I didn’t know this French brand until a friend recommended it to me. I bought it to match a refund. I was struck by how similar it is to Ulric de Varens UDV, even down to the bottle. It’s green, very much like Ulric but far more concentrated. The citrus notes are strong, but the green accords fight them tooth and nail without either winning. Perfect for spring (or mild summers). Great scent; reminds me of those rough, masculine perfumes from the 70s.
I didn’t know this French brand until a friend recommended it to me. I bought it to match a refund. What caught my attention was the similarity to Ulric de Varens UDV, even in the bottle. It’s green, very similar to Ulric but much more concentrated. The citrus note is strong, but the greens fight them to a standstill with no clear winner. Ideal for spring (or mild summers). Very good; it reminds me of those rough men’s perfumes from the 70s.
Every time I wear it, I’m instantly reminded of Ulric de Varens UDV. If you’re a fan of Ulric, this is your perfume—and vice versa.
I was really eager to try this perfume; Sisley is one of my favorite clothing brands. Today I tested it, and I can smell the citrus but with a dry aroma, probably due to the vetiver. It’s certainly different from what I’ve tried before; it’s not my taste, but I don’t want to say I dislike it. I think it just depends on the person.
I was really eager to try this perfume; Sisley is one of my favorite clothing brands. I finally tried the perfume today, and I can feel the citrus but with a dry aroma, probably due to the vetiver.

A scent with a bitter, slightly rough edge. Green, citrusy, and earthy; I agree with Shiseido Tactics ‘Tosca’—that’s the best description. Absolutely different and far from fresh… it reminds me of its mid-phase of a bitter herb very common in southern Chile, with a vegetal stem note. It’s a special perfume, full of nuances, not for everyone. You can perceive ingredient quality in every phase. I recommend trying it and giving it a chance… never for a blind buy, it’s too rough, green, and earthy. Medium trail and equal longevity. It’s absolutely daytime.
Eau d’Ikar has a citrus, fresh opening with a very original effect thanks to the lentisk, which adds a bitter and earthy touch, making it different from other fresh openings (plus point). Influential green notes emerge leading to the heart, but I feel it’s quite synthetic and creates considerable imbalance; at times it smells like cheap soap or cleaner, ruining the iris and jasmine phase (minus point). The drier, balsamic woody phase is sweetened with amber, vetiver, and sandalwood, giving a turn that leaves me indifferent due to its simplicity and mediocre quality (minus point). Longevity is moderate and the trail weak to moderate: good at first, but drops considerably after half an hour and sticks to the skin. As an experience, it wasn’t bad thanks to the beautiful initial lentisk contribution, but little more. Rating: 4.
Eau d’Icar starts off citrusy and fresh, with an original touch of lentisk that adds an earthy bitterness, setting it apart from other fresh openings. Then the green notes clash with the synthetic heart, creating an imbalance that smells like cheap soap or cleaner, ruining the iris and jasmine. The woody, balsamic dry down is sweetened with amber, vetiver, and sandalwood, but it leaves me indifferent because it’s too simple. Moderate longevity and weak sillage: it’s good at first, but after half an hour it fades significantly and sticks to the skin. Not bad for the opening, but not much more. Rating: 4.
Just to add to the previous review: when the fragrance launched and I tried it, no matter how much I perfumed my wrist and brought my nose close, it smelled like nothing more than a faint whiff of something slightly citrusy, as if someone half a kilometer away was using a citrus cleaning product…
I barely smell anything, I can’t say anything more :P.

A citrus-woody toilet with a Mediterranean character. I’ve worn this perfume for several years and have always loved the very natural citrus touch, boosted by a bright iris. On my skin, this flower stands out, reinforced by carrot seeds. The essences are natural, and you can tell in the depth of the notes. It’s not for young guys, but rather for mature men with a semi-formal style. It’s great for daytime outings and walks with family and friends. Mediterranean nature.
A citrus-woody toilet day scent with Mediterranean character and a wise blend of citrus, flowers, and woods. I’ve worn it for several years and always loved the natural citrus touch, boosted by a radiant iris. On my skin, that flower stands out, reinforced by carrot seeds. The essences are natural, evident in the depth of the notes. It’s not for a young guy; it’s for a mature man with a semi-formal style. It works great for daytime outings and walks with family and friends. Pure Mediterranean nature.
Let me start by saying this is one of the most peculiar scents I’ve ever heard. The opening is citrus with an earthy, metallic touch from the lentisk. After 30-40 minutes, it mutates almost completely, feeling herbal and floral while keeping that bitter citrus. An hour later, iris dominates—creamier and less sweet than Dior Homme’s, a sensation that lasts until the end with woody notes. It’s very different from designer perfumes; the notes feel organic and it’s not linear; the scent changes significantly throughout its life. I’ve heard other fantastic, unconventional Sisley perfumes for women, so I think the house tackled this with good judgment. The only weak point is projection: after about three hours, it fades and sticks to the skin, though those nearby still notice it. One point for Sisley.
Sisley perfumes have always been about quality and elegance, almost niche. Now the line between niche and designer is blurring, but at Sisley, you can feel the history, study, and love. They represent what Guerlain once was. Inside the Eau d’Ikar bottle are stories: founders Isabelle and Hubert D’Ornano already used a personal Eau de Lentisque. Hubert, infatuated with Corsica and the maquis, made lentisk the base. This shrub, along with heather and rosemary, forms the Mediterranean landscape that inspired the fragrance. Every detail was cared for, from the bottle with Ícaro carved in glass to the aromatic palette. The opening is an explosion of lentisk, bitter and pungent resin evoking a sun-drenched low bush. Then comes the Mediterranean greenery, accented by bergamot, lemon, and bitter orange. Gradually, the green and acidic notes yield to floral iris and jasmine, with that French boudoir soapy touch that adds class. It lingers on the skin with echoes of amber sandalwood. It’s complex, layered, and notably high-quality. Its only flaw is the weak trail and moderate longevity, sticking close to the skin.
To start, Eau d’Ikar isn’t my style, but I recognize that when a classic, masculine scent is done right, it deserves credit. The opening is a slap of bitter, rough greenery that softens in seconds with citrus, creating an exquisite citrus-green blend. Then come the discrete flowers, sweetening everything with an elegant soapy tone that pairs well with that initial green note. In the dry down, it leaves a generic, warm, and woody scent, like a seventies barbershop. Performance is low for the price; longevity and projection are moderate, sticking close to the skin from the start. It’s perfect for spring mornings, mild summers, or a chilly autumn walk. Even though I don’t love it, it smells high-quality. It’s sober and distinguished, but given the price and low longevity, I’d only recommend trying it.
To start, I’ll say that Eau d’Ikar isn’t my taste or my style, but I recognize the worth of these classic, masculine aromas when they’re done well. The opening is a slap of bitter, refreshing greenery that is quickly nuanced by citrus, offering an exquisite green-citrus blend. Then subtle floral notes appear, sweetening the scent with an elegant, soapy, and masculine tone that blends well with the initial greenery. In the drydown, it leaves a generic, warm, woody aroma with earthy tones, reminiscent of 1970s barbershop scents. The performance is low for the price: moderate longevity and projection, with a trail that stays close to the skin from the start. It’s meant for enjoying on warm spring and summer mornings or an early autumn walk. Despite not liking it, it’s quality. A sober and distinguished scent; if not for the price and low performance, I’d recommend it blindly, but as it stands, I prefer to try before buying.
Eau d’Ikar is a beast with character; it smells like something else entirely. It’s not for guys seeking approval, but for the ones who walk in and say ‘this is who I am.’ It starts deliciously with bergamot, lemon, and lentisk, reminding me of Eau Sauvage but with that distinct earthy touch. Minutes later, the soapy iris, carrot seeds, and vetiver emerge—everything feels natural and high-quality. By the hour, it dries down to dry soap, sandalwood, and lentisk. It’s pricey, a work of art, and nothing synthetic. The trail reaches two meters in the first hour before settling on the skin until six. It smells like a man and denotes class. It reminds me of Prada’s Infusion d’Iris, but here the base is lentisk. Give it a try.
Eau d’Ikar is a beauty, a powerhouse of a fragrance with its own personality. There is nothing else that smells like it, and it’s for men with character. It’s not for teenagers or for everyone’s taste, but for a man who knows what he wants and arrives saying, ‘This is who I am.’ The opening is delicious with bergamot, lemon, and lentisk, reminiscent of Eau Sauvage but with that earthy lentisk touch. The heart brings the lentisk, a delicious and natural iris, earthy carrot seeds, and vetiver. An hour later, the soapy drydown of lentisk, iris, vetiver, and sandalwood makes it feel very natural and high quality. It’s expensive, a work of art, nothing synthetic. The trail reaches two meters in the first hour before settling into the skin, lasting about six hours on me. It’s manly and denotes class. It reminds me of Prada’s Infusion d’Iris; both play with lentisk and iris. I invite you to smell and enjoy it.
At first, I thought, what a good thing, then it smelled a bit like lightning, then it left a singular scent. It smells like a type with personality, like fallen grass inside an electrical appliance that caused a burnt cable. I definitely wouldn’t buy it. I’d rather have less personality and smell better.
My fondness for forests probably showed on Fragrantica; maybe in another life I lived in a vegetation-filled place like Tarzan’s. Eau d’Ikar stands out from today’s uniformity with its green note, which many perceive as ‘difficult to handle.’ The elegance of the bitter tone is undeniable and absorbs into the later course thanks to the floral tones that change the ‘carrot’ association in the following embrace of vetiver and sandalwood. It’s a sunny and pleasant fragrance, but the scent lasts surprisingly little on my skin, and despite an interesting transformation, it hasn’t convinced me at all. Too much investment for a pleasure that lasts a breath. So, while waiting to find a citrus with outstanding performance (I’m curious about Bergamask by Orto Parisi), I stick with my beloved Capucci and Lancetti pour homme, which, at one-third the price, literally dance this Sisley creation in many aspects.
Citrusy and herbal opening, a bit wild. A few minutes later, an alcoholic and green accord settles in, soft, and something that seems like grapevine or fig leaf enters. It doesn’t last long, but the dry-down is spectacular. In the dry-down, it smells like a gentleman over 40 in summer on a Greek coast—not a crowded one like Puerto Banús, but more like Lampedusa or a tiny island, wearing a linen shirt and straw hat, but deep down, that man has plenty of money and class.
Very citrusy, luminous, and sharp, slightly green; you can smell the jasmine. Not for blind buys. Could be overwhelming.
Opens with very intense carrot seeds, which I confuse with pure ‘green-earth’ narcissus. Citrus notes like sun-dried peels join in, very pleasant. Then it shifts to a talc-like effect from the iris, and the resinous lentisc note is noticeable quickly. After 5 minutes, the citrus intensifies toward bitter orange, adding predominant woods and spicy touches. At 15 minutes, the talc-like and woody lentisc rises with pine and incense, a certain sweetness that blends with vetiver and sandalwood, with amber highlights; I don’t detect the jasmine, it must be very blended. It’s a woody, dry perfume with a floral-talc and spicy touch, subtle green notes. Very discreet and adult; not refreshing in heat, more spring-like and autumnal, ideal for mornings and afternoons. In short: dried citrus peels, woods with lots of iris and resins. A very good, different perfume. Woody-talc-spicy.
Opens with very intense carrot seeds, which I initially confuse with a pure, green, earthy narcissus. Citrus notes join in, like sun-dried orange peels, very pleasant. Soon, a powdery touch emerges from the iris and the lentisk resin present from the start. After 5 minutes, the citrus intensifies toward bitter orange, with dominant woody notes and spicy accents. At 15 minutes, the powdery lentisk wood, pine, and incense rise, blending with a sweetness that unites with vetiver and sandalwood, accented by amber; I don’t detect the jasmine, it must be very blended. A woody, dry, powdery floral scent with slight spicy touches and subtle green notes. Very discreet and mature; it doesn’t refresh in the heat but feels spring-like or autumnal, ideal for mornings and afternoons. In summary: dried citrus peels, woods, lots of iris and resins, where the lentisk fuses with the iris. A very good, different perfume. Woody-powdery-spicy.
True to its notes, just as in the opening and dry-down. Very original; wherever you go, you’ll stand out. Quite mature and unique.
I was eager to try it, and it’s not for beginners or those who love Invictus or Sauvage. It’s expensive compared to designer brands and requires a trained nose. That said: weird, yes, but it doesn’t smell bad. I’ve never smelled anything like it; it’s very original. Opens citrusy, green, and luminous, with a nearly rancid bitter orange. In Argentina, there’s a wild plant called fennel (similar to anise), and the dry-down smells like that. Lasts a long time, feels almost niche. Don’t buy blindly.
I already had a 2013 review that got deleted; I’m writing it again because perception changes with new olfactory experiences. Eau d’Ikar has great quality—it’s green and earthy in the opening, very natural. Soon you feel a slight sweetness, I think from iris and jasmine, with a woody touch. Totally different from current trends; for me, it’s very elegant. Undoubtedly high quality. It’s already discontinued in Mexico, fortunately I have my refill. Cheers.
I love it and hate it equally. The opening is a paradise for noses tired of perfumes—fresh, spring-like, with well-crafted citrus—but then it settles into something strange and difficult, until you bite your tongue from the resinous lentisc note, which looks disgusted. I always come back to try it for the opening, but once it dries, I say ‘what a disgusting smell.’ The trail is very wide, could be overwhelming, and lasts about 8 hours. A Sisley gem, but not for everyone.
Smells like Loewe Classic but with a much more citrusy opening and less floral. A good option with an original scent.
