Arctic Jade Agonist 2011

this is something new... Arctic Jade starts like an olfactory ice candy. You have to like it, but the motto is spot on. Cool, but not minty. Shortly thereafter, a subtle orange note follows along with distinct floral notes that are wonderfully integrated and not too dominant. Almost every trace of berries seems to be missing. But wait... they are not individually perceivable, yet the flowers have a pleasantly fruity quality, and the ice candy transforms from a bright light blue to a cool-fruity dark blue. You almost have to buy this scent in the priceless designer bottle; it visually fits perfectly with this Agonist. The base is coming soon. Patchouli further supports fruity notes without being earthy. Sandalwood and a wonderful vanilla lead to a delicate-soft finish, in which fruity ice candy accents can still be smelled. Arctic Jade is indeed a very niche and unusual scent, but it is by no means complicated to wear. It is not bothersome and never unpleasant. It barely crosses my 90% hurdle, but I can only criticize that I hardly find myself in Arctic Jade and would hardly wear it, plus I feel that the base lacks a bit more pep from the opening.
