For a long time, this fragrance was among my favorites until I became more experienced in perfumery. Unlike the blue ice version, this one seems too youthful and overly citrusy, although, of course, it really is ice. When it was discontinued, I was very upset. A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon a sealed bottle, its expiration date hadn't passed too long ago. Fortunately, the scent hadn't spoiled, but now it no longer evokes the same emotions as before. It seems to have become less natural, simpler, resembling a deodorant. It starts very cold, frosty, with citruses and, importantly, lemongrass. I adore this note, I love drinking lemongrass. Overall, that's it, almost no other notes are audible, except for a juniper accord that appears about half an hour before disappearing, linking ice with Light Blue DG and other citrus fougères. Longevity was disappointing, the bottle was made more than 6 years ago, it had matured, but if sprayed, the longevity is only about 1 hour 45 minutes, from hair it's audible for about 2 hours. This, unfortunately, is upsetting. But for the first 40 minutes, the sillage is noticeable, compliments are guaranteed. The last experience of using it wasn't as pleasant, but I'm glad I got to remember and say goodbye
