Burberry Sport Ice for Men

After Avon stop producing R.P.M, this come out in the market. Guess what? it's totally the same.. R.P.M from Avon was sold like hotcakes.. And this Ice Sport? compare to another fragrance in the brand, it is not a highlight. It's good, Longetivity about 5-6h which is not bad. Fresh and easy to wear. Office and day out scent.

I added this to my collection after i smelt it on one of the perfume shop. Its wonderful, i can smell ginger and citruses but more ginger, and it last until second day.

It's a lame name and clearly made at the peak of the ridiculous summer scent craze, but it's quite pleasant despite appearances! It opens with a very zesty orange and ginger with a hefty helping of juniper berries - I really do enjoy the juniper note in most designer fumes. To me, this fume is all about the ginger accented by the marine notes and the juniper, and the ginger note remains true for about half of the life of the fume. Somewhere in the middle of the fume's life, it becomes a sort of earthy, prickly ginger with a touch of woods. Some likened this to Dior Cologne (maybe the 2013 version), and they do share a crisp ginger note but I feel this is far more earthy than Dior and I favor this a bit more. Eventually, the fume does settle into a nice marine woodscent that gains a hint of creaminess over time - nothing groundbreaking but it is certainly enjoyable. I'd pick this up if you found a FB for $20 or under as it is an adequately made summer scent. I hope you all have a bit of good news sprinkled into your week!

i have this on my collection, i like it, citrus is dominant in this one :)

Sport Ice isn't exactly an ambitious name for a fragrance, and certainly sounds like something from Adidas (that you'd find for $5 per 100 ml at a discounter). However, after looking at the notes, I decided to give this one a chance. I did a dab sampling so I'll have to give it a regular wearing, which I'd like to do on a hot day this coming week. At first the ginger is strong, along with an orange-tinted citrus. The ginger is quite sharp, and reminds me of Chimes Ginger Chews. Underneath the ginger/citrus, so to speak, is a creamy element that is a bit animalic (were they trying for an ambergris type of thing here?) and has a kind of cool aspect to it (is that the juniper, mostly?). I don't seem to be picking up much calone, thankfully. And there is a mild wood note as well. This could be L'Anarchiste Summer at the Seashore (from what I remember of L'Anarchiste). What I find interesting is how people who like fragrances such as Encre Noire seem to be the same ones who won't give fragrances like this a chance. Both are simple and straightforward, and one might say crude as well. One is vetiver and wood (iso e super) oriented, whereas the other is about strong ginger and what I'd call "dirty" (or should it be called realistic?) sea water. I consider both scents rather than "perfumes," but that doesn't mean they are "bad," just not the kinds of fragrances I'd wear when I want something complex and balanced. I assume this is marketed to a younger crowd, though it's not a typical "chemical mess" aquatic, but rather has notes that contrast a bit and should work well for a hot, humid day. I look forward to finding out if this is the case! UPDATE: Over time the opening loosens up and weakens, while the wood element gets a bit stronger. UPDATE #2: After a regular wearing, I like how the ginger/orange/marine accord blends into the mild woods and lasts well. It's a bit simple for me, and lacks depth, but I don't think anyone should expect more from this kind of fragrance. If you do, then I think you may be a bit unrealistic about the market at this point in time.
