Glacier Ultra

Scent Breakdown

Glacier Ultra bursts forth with a candied pear, bordering on sickly sweet. It's less the succulent flesh of the fruit and more like pear-flavored hard candy, laced with a brisk, almost medicinal mint. The lavender is muted, playing a backseat role to the intense opening sweetness. As it settles, the cinnamon emerges, but lacks depth – envision cinnamon-flavored gum after you've chewed it for an hour. The caraway provides a savory counterpoint, yet it's overwhelmed by the lingering saccharine pear. The drydown unfortunately unveils a plasticky vanilla, reminiscent of a cheap doll's head, underpinned by a vague, amber-tinged sweetness, and a whisper of earthy patchouli that fights to be heard. It leans sweeter, and lacks the creamy sophistication of its inspiration.

Longevity & Projection

Longevity is beastly, clocking in at a solid 8+ hours. Projection is nuclear for the first two hours, easily filling a room. It then retracts to a strong arm's length for the next four, before gradually fading to a skin scent. I wore it to a crowded bar - it cut through the noise and got noticed. I also tried it at the gym, and it became cloying in the humidity.

Final Thoughts

This isn't a fragrance for subtlety. Glacier Ultra is tailor-made for nights out when you want to command attention. Think club environments, loud concerts, or any situation where you want to project unadulterated confidence. It suits a bold individual, someone who embraces a playful, somewhat rebellious energy. It’s not a boardroom fragrance, nor is it suitable for quiet evenings. This is for those who thrive on being the center of attention, leaving a trail of sugary sweetness in their wake.
