It's cheap, fresh, citric, soft, excellent for everyday use. Smells like a clean body, and it's suitable for layering with other citric scents. Adidas Ice Dive by Adidas is a Aromatic Spicy fragrance for men. Adidas Ice Dive was launched in 2001. The nose behind this fragrance is Philippe Bousseton. Top notes are Mint, Grapefruit, Lavender, Bergamot, Yuzu, Kiwi, Mandarin Orange and Anise; middle notes are Geranium, Sandalwood and Patchouli; base notes are Pepper, Ambergris, Musk, Vanilla and Tonka Bean. Fresh. I detect more clean citrus than mint at first blast, but a balanced citric scent- not overwhelming in any way. It smells much more expensive than it really is... but it doesn't develop much, I'd say it's quite linear. I remember that Ice Dive used to smell exactly like Bleu de Chanel to me, but now it just smells very aquatic in a synthetic way and even somewhat metallic. I don't like it anymore. It is a cheap and nice smelling Frag. Yet I am not sure why, but this is extremely watered down. I have to agree that it lasts for about 1 hour and then vanishes instantly.
Deutsch | Español | Français | Čeština | Italiano | Русский | Polski | Português | Ελληνικά | 汉语 | Nederlands | Srpski | Română | العربية | Українська | Монгол | עברית Scent - Its actually pretty nice. It's fresh and a little minty. It doesn't smell too synthetic and could potentially fool someone into thinking it's more expensive than it is, if the longevity and scent weren't so terrible that is. Only the opening resembles that of BDC since the drydown of BDC has a dominant vetiver & incense which are missing in this. This is nice smelling frag, very fresh and very well blended. Yet it is synthetic and yes it is not sophisticated nor it is bold either. I can understand the comparison to BDC edt and parfum, and I also get 35% aqua di gio vibes from it. I'd wear this in the summer to go out shopping. Nice citrus and colling mint/camphor vibe but without going cold-medicine on you.Presented in sleek and fancy bodies, the Paco Rabanne aftershave range looks and smells like a dream. They’re created using rare materials to evoke a sense of timeless freedom and tranquillity. Boasting flamboyant masculinity, the fragrances are ideal for men who thrive for change and success. Aftershave gift sets I really like Ice Dive. Both it and Dynamic Pulse suit me really well, and I like scents with that late 90's early 2000's vibe. I do get a little BdC for about an hour, but then it reminds me more of some of the Axe scents from the same era. After having owned a miniature size of Versace's Pour Homme Dylan Blue for a couple months, I'll say that the fresh spicy citrus nuances in both are truly in the same vein. They both contain pepper, grapefruit, bergamot, patchouli, and musk. And though they have distinctive notes apart from one another, I believe they don't go too far off from one another in the end. A very forgettable fragrance, I don't even know how or why I own it... there are so many better alternatives; it only lasts for about 2 hours and it has weak silage, none the less after a workout, if you don't have a shower nearby, it can come in handy. Get it for that 15yr old kid as a present they won't complain, they might even like it.
My good friend David wears this as his day to day frag of choice. I must admit for such a budget fragrance it smells damn good in the air. I'd go as far as to say i prefer it over his more expensive choices like db instinct sport. Cue the current 2020's era and the entire Adidas line reappears. I wasted no time buying both the body wash and EDT. There's definitely been a formulation change, as the opening is now much better than I remember, with a complex mix of fresh, citrus, aquatic and powder aromas. However, it is also very much missing that distinctive sea salt note. Without it, there really is nothing that sets this apart from other fresh blue style fragrances on the market. FYI, I also notice that sea salt note missing from the body wash as well despite it being listed in the ingredients. PS. If you are looking for some sporty fragrances I would recommend Whisky Sport, or some of NIke (De ruy perfumes) colognes, they offer sporty and longer lasting fragrances. I did, and damn well near smashed all my front teeth out and broke my nose off of the pond at my local park last winter.
The introduction for that fragrance is a bit confusing but after a while when it dries I smell lemon and ginger, Adidas Ice Dive was one of the first colognes I ever used. In the prior early 2000 formulations under COTY, I actually used all the Adidas body washes, body sprays and colognes and Ice Dive was by far my favorite of the lot. It had a distinctive sea salt note that was very pleasant and set it apart from other products at the time. Then the entire line seemed to disappear. It starts off with a spicy (Anise) bombardment of sweet (Mandarin Orange, Yuzu) and sour/bitter citrus (Grapefruit, Bergamot). The Grapefruit and Kiwi give it a sweet and tangy opener. Mint hangs on through the scent's evolution, keeping it clean. Lavender wraps everything up with that classic soapy smell. Immediately afterwards you get a potent green and/or earthy (Patchouli) and floral (Geranium) vibe. Then even more immediately afterwards you get a flagrant body spray (musk) and salt (the ambergris) with pepper. So, a balance of sweet, sour, salty, spicy notes with freshness. The main accords my nose gets is: fresh spicy, aromatic, and citrus. The scent itself gets a 7/10. Ice Dive starts out with quite a bit of the mint and kiwi, with a little grapefruit. It has a sharp & fresh fruity smell, not overly fruity though. After about 20 minutes you get more grapefruit with a little lavender and a hint of the vanilla, which starts to sweeten the whole fragrance very slightly whilst staying fresh. Ice Dive does not really change all that much, it stays quite linear. Longevity is OK, you should get 4-6 hours. Sillage or projection is quite good for the first 2 hours, it will push of the skin but then it starts to sit quite close to the skin. Overall I do like Ice Dive, but only as a very casual scent. I would recommend trying this fragrance, 6.5/10. Terrible performance -- extremely weak in particular on projection and sillage that even overspraying doesn't help solve
Great Deal
