Absolute Chill

I usually do my best to ignore hype surrounding a product. This one didn't receive a ton that I saw but what there was seemed very positive. As I was looking for a fresh, warm weather scent for the gym and dossing in the garden this sounded ideal, the notes really appealed to me. The price was very reasonable, especially when compared to the LV it mimicks, seems like a good option. I'm pleased to say it really is a super fragrance, punching well above it's price range and then some. It delivers in every aspect. It's fairly powerful, sillage is very good and the longevity is excellent, out performing the original! Is it as high quality as Pacific chill, well no probably not but in its defence it's bloody close scent wise! No one I've encountered could tell the difference. Only when they are side by side would you probably know, yet 20 minutes into wearing absolute chill it's still popping off of your skin, in fact 2 hours later it still feels like it's been sprayed moments ago. Can you honestly say LV does that? Even if the answer is yes, I feel that for around a 10th of the price the original is a hard pill to swallow, a bit of a disgrace really! It's a lovely blend and combines the top notes beautifully, far better than it's meager price would suggest. The mint, citrus and blackcurrant are gorgeous. Then just beautifully enhanced by an aromatic base tinged with moss. "Flippin Eck", it's a very well done and complete product. Honestly, it's one of the few times that you genuinely get so much more than you'd expect. Its surpassed my expectations by a country mile. So, as mentioned this will pump off of you for a good few hours at well over arms length, probably double that. The trail you leave behind is not only stunning and enticing, it does it without making people baulk and seek clean air asap. They may not enquire but trust me, people will want to know what you are wearing for sure. I trained hard this morning for around an hour, came home and immediately walked the dog for another half hour, had a bite to eat and a coffee. By this time I'd been wearing this scent approaching 5 hours. Still easily detectable and giving off a solid, pleasant bubble of comfortably a metre+. I had to shower as I was off out, still faintly detectable on my skin before I opted for a traditional barbershop for the rest of the day! On my first wearing a few days ago I went the whole day, I mean 14 hours and I'd say it was still way more than intimate. In fact, when I woke the following morning I could still smell it on my sheets and skin. I hate all these phrases such as "Banger", "easy reach" and "no brainer" but in this case it seems to be the best and most apt description. I'm a middle aged man so probably not the intended target but it's just so fresh! 😆 Anyone can wear this, young, old and either sex. Wear it when and wherever you like. Just watch your spray count and moderate depending on your situation. I'm literally about to order another bottle so I have a back up, not something that I do very often, it's out of stock a lot and I don't want to run out of it if it gets discontinued at some point. Probably, pound for pound the biggest bargain of the year so far!

Great smelling fragrance. Got it for $C50 and smells way more expensive. To me its a photorealistic cititrisy freshie that has layers you can peel away with each sniff. I'm still discovering little nuances with each wear, making me fall deeper in love with this scent. Very good for everyday wear as it's clean and non offensive but sophisticated. Easy to grab if you have problems picking a scent on the fly, this is a superb default! Edit: Just tested this side by side with LV Pacific chill and I am both shocked and disappointed! Pacific Chill opens much smoother and has a fruity citrusy and freshness. After 15 mins, it is exactly the same as Aralia Absolute Chill. However, not even 1 hour, its pretty much a skin scent. As of writing 2 hours in, it is almost gone unless you smell the spot directly with your nose up to skin. Expected much more for the price LV is commanding for their fragrance. On the other hand, Absolute chill shocked me with the performance and scent that is offered for only $50 CAD. I would say the two are indistinguishable by layman. And the longevity is at least double if not more at 6+ hours. I already see downvotes coming in from LV or perhaps gate keepers.

Atralia Absolute Chill completely surprised me. From the first spray, it gives a fresh green vibe that some people around me described as “ripe guava,” but to my nose it feels more like crushed basil leaves — especially that large/violet basil type aroma with a slightly fruity-green sharpness. Very addictive and unique. Performance is honestly crazy on my skin. I spray it 3–4 times a day just because I enjoy smelling it again, even though it easily lasts 8+ hours with strong projection for around 90 minutes or more. The dry down is where it becomes really beautiful for me — resinous, mossy, smooth, slightly earthy, and comforting. That lingering base is probably my favorite part. What makes this fragrance special is the way it “comes back alive.” Every few hours I suddenly get these short nuclear scent blasts for a few seconds, almost like I just reapplied it. That magical reactivation effect keeps pulling me back to smell myself again and again. Some people may find it slightly feminine at times, but honestly I don’t care. If a fragrance smells this good and makes me enjoy wearing it this much, that’s all that matters.

It starts with a bright, spritzer-like opening with a cool undertone from the mint, basil, and kiwi. This sticks around for about an hour and turns a little more musky green on the dry down. It is kiwi dominant, yet it doesn't overpower the experience as a whole. This has been generally well received by everyone I've shown it to. It's different enough to stand out while remaining inoffensive and appealing. The performance is pretty damn good, especially in humid climates. 2-3 hours of decent to good projection and lasts pretty much all day on my clothes. I've seen some say on here this might lean a little feminine, and I personally say it does to a minor degree in one certain aspect. The kiwi will come off as familiar to a lot of people because it's a note more often used in feminine products than anything made for men. But it just works. The bright citrus along with the basil and mint make this thing pop. Fizzy, cool, fresh, mellow, with a mouthwatering zing. I love this stuff. It kind of scratches that itch between niche and mass appeal that I'm generally looking for.

About to come in today, i have the og lets see how it compares. Edit: Alright, the opening to me is 1:1 very very very very close can't tell a difference, in the drydown its a little more citrus heavy. Could be my nose but i have both and tested them so idk. Longevity is very good for a freshy and has very good projection. Great Blind Buy. Edit edit: alright after extensive smelling and longevity testing, i might be the only one here to get this but i have taken a shower and washed my hands with this thing on the back of my palm and its still there, the longevity for me is abolutely insane, though obviously as a skin scent. The only other fragrances in my collection that does this is very thick heavy vanillas so this is a shocker.

Wow! I blind bought this off Amazon because the price was right and reviews were promising. I am a typical Gen X'er that prefers classic, masculine scents. I really didn't expect to love this but I do. The mint, basil and citrus combine to create a delightfully pleasant Summer scent. My wife and I used to go to a restaurant that served a homemade cucumber spearmint lemonade. It was the most delicious, refreshing beverage and this is comparable as a scent. Great for vacation or if you just want to put yourself in a good mood. Definitely unisex but not overtly feminine. Just clean, minty fresh with a burst of citrus. Puts a smile on my face every time I wear it.

I love it, no comment on pacific chill influences. Never tried it. Reminds me of the flavor of juicy pear jelly belly candies, which don’t taste like pear. But the dry down is 100% dolce and gobanna light blue for women. I know because I bought it on accident and didn’t realize it until I was already covered in it. Was pleasantly suprised I enjoyed it regardless. This was reminding me of it verbatim for a whole 12 hour work day after 2 sprays per forearm. Anyone who says this doesn’t last is probably spraying it closer to their nose, it projects a bubble for ages. Imho ofc

I own Rare Reef and like its opening, but the saltiness in the drydown clashes a bit with the overall vibe. I've tried the LV original, which is an amazing freshie - I don't think any of the clones mimic it 90%+, but this stands on its own. This is basically a more playful Torino 21. Exceptional for the price (I bought this after receiving Magma Ember Dusk, also by Atralia, as a gift and being really impressed). I do prefer the opening of this to Rare Reef's - I really love mint in frags, it's just my thing. I still have room in my collection for both though. Lovely stuff.

Blind bought this fragrance, because I am a huge fan of every Atralia offering so far. It has a great presentation and atomizer as expected. This is a citrus grenade. The opening has a sharp lime zest, which overpowers, but give it about 10 minutes, and it dries down to a fresh, aromatic spring/summer option with a fairly good sillage. It lasts for 6-8 hours, which is surprising for a freshy. I'm looking forward to experimenting with layering it. Overall, it's another winner for Atralia.

The actual scent is incredible - fresh, fruity, minty and not at all synthetic like a lot of fragrances at this price. Definitely doesn't project well, but neither does pacific chill or anything similar to this. Lasts a while, but I feel like only people giving you a hug or something would smell it after the first hour. Great value for money and smells so good, but the longevity and sillage lets it down slightly. Cant ask for everything at this price, though.

Sprayed on LV Pacific Chill in duty free. Noticed Absolute Chill a week later and Blind bought it. Dang sure enough 95% what I was smelling prior in DF (to my mind) except this is a little brighter and wow the Tea and Mint note. Go ahead and just get it if you are into the LV vibe. A premium scent hands down nailed it.

Starts of with a fresh, bright, and juicy orange. Then slowly dries into a greenish mixture with the citrus still there and then a fresh fruity citrusy tea. Great overall scent wise it was a tad bit lighter overall though very good for 19 bucks. 8.9/10

This fragrance is quite unique. It does start off very fresh, very citrus. Then it moves into a spicey-fresh that is all it's own. Others have described it perfectly. Try it. If you're looking for a spring/summer freshie, this fits the bill perfectly.

The perfect summer scent. Fresh citrus, surprisingly naturalistic and unsynthetic for the price. Juicy without being sticky. While the projection necessarily strong, it's perfect for hot weather, and it lasts a good 10+ hours on my skin.

Delightful fragrance! I'd take this over Rare Reef any day, and it's the highest quality dupe of Pacific Chill that I've smelled yet. To me this smells like the freshest lime or green lemon you've ever smelled, with a touch of mint.

Great fresh citrus sweet tea scent. Never smelled Pacific Chill to compare it to, but even as its own scent I think it’s really solid. The only thing is that it might lean a bit too sweet for some but personally I love it.

never had pacific chill to compare so not sure if its the same but this scent is absolutely refreshing. minty, fresh, feels like in a luxury hotel kinda calming kinda vibe. great for daily use, gym, definitely a day scent

I don't care whether or not smells like pacific chill, only thing I know is that this fragrance is a must have for spring and summer if you are on a budget and don't want to overpay to smell amazing this is it!

To my nose and memory this smells exactly like pacific chill, maybe slightly fruitier or sweeter if anything. I have smelled multiple dupes and can say this is way better than afnan rare reef or pacific aura.

Beautiful fragrance and by far my closest to the OG ! The magic is in the DRYDOWN !!! Wow ! Longevity wise , I get around 5 hrs on my skin Have tested on clothes .... But I know it needs time to “macerate “
