Refreshing Gin & Tonic
I have spent like a year spraying this fragrance everytime I go to the store, but I finally pulled the trigger. I see it's apparently not for everyone based on the comments but I find this to be a great spring/summer scent.
The cucumber and juniper berry gives me distinct gin and tonic, but the cucumber also evokes nostalgia for my middle school years when I doused myself in B&BW Cucumber Melon body spray and lotion. Though the cucumber note here lasts around for the full duration of wear, I find the juniper berries give way to a sort of unique rose. The rose gives me the feeling of poutperie or dried rose petals floating in a bowl of water. There's something simultaneously diffuse, blurry and watery about this rose. It is not a crisp rose but neither is it heavy. Some may call it musty, but I wouldn't go that far.
Performance is average. About 5 hours on skin, a little longer on clothes but not much. Also worth noting I adore the packaging. That bottle, the green juice...I love everything about it. For me, Roses on Ice is a real winner and a lovely, refreshing spring/summer freshie.
