Very nice review and thank you!! CDNIM Iconic is very nice. Smells amazing and fresh. Last a long time on skin and days on clothes. A very nice clone. CDNIM Iconic is one of those fragrances that has to be macerated for a few months before starts to perform. 👍

Initially I thought this was a horrible fragrance but after about a month and introducing some air into the bottle, it's MUCH better. I find that with those Armaf bottles, they need air and time

Same. I so didnt get BdC at first and it had some weird smell. Peraps this is why it comes in 105 ml. I sprayer 10-20 sprays. Its has been sitting for a month and now... its is so close BdC. Good up close, good in the air. I soooo wanna try Zanzibar as all of yoi are hyping it so much and Id love to try it but sadly, only a blid buy will do. And its not even in EU yet. Perhaps get paradise garden? As I so want only one great (notgoodbut great) cocnut frag.

I bought this one when it very first released, I was part of the pre-orders. And to be honest, I didn't care for it, but it's been sitting in a box forever and I've probably only sprayed it about four or five times. That said, I'm going to give it a wear today and I'll report back and see if it's changed.

I just got this one recently, I was very reluctant spending £70 on an armaf fragrance at first but then I was able to get a bottle for £30 so snapped it up. I'm so glad I did because it is a great fragrance right from the opening, there is no alcohol blast or any off putting opening its just a solid citrus freshy with great proformance. If your second guessing weather to buy it, i would recommend to just go for it and you won't be disappointed! Great review as always thank you for sharing with us ✌🏽🌹

Sup, Sarah! After having BdC EDT, EDP, Parfum and Armaf Iconic, I'd say Iconic falls in the range of the EDT and EDP. I'd say it's more of an "inspired by" take on BdC versus a straight-up clone, as I feel that it's not really clearly cloning any of the concentrations. To the people that say it smells "off" or "cheap", they probably got a fresher batch, and they need to simply let it sit and macerate for a few months. My bottle smelled like ass when I first got it, but I came back to it 3 months later and it was much, much better. Super great value for the money, and it performs FAR better than any of the OG's, especially the Parfum. Personally, I love BdC Parfum but the performance is garbage, especially for the price point. Just my 2 cents, though. Cheers!

Hi, Sarah. Where ya been ? Just a quick note you say hey. Good review and tips. Thank you. Sampled the OG @ Ulta and was disappointed with performance (??!!). Prices are still going up up up ,and I'm spoiled with free shipping ! I'll keep my eyes peeled for the best deal. Recently purchased Armaf CDN Untold - a good clone of BR540. Oh, and btw, PdM Kalan is a more masculine take on BR640, (but at a completely different price point @). Armaf is really coming up with some bangers. I have Untold, CDNIM, Milestone. Sillage. All good. Good tip about spraying off the first 20 sprays. In general, I feel M.E clones are much better in the air than directly off skin. But that's okay, especially if it allows me to "get close" to the OG at an affordable price. Ciao ! Paul
