Pretty Iceberg Ahead!
Iceberg is an odd scent, in a good way! After a short flirtation with it in the early 90s I lost track of it. But I found that when it's summer or it's a warm day, and cool, crisp and citric scents bore me, I had a faint memory of Iceberg being cool yet also spicy, citric and floral with an earthy feel to balance it all out in the most unusual way. It's a very well made Italian perfume that reminds me of fire & ice trying to meet in the middle of a floral meadow. (I have an odd mind ; )

I am pleased to have found it again and added it once more to my collection where it will stay on my spring/summer/when-I-feel-like-using-it shelf. But I guess most people will prefer this one on warmer days.

On me bergamot is prominent at first spray followed by a rosy floral bouquet that is held together with a very earthy yet well suited oakmoss note. It's fresh and floral with a warm drydown that lasts and last. Pretty and feminine without being girly. Elegant and light without being shy. It's a classic in the making and a must sniff for people who are looking for an unusual summer scent, or would like an unusual 'fresh/floral with earth notes' scent in general.

The 'nose' behind this is Sophie Labbe and she has made some beauties most of us know and probably own and love. Her skill is very noticeable in this obscure and somewhat hidden gem from the Iceberg House. It retails now for a bargain but it's not a cheap scent by any means! It smells rich and luxurious and is one of those rare quality scents that end up on the market for a steal and then people think its rubbish, it isn't. The only thing I would change is the bottle design. To me it looks odd and more suitable for a male fragrance, but because of the quality/price/quantity ratio my vanity won't dare to complain! ; )

Silage is: "a pretty fresh floral that is also feminine & very elegant. " -- Longevity is: 7+ hours. If you find this unassuming bottle and fresh and pretty scents are your thing, give this one a try. Good luck! ; )

I first tried this in the depths of winter and it was not a success. My bottle hovered over the bin for a few moments, before I remembered all the reviews were about how wonderful it was in summer. Bingo! Everyone was right! A cool refreshing mix of fruits, herbs and flowers, drying down to a light elegant chypre. Hideous bottle btw!

Nothing special here, folks. Keep looking.
I just don't get this one. Based on the reviews elsewhere, I was expecting something special. It's not. It's a BTDT fruity floral that wears like a skin scent. Has it been reformulated? I sampled from a new bottle with an integrated top. Maybe it's better in warm weather?

Anyway, I think there is a reason that this is less than $15 for 100ml in a new, sealed box - the reason is the fragrance is very average, at best!

Iceberg The Fragrance is a much better choice from this company. It's a beautifully constructed fragrance that is unique and has presence.

Timeless
Some chypres of this style smell really dated to me. Somehow, Iceberg manages to pack in all the earthy goodness of a "vintage" green/woody chypre, without smelling like it's trying to hard. IOW, effortless. Perfect for put-together moods, but gentle enough to not be too fussy. (Some in this genre are real betches, if you catch my drift). Classic 90's clean lines.

Predominantly a white floral heart (soft-spicy lilies), softened by some tender herbs and aromatics. Orris, vetiver, and oakmoss combo keeps the drydown verdant and vegetal. Crisp, alert, but still easy going. Like dressing up instead of down for work on Friday, just because.

Great longevity with low-moderate projection (another thing I appreciate in a good chypre--it doesn't shriek!).

Things Were Better Back Then
This sentence used to annoy me tremendously when my mother couldn't help but talk about the good old days. Today, I catch myself thinking that about 20 years ago, even mainstream fragrances were more interesting than the fresh-fruity ones of today.

Ingepetra allowed me to sniff the scent again that back then, as a "just housewife and mother," brought me affordable joy in my daily life. The time of raising children was marked by frugality, and we had to forgo many things. However, our motto was: We indulge in the luxury of being able to afford less for a while, so I could stay at home with our son until he was really ready for school.

Iceberg always fit, it’s a feel-good scent that starts with green notes, providing a clear mind, spreading a positive mood, and the top note is far less flat than what is unfortunately so common today. Spicy-floral with a delicate fruity hint of peach, that’s how Iceberg begins. The freshness doesn’t come off as sporty but rather invigorating, and to ensure it doesn’t become too green, a beautifully balanced heart note of delicate flowers follows. Here, the scent feels directly elegant, but in a very subtle way. With this heart note, whose longevity I am not so dissatisfied with compared to Ingepetra, I was well-scented even on the rare special occasions, especially since the Chypre base in the listed form was simply "in" back then. I could always feel comfortable with Iceberg.

No, not everything was better back then, but a lot was simply good, just like this fragrance, which could still compete with many of its competitors today. We haven’t carried it for a long time, but I will look for it again when the opportunity arises.

Hello there! It smells fresh and floral from the green heights! Galbanum dances with iris and the maybell, it sweeps away my thick sock!

A trip to the late 80s.
Creamy-clean floral scent that had a pleasantly understated presence among all the heavy hitters.

Starts with galbanum, fresh and tangy, then stays green with a hint of lily of the valley.
Unremarkably good.

You need a liking for soap and lily of the valley here. I usually don't like the latter, but I enjoy the gentle note here.....

Lovely, creamy, soft fruity lily of the valley scent, with Galbanum and moss taking away some of its sweetness. Wonderful!

Bright fruity, tangy hesperidic Chypre: refreshing, more summery, unisex, very pleasant to me.
