The review
On paper, Icon is a strong bet if you want Andy Warhol for less.
ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Andy Warhol's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $82 per 100ml it costs 89% less than Andy Warhol — the cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength ALT Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on bergamot, pink pepper and mandarin orange, turns to iris, violet and jasmine, and settles into amber, musk and cedar. That is the brief Icon is working from.
Top
- bergamot

Powdered iris and amber under the Warhol name, now discontinued and collected.
