Unfortunately not by Yves Saint Rochas
The fragrances from the house of Yves Rocher always carry a certain lack of glamour, despite their excellent intention with natural raw materials and high environmental awareness. They are too far removed from the exclusivity of Yves Saint Laurent or the sophistication of Rochas. However, the scents are affordable, but by no means cheap.

As an example, there is Antartic, completely underrated and probably only known to a few. Certainly, as a newcomer from the early 90s, it is hardly innovative or revolutionary, but it does its job as a pleasant summer fragrance more than adequately.

I am not even so sure if absinthe was really mixed in here. If so, they would have been quite ahead of their time. Rather, it is a tiny hint of mint that you catch a whiff of. Along with a bit of lime and spicy thyme. Thus, for a fresh scent with a delicate sharpness and less aquatic notes, it is relatively far from a Cool Water copy, even though they are fishing in the same waters.

Antartic does not undergo breathtaking developments or metamorphoses; it remains from the start an unobtrusive office or leisure companion for hot days. And it works splendidly in that regard. We have already discussed the topic of reapplying at a low price several times. It’s just a pity that it can no longer be purchased. Would it perhaps have gained more esteem under a cooler bottle and a cooler brand?

though old but
... still acceptable.

it has a strong spicy scent, long-lasting. The lime note is hardly noticeable.
It is not sweet or disgusting.
Well suited for the gentleman in a good suit.

Strangely, one of my favorite scents. Maybe because it’s tied to memories. Fresh like a morning on the Côte d'Azur.

The gigantic waves of the ocean. Antarctic would be the better Cool Water. Fresh, vibrant, aquatic, alluring. Are there similar scents?

A nice fresh everyday scent. I liked wearing it in the mornings before work. Nothing special, but okay. Too bad it was discontinued.

The scent of an iceberg broken off from a glacier in the icy, clear blue water near Antarctica. The name fits perfectly.

Fresh, slightly spicy & lightly sweet at first. The fresh & sweet notes don’t last very long. The base is spicy, floral (lavender?) & powdery.

Soft-powdery-natural, unfortunately only with the endurance of a sprinter. I wish I could have smelled it longer,

Herb-fresh and very masculine. On a cold winter day, I like wearing something like this on me too.

I've liked it since my earliest childhood, but I'm only realizing now how quickly it fades, 2 hours of longevity. Sillage?
