Superstar of the Top Note - Sprint Instead of Endurance

I would describe Frozen Liquid as a superstar of the top note; even as it develops, the scent remains pleasant, exciting, and always good-smelling, but it reveals a significant weakness very quickly.

This is about the "strength" of the fragrance. Neither the longevity, let alone the sillage or projection, are even remotely worthy of the very high purchase price.
Surely there are many friends who do not want to carry a loud scent with them, but would you spend around 215,- euros for a fragrance that literally evaporates after about 2-3 hours? I certainly wouldn't, no matter how beautiful the scent may start.

If we take a closer look at the superstar sequence, we find that Frozen Liquid begins its journey with an outstanding mint note.
The whole thing is beautifully embedded in fine citrus notes with a grapefruit that I find exceptionally pleasing.
The fragrance feels super fresh and revitalizing, simply delightful!
This impression is surely supported by galbanum, which, with its fresh, greenish nuances, fits excellently with the top note without being dominant.
With amber, musk, and cedarwood, a perfect base has also been created, which prevents the fragrance from ever appearing angular, sharp, or scratchy.
For me, the first hour is a 9.5 out of 10, and if the fragrance lasted on my skin and projected a bit more clearly, I would have definitely purchased it.

However, as already hinted, Frozen Liquid loses significant strength after the first hour. Here, longevity ratings of up to 8 are noted, which strongly irritates me.
Either I am nose-blind or my skin destroys this superstar; I don't know, and I am very curious about other opinions.

Comparing it to "Menthe Froide | Aura Perfume / Bijon," one can say that Frozen Liquid is significantly softer. However, the Bijon lasts much longer on me, and my surroundings also perceive this scent. Therefore, I would prefer the Menthe Froide at any time. (Unfortunately, it's now hard to find...)

My conclusion: It's a shame that it performs so poorly on me; otherwise, it would be one of the best I've smelled so far.

Yes, that's really too bad.

The pricing here is hard to understand, what a shame.
This mint sounds extremely trophy-worthy!

The P/L seems psychotic, but otherwise sounds good.
