Freeze Riiffs 2025

According to many influencers, this scent is supposed to remind one of ice candies.
Although I occasionally snack on those, I don't see any parallels here.
Rather, it is a mass-appealing fresh fragrance that, in my opinion, smells quite unique.

The opening is my highlight.
I don't know if the listed notes are accurate, but I get a beautiful, refreshing mix of lemon and slightly bitter lemon peel.
Shortly after this citrus explosion, a mint note kicks in, providing a pleasantly cooling effect.
A truly successful start.

However, I find the drydown a bit more challenging.
The lemon takes on a slight vibe of bathroom cleaner here, not excessively, but enough to bother me a little.
While the lemon remains very present, a floral note soon joins in.
It's hard to define whether it's jasmine or neroli, but I lean towards jasmine.
However, this note is by no means feminine; it harmonizes wonderfully with the lemon and gives the initially masculine scent a unisex tendency.
Still, it feels rather masculine to me (M70%/30%W).

The character remains intact until the end.
Refreshing, citrus-floral, hardly any sweetness, and slightly synthetic.
This synthetic quality almost reminds me of Sprite in the later stages.

On performance:
For a freshie, the performance is quite convincing.
In the first 1.5 - 2 hours, it projects above average, and by the sixth hour, you still have a scent bubble that you can perceive.
In the last one to two hours, the fragrance becomes more intimate.

Conclusion: A great, refreshing scent for summer.
While I somehow miss that certain something, it is still one of the better freshies I have tested in recent years.
