Riggs London Icon (250ml) Description

“Icon” is one of the fragrance-body spray offerings from Riggs London. According to Nigerian listings, it is described as a “floral, woody fragrance infused in the exotic gourmand scents” designed to help the wearer “stand out with its aroma still trailing after he/she had long left the scene.”

Another retailer describes it as “blending woody, aromatic and citrus notes… a bold and refined scent crafted for the modern man.”

Thus, Icon positions itself as a bold yet classically styled men’s body spray with longevity and presence.

Format

Volume: 250 ml can (body spray / perfumed deodorant format) in the listings.

Format Type: Aerosol body spray (perfumed deodorant body spray) rather than a fine-fragrance EDP. For example: “Perfumed Deodorant Body Spray 250 ml.”

Packaging & Branding: Marketed with large size, “perfume in a can” language. Example: “A quick spray is all you need to feel the confidence of the sweet fragrances.”

Sensory Profile

Based on available note breakdowns from retailer descriptions (not official from the brand) we have:

Top Notes: Bergamot, Lime, Lavender, Mint, Apple.

Heart (Middle) Notes: Jasmine, Neroli, Marine accords.

Base Notes: Musk, Amber, Oakmoss, Sandalwood.

So overall taste/feel: fresh & green/citrus opening, floral-marine heart, woody-musk base. This suggests Icon leans into a fresh-yet-masculine profile with elegance rather than purely rugged or sporty.

Wear & Suggestion

When to wear: Because Icon offers a fresh citrus/green top and woody base, it’s versatile for daytime wear (office, casual outings) and early evening. The size and format make it handy for daily use.

How to apply: As body spray—hold the can ~15 cm away from dry, clean skin and spray a few times on chest, underarms, back of neck or top of clothes (lightly) if you want extra throw.

Pairing & style: Works well with smart-casual attire: e.g., collared shirt, blazer or stylish jacket. Because of its fresh start and refined heart, it’s suitable for work settings or meet-ups where you want to smell polished but not overwhelming.

Climate Note (Lagos/Tropical): In a warm, humid locale like Lagos, the fresh/citrus opening will be appreciated; however if lots of sun and heat expect that body spray format may fade faster than heavier EDPs—so maybe reapply or choose times of day when you’ll be indoors or evenings.

Longevity & Sillage: As a body spray rather than niche EDP, expect moderate longevity (perhaps 4-6 hours depending on skin and conditions), moderate to moderate-strong throw initially. Because many reviews list “long lasting” for Icon.

Helpful Tips

Application tip: After showering and drying, apply to slightly warmed skin to help scent development.

Clothing vs skin: Because you might spray some on clothes, choose dark/light fabrics accordingly and avoid over-spraying on light fabrics (in case of a mark).

Storage: Keep the can upright, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat—especially in a tropical climate—to maintain fragrance integrity and safety (aerosols can heat up).

Reapplication: If you’re out all day in warm weather, carry a smaller decant or re-spray midday to maintain presence.

Mixing with other products: If you’re using a lightly scented body lotion or soap, ensure it’s not too clashing. A neutral unscented moisturizer works best under a scented spray to help it last.

Authenticity & packaging check: Because of value pricing and the body-spray format (popular in Nigeria), check for proper branding, lot code, sealed can etc. Note a comment on this brand in a user forum:

“These popped up on a Facebook advert for the fragrance shop… Unusual for a company that so blatantly rips off another to end up in one of the major fragrance shops…”

While that relates broadly to brand perception, it’s worth being sure you’re getting genuine product.

Weather caution: In very hot midday outdoor heat, especially in Lagos, the fresh opening may perform well but the body-spray might fade quicker—so treat it as more casual daytime wear, and if you want something more heavy-duty for evening/heat consider a dedicated EDP.

Gift-friendly: The 250 ml size is generous, making it suitable as a gift if you’re confident the recipient likes bold masculine sprays.
