Antonio Banderas The Icon Splendid Eau de Parfum 100ml is a dressed-up flanker to the actor's celebrated women's pillar The Icon — launched in 2024 by Spanish brand Banderas Perfumes. A juicy opening of pear, tangerine and black pepper leads into a romantic peony, orange blossom and guayacan heart, settling on a warm gourmand base of praline, vanilla, sandalwood, musk and rose. Confident, dressed up, and unmistakably evening-coded.

Who it's for
The Icon Splendid suits women drawn to sweet, dressed-up fruity-floral gourmand fragrances rather than fresh aquatic or austere woody compositions. It is at its best in autumn and winter evenings, ideal for nights out, date nights, and any context calling for a fragrance with statement-projection. If you wear Lancôme La Vie est Belle, YSL Black Opium or Mugler Alien Goddess, The Icon Splendid sits comfortably alongside them at a more accessible price point.
How to use
- Spray onto clean, moisturised skin from around 15 cm away.
- Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck and behind the ears.
- Two sprays of an EDP is plenty; the praline-vanilla-musk base projects warmly and lasts well.
- For a longer scent trail in cooler weather, mist lightly onto hair or clothing.
Size: 100ml — the everyday format for dressing-table and travel use, presented in The Icon line's signature pebble-style flacon.
