by `Inselaffe`.

Lovely fresh x100 scent. Lasts for about an hour and a half (max). So this will be a very expensive fragrance with poor lasting power. But Wow.what a scent!!

Reminds me a bit of a Michael Jackson concert ...in that it was:

A Top quality show with great visuals, but was Always very expensive, did not last for longer than an hour and a half, then dissapears forever. That is ,if there was ever going to be a show.....

MARCEL

A fragrance of undoubted interest, but perhaps a little clinical for my regular use. It begins with a lemon dominant accord,refreshing, peppery, and perhaps a touch oleaginous. For some inexplicable reason it brings Terre D'Hermes to mind, but perhaps more in sentiment than actual construction. Subsequent phases are a blend of piquant ingredients and occasional exotica, but it still makes me feel like an abluted laboratory assistant. It also vanishes with some haste after a couple of hours, and any base that has been constructed is simply bypassed.

I will concede that there is something compelling about D'Ikar that bears further examination. Despite not finding the source of this intrigue on this occasion, I will undoubtedly revisit it again

Oh my goodness, who wears this stuff? At first it smells like freshly burnt human meat (!), then in truns into some heavily perfumed medicine that no child ever would swallow. Avoid.

This scent is simply excellent in all respects.
It smells wonderful.
The olfactory notes are among my favorites.
The projection and longevity are magnificent.
The bottle is beautiful.
The brand is unique.
What more can you ask for a perfume.
The only problem is that it is too expensive ... which will not be all bad if you look at the uniqueness that this fragrance will have.
I love this Eau d'Ikar.

it's a blend of cavalli man and dior homme...

A bit of a disappointment. Not bad but I expected better. The mastic note is not that of mastic resin but the smell of the green lentisque leaves. Quite different. If I wasn't expecting so much I might have liked it more.

Good at the start, with green leaves, milky and soapy in the middle, very soft and a little bit "poudrè" for the iris (orris), but not very persistent; as for the rewiev of "minimalist" it remainds me the iris in Infusion d'Homme of Prada.
Smell before purchase, but a fragrance well done, after twenty years of study.
However a very good product, like all the Sisley creams.

I have to tell that this is a realy nice perfume, well done, balanced, not too sweet, not overpowered, not agressive. Well done, and I'd like to call it EAU COLOGNE De DIOR HOMME, because especially on the end it is very look a like Dior Homme for the iris.

This is the only men's cologne that I actually felt comfortable purchasing and using on myself. Some would describe it as very masculine, but for me, I find the iris and jasmine prominent enough for a girly girl like me. Don't get me wrong, it is very spicy and does have that men's cologne factor... but on my skin chemistry this turns very soft and flowery. I'd recommend this for men who want to smell like men, and women who want to try something different.

d'Ikar smells good on your skin, definitely male. Feel spices, tea, maybe even the mastika.

A masterpiece. I put it in my skin yesterday. At the beginnig was very citrussy. Ok, expected. Then a few minutes later, I smelled and I was confused. I thought: "I didn´t put cream on my hands today. Where´s this smell coming from? It was the evolution of Eau d´Ikar!" Very soap, like a cream. Different, not as masculine as I was expecting(Eau de Rochas or Eau Savage) but good. Excellent.

Antonpan, you nailed it!
It makes me a very happy man to see that sometimes there's someone out there working hard, with a vision and willing to keep up with the highest standards like Sisley. At first it's similar to Eau de Campagne from the same brand, then turns into a milky-green accord with volume, depth. Dont know how lentisque smells, never had the chance but at this stage Eau d´Ikar reminds me of Prada Infusion d'Iris for men, both including lentisque as heart note so maybe this mentioned green & creamy note belongs to it. Vetiver appears later making the whole composition noble, educated.
It's green, it's like spring in a bottle. I covet it!

Nice, masculine. For me it's very similar to Kenzo pour Homme Boisee, though Kenzo is more sharp. That's why I prefer Kenzo

For such a long time I haven't tried a men's scent that is so beautiful, rich and well composed. To me Eau d'Ikar is a great balance of modern and "old" perfumery. It starts strongly - citrusy herbally reminding colognes of 70's or 80's (imagine Eau Sauvage for example). But soon it turns into a weird creamy (or milky) fresh (but still warm!) scent. I really like this softness came from the tea accord. Moreover this base is enriched by a clear vetiver note. Finally the composition transforms again, now into something light and irisy (but not sweet!)

As you've understood Eau d'Ikar is an extremely complex and versatile fragrance constructed of high quality components. For 2011 it sounds like a masterpiece, though I'm sure some will find it too soapy.

sounds great. have to try.
