Iceberg, unveiled in 1989, is marketed as a feminine fragrance, drawing from the fruit and floral families. The talent of Sophie Labbé is written all over this bottle. Released in eau de toilette.
The sillage is noticeable — present, but never overpowering. Every application feels like a little ritual — longevity is low. Country of origin — Italy, and that already says something about the quality. Iceberg unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Iceberg evolves as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The style of Iceberg comes through in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette supports the right density and pace of development.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Aromatic, Citrus, Green and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Fruit, Floral, Ambery and Wood.
In the top tier you meet invigorating sunny first notes: Basil, Bergamot, Galbanum and Lemon.
When the opening settles you sense Iris, Jasmine, Lily, Lily of the Valley, Rose and ylang-ylang carrying a creamy tuberose direction.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Fruit forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Musc, Wood, Powdery and Amber add depth to the backdrop. The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence Low indicates a stable lasting impression.
Overall Iceberg holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory.
