The Icon Elixir Woman: Floral Elegance with Fruity Twists
Antonio Banderas introduces his new feminine fragrance, The Icon Elixir Woman, a 2026 release that promises to charm with its unique personality. Crafted by perfumer Amelie Jacquin, this composition belongs to the floral olfactive family but with a modern, seductive edge.
The scent opens with a vibrant burst of raspberry and red berries, leading to a spicy-floral heart of pink pepper and jasmine, before settling on a warm base of benzoin and sandalwood. A balance of freshness, sweetness, and a hint of bitterness that makes it intriguing.
The Icon Elixir Woman kicks off with an explosion of red fruits, where raspberry and red berries bring a juicy, luminous energy. This fruity opening is complemented by a fresh accord that sets the stage for the fragrance's heart.
In the heart, pink pepper adds a spicy, slightly piquant note that blends with the floral elegance of jasmine. This combination creates a sense of sophistication and dynamism as the perfume evolves on the skin.
The base rests on benzoin and sandalwood, two ingredients that provide warmth, creaminess, and a lasting sillage. Benzoin offers a balsamic, mildly sweet touch, while sandalwood adds a soft, woody texture.
The main accords of this fragrance are fruity, sweet, fresh, bitter, and softly spicy, making it a versatile and characterful option. Perfumer Amelie Jacquin has achieved a notable balance between fresh and warm, sweet and bitter.

This fragrance is ideal for women seeking a distinctive, modern scent that combines floral and fruity elements, suitable for both day and night. Perfect for those who appreciate compositions with character and aren't afraid to stand out.
The Icon Elixir Woman is a safe bet for anyone wanting a versatile, commanding fragrance. Its sillage is pleasant and its staying power is notable, making it a great companion for any occasion. Definitely a launch worth trying.

Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I only tried it, I’m not buying it because Antonio Banderas’s performance disappoints me a little. But I came looking to see if there’s any alternative that has that strawberry/raspberry jam fragrance, really sweet and photorealistic 😍❤️
A few seconds of cherry 🍒 caramel, then a sharp bergamot aroma, and at the 2-hour-30-minute mark, close to the skin. Its richest phase is at the end.
Antonio Banderas perfumes have an indisputable price-to-quality ratio, and this Icon is no exception. In the opening, you perceive the red berries, which give it the sweetness and fruity tartness I love so much in fragrances. When it dries down, the caramel starts to show, to a point where it can almost feel like dulce de leche. On my skin, the caramel note stands out over the red berries. I let several people in my circle try it, and in most of them the red berries predominated… so I recommend trying it on the skin before buying. A nighttime, wintry, and seductive perfume.
To be clear, I’m not really into Banderas perfumes, but I felt like trying this new fragrance and I found it very pretty. It’s a raspberry syrup, warm, with a white flower that accompanies it perfectly. When it settles down a bit, it leaves a very nice caramel smell. As for longevity, honestly about two or three hours, and then the caramel trail close to the skin. Regarding the sillage, I found it quite weak; it’s a matter of personal taste. I feel it mixes the theatrical smell of some Jean Paul Gaultier with the kind of aura of Narciso Rodríguez. For the price, it delivers.
It’s a very nice but very subtle perfume. I get an aroma of red fruits with caramel, feminine, sweet, easy to wear. I don’t know if it projects much; it’s more intimate. More for everyday wear. I don’t know which perfume it resembles; it’s similar to Supreme but with red fruits. I’m still testing it. But it’s an ideal perfume to give as a gift because it’s very likable.
Antonio Banderas perfumes have an undeniable price-to-quality ratio, and this Icon is no exception.

When it dries down, the caramel starts to come through, to the point where it can feel almost like dulce de leche. On my skin, the caramel note stands out over the red fruits. I had several people around me try it, and in most of them the red fruits predominated… so I recommend trying it on your skin before buying. It’s a nighttime, wintry, and seductive perfume.
