Snow

When I lived in Arizona for five years, the thing I missed the most (believe it or not!) was SNOW. We had it on the mountains, miles north of the city, where the ski lodge was...but it was not the same. When I saw this scent, on here, I knew I had to have it! And now thanks to a swap with a dear friend and fellow Fragrantican-I have a nice full sample... I love how the inspiration for this scent came from the many words Eskimos have for snow. Snow, in and of itself, is just frozen crystallized drops of water; so would have very little smell. However, all the things that go "with" snow do. The smell of the cold, the crisp blustery wind and the smell of the earth (cold and hard) as the snow falls on it. That fresh almost "fluffy" smell (in the air) as it falls silently floating, blowing about and piles up on the ground. All these facets of "snow" are captured here. On the first sniff (from the vial) it smelled sharp fresh and clean...nice! Today, when I sprayed some on, I made an awful face!! What the heck??! All I could smell was something akin to grey mold or that dusty build up behind an appliance that you clean (maybe) once or twice a year! *sniffs again* Really?? Okay...let's give it a chance! (So glad I did) Now, about ten to fifteen minutes later, the smell of the earth/dust/mold has passed, and a very crisp fresh cold (almost metallic, but not quite) scent is all around me. Soon after little flowers covered in sheer ice peek out; Snow went from "eeew!" to WOW! This is really amazing...from the muddy muck of rainy mud frozen solid to a crisp dryness to soft icy subtle floral beauty; Snow really catches not only the scent of snow falling but the feeling of winter. I too can perceive the "ozone" smell mentioned below; that clings to coats and people (and animals) as they come in from the cold. As it progresses, though it is quiet, it is much more than a linear single note fragrance...more of an "experience" than anything. I like watching the snow fall outside, its calm grace and how it makes the world seem even more beautiful, as it clings to everything it touches. I also get an ever so gentle whiff of something like hints of soft pine and a fine vanilla-like powder; that adds to, but does not overpower, the entire experience. Snow is something you will love or hate (or both!), but it is definitely one thing...unique! Sillage: okay Longevity: average Overall: 3.5/5 Snow (the perfume) is not what I expected, but it is very true to its name. Not something I would want a HUGE bottle of, but something I would definitely buy (to have and experience occasionally), if I could find it in a 30 ml spray! Today, the first day it snowed and stuck to the ground, I walked my dog in the snow covered meadow by the pine grove and as it continued to fall and sniffed the air and realized DEMETER had pretty much captured this smell to a tee! Not so much the true SCENT of snow, but something more like capturing the moment in a quaint painting of a snow covered landscape. Softly beautiful, cool and smooth-this is not a projection monster and doesn't last all that long...but while it does, it's wonderful!

This was my first 'niche' perfume I ever bought when I was 16, I really wanted to see myself if it smells like snow. For years my parents made fun of me for such silly purchase, telling this to their friends and family as an anecdote. But honestly I think this is one of the scents that really moved me like no other scent before and made me interested in perfumes on a deeper level. It doesn't smell like snow per se, but on the first sniff I saw a dark, wet soil with white-ashy snow melting into it on a cloudy day in February in my hometown. There's also something metallic about it, but again - it's almost photorealistic. Not every Demeter fragrance hits the spot, but this one does.

più concettuale che realmente somigliante all'odore della neve, si tratta comunque di un bell'esperimento sintetico in cui una gran dose di alcol miscelata con iso-E-super e qualcosa di indistinguibile, restituisce una sensazione piuttosto che un odore tout court. il gioco è fatto: la percezione di freddo (qualche lievissima punta di mentolo) unita al legnoso e al polveroso (nel senso di polvere sporca, non di iris o violetta) da un'idea di strada innevata. a me piace molto, non fosse per quel fondo muschiato che faccio fatica a tollerare. nel complesso, in questo giorno caldo di primavera, questo skin-scent è gradevole.

Directly the smell of snow & hail-dirt slurries of a Canadian city, in the middle of January. This is one of the demeter fragrances that errs on the side of smelling a bit *too* synthetic but not enough so to be a huge bother, at least to me. I could wear this year round if im layering it with the right stuff, though anything I would pair it with is off-market or custom. It's really up to you I guess. I wish there were more companies that would try to replicate a isolate version of the smell of realistic snow scents, because I would definitely like to see if anyone else does it better.

It's been more than a decade since I last enjoyed real snow. This may not smell like snow, but to me, this is the way snow should smell. Delicate, watery-clean with just the slightest flowery hint. It smells a bit like a cold variation on clean skin (by that I don't mean the fragrance, which I haven't tried yet, but the real thing). I can smell winter. And I love it so so much. Nice longevity and fairly light sillage.

This is a fabulous scent that creates a refreshing, snow day feeling. It has the ozonic quality, along with subtle aquatic and earthy notes. It's very light, which is fitting for something called 'Snow'. I like wearing it on casual days, or when I'll be outdoors and don't want to smell perfumey, but still want a bit of fragrance.

Thurea below says exactly what I'd like to say. This is really pretty in my hair and sprayed on my clothing. I layered it with my sample of Serge Lutens Fille En Aiguilles, which is a pine and incense scent, and the combination became something extremely compelling - as in new and different - exciting and even gorgeous.

As with most Demeter products, it doesn't really last more than an hour, but such a magical sent. I love to spray this in the room, and enjoy for a few minutes. It really does conjure a snow day for me.

I bought this on ebay so this was a blind buy. When I first sprayed it on I was like OMG I bought a bottle of DIRT!!! I was NOT happy. My girlfriend was over at the time and was laughing at me cause I was so mad. Well about 15 min past and I smelt my wrist again and all of a sudden a big huge GRIN came across my face. I do still smell some dirt but it reminds me of flowers in dirt :-) I really like it. Actually to put it better....it reminds me of flowers in dirt that have just bloomed but then you get that spring snowfall!!!(We get those a little too often in Canada..grrrr! Even though it's called SNOW I feel it can be worn ANYTIME of year, I like that! I would say more daytime use UNLESS you are just going out to a friends or family and it's a laid back type of an evening. I will be honest I don't think I'd buy it again but am not regretting I did.

The smell of the cold air clinging to people's coats when they enter a warm house on a snowy evening. For me, this isn't quite the smell of snow. It comes awfully close, but it's not quite there. I detect a cloth or wool note in here, which makes it smell to me far more like those snow-dusted coats than like the snow itself. All the same, it is marvelous. -- ETA: I bought a bottle of the cologne, but since then, I've found that I really enjoy it far more as an environmental smell or even a linen spray than as something to wear on my skin. At the Demeter sale price I paid, I don't feel too guilty spraying this around with wild abandon, but if I had it to do all over again, I would go for the room spray in the first place, rather than the cologne. Just adding this here to agree with what Teolinda, Migotka, and others have already written.

I never really smelled this as snow. It was more like dirt and heavy rain with a coldness to it. But it's pretty. Like, really pretty. It has a very light sillage, but when I was at college with people sat next to me, they'd turn their head and not say anything, but have that look in their eyes of: "Oh". As in; "Oh, that's different, but sort of nice." Or considerably less poetic as one guy said to me: "You smell nicely wet." I wouldn't sing its praises from a rooftop, but it's very pretty and would go great as a layering fragrance with something spicy and warm, something contrasting it. If not for the absolutely terrible lasting power, I might consider repurchasing it.

First it smells like alcohol. Then it smells like nothing at all. Then...wait for it.... WHAMMO. Slightly slushy snow! Suddenly I could not keep my nose off my wrist. This fragrance made me realize that although I associate snow with softness, its scent actually leans slightly toward the sharp side. It's an intriguing combination — crisp and bright yet very subtle. I wish this were a fragrance I could describe in a concrete way, but I can't single out specific notes. For me, it's all maddeningly impressionistic adjectives: Cold! Clear! Refreshing! ps: Dirt? Refrigerator? Yikes! Not to my nose, thank goodness. Mileage certainly does vary.

It smells very fresh, although at the beginning I could not smell anything except this unidentifies freshness, it does start smelling a lot like the snow from my memories. Never before had I actually thought that snow had an actual smell to itself. It does! But it is pretty difficult to describe. I just got a Snow body lotion (thought it would be better than getting a full sized EDT bottle). I think it was a good choice. I agree with Toelinda, it is not a fragrance to wear. It works better as an atmosphere spray, body lotion or shower gel.

Smells fresh, the opening note is quite unique and really surprised me. It is a very clean fragrance. I have to agree with other reviewers that it is a bit odd to wear and is much better at creating a nice atmosphere. I just want to give a shout out to Demeter. I ordered Snow, Rain, and New York Christmas and they shipped a free bottle of Hawaiian Surf with it. Really appreciate that! Was a pleasure to purchase from them. I wish I could test them out somewhere before buying them.

Cold, clean, creamy soft, and airy. Has a light floral fabric softener or laundry detergent note. It smells like mittens after throwing a snowball or the surface of a parka after coming inside from the snow. A winter freshie that would work any time of year. The unisex scent leans feminine. Light projection and average longevity.

I live in East Texas, where it rarely snows, and snow never stays. Possibly for that reason, Snow has become one of my favorite winter fragrances. I do smell the dirt in it - it smells like newly turned earth. But the overall fragrance is more than dirt- it's a fresh air, walking through the woods kind of smell. Lovely.

I don’t think of snow when I first sprayed this on my skin. Very green and earthy scent that reminds me of walking through the forest during winter which I suppose could conjure up a snow feel. I feel I could wear this anytime of the year as it has a fresh vibe and not overpowering. Definitely a great unisex fragrance.

Nice fantasy about snow in a bottle. Reminds me of the actual thing, but only in the first couple of seconds. Drydown is somehow flowery. Like a creamy white lilly or something. Longevity is very weak. I like it though. Can’t wait to try it in the winter and first snow atmo.

While it really doesn't remind me of Snow, it's fresh and alone it is not a bad singular scent. As I wrote in my comments on Blue Spruce, this shines best when layered with the scents that evoke winter reminders, Fireplace and Blue Spruce.

I've never seen or smelt snow, so I can't say if this fragrance is true to its name. That said, I do like it. It's a powdery cool scent. I like to pair it with Demeter's "Blue Spruce" for my Frostfaerie costume.

Evokes snow, notes of melon, which somehow works to create a cold, fresh sensation. A nice little spritzer, the scent is subtle and does not last, but it's pleasant and fun.

This is not something I would buy for myself or something I would probably buy again, but my aunt was getting rid of it and I love reviewing fragrances, so I thought, why not? I don't hate it. Smells pleasant at first, very crisp and clean, but more like a room spray or soap than a typical perfume smell. Very cooly aquatic and ozonic, they did a good job capturing a wet snowy feel with the scent. The sillage, even when first applied, is not great unfortunately though. I had to use a lot to get a good throw, and even then, it did not last long, felt more like a body spray, though this is an older/poorly stored bottle to be fair. By itself, I stopped smelling it after around an hour. I tried layering it with Clinique Happy Heart (2012) and Philosophy Fresh Cream and it layered nicely with each, gave a cooler dimension to the scents, and seemed to help it last a bit longer. Probably will either layer it or use it as a bedtime spray. Overall very interesting scent and I will keep the bottle, but probably not going to buy again. Makes me interested to try their other scents though!

Vanilla and patchouli with some ozonic and soil notes. Somewhere between Rain and Thunderstorm, slightly metallic and with a bit more sillage. Many of my Demeters have ended up as room sprays and I see from other reviews that I am not alone in that regard. This one, however, is a bit too light for that use. I also get the scent of powdered laundry detergent from it but it is not snow-like, which should be cold and fresh.

After testing 4 Demeter fragrances, this was weakest even after over-applying. Have to put nose against it to smell. Starts with mild laundry detergent, stale clothes, and pungent ozone tang. You can tell it’s trying to replicate snow, but is mostly laundry, dirt, and an edge of dry powder. Weak and only ok. Your time would be better focused elsewhere. Demeter’s Rain delivers better/stronger. This is softer.

Mineralc (metallic), aquatic, slightly ozonic. Very weak, turns into skin scent in less than 5 minutes, the wekest demeter frag by far. I do not get snow like scent from this, it's more colder of a petrichor than the "petrichor" scent they have, but without the vetiver note and cold at that. Would recommend? For testing only "yes", for owning a bottle "not really".

I wouldn't say this smells like snow, but it also doesn't smell like nothing. The first impression I get of this is it smells like some mermaid toy I got as a kid, and the second is of the water in a snow globe or something. Not snow, but something salty and slightly metallic and preserved. Very strange.

Smells like dirt and fresh laundry. 5/10

As an Alaskan who knows snow -heavy snow, lightsnow, dry snow, icesnow, rain snow, soft snow, wet snow, avalanche snow, tight snow, big snow, hard ice snow, slick snow, powder snow- and they also smell differently. First of all Eskimo is now an ethnic slur. There are many languages for Arctic Peoples- Alaskan natives, Russian natives, Canadian natives and dozens of languages. Just like English, its just a description of the snow. All these indigenous groups have very different languages and customs and cultures. Their diets are all different, as their religions. In Athabascan regions of South East Alaska you will see Russian Orthodox Crosses, but not so further west. The time of settling and age of civilization is not a big difference in how the weather is viewed. I thought the Demeter scent was an unscented dryer sheet smell. Now I love Dirt, its a clean, exotic smell we do not have in our dirt- which is from volcanic origins. Snow is not any form of hinderance to natives here. I also never met anyone who lived in an igloo although a lot of us build them for fun!

Well, this scent does smell like snow, more specifically, ozone with just a titch of a light white floral to give it some sun. However, they didn't stop with those two elements. Evidently they wanted to convey the outdoors which they did by adding a heavy handed dose of DIRT!! I say DIRT!! this way because that's how in your face and dominant it is. Kudos to them for getting such a freshly dug up, deep moist, rich DIRT!! with shades of grass in it as well but wow is it overpowering and the extreme level of it ruins the scent imo. I know this is quibbling but the authentic DIRT!! smell is a spring or summer smell (yes dirt smells differently in the fall or winter) so I think a little pine or some sort of conifer would have added to its authenticity. Annoying and headache inducing for me, a scrubber in fact but I toughed it out hoping it would change - everything but the DIRT!! faded but that hung in like a trooper for about 4 hours.

It is weak and the longevity is poor, however it doesn’t smell of ‘nothing’ as some commenters mentioned. To me it really does smell like fresh fallen snow on warm earth. I get a clean-laundry accord too. It is pleasant, but absolutely transient, and it does smell like wet soil as it wears down but weirdly I don’t hate that. However I would definitely not buy a full bottle, and kinda regret even getting the little splash bottle because it's rather...useless...what do I do with this other than think 'huh, yeah, it does smell like snow' when my nostrils are flush against a wrist drenched in this stuff, and snow smells almost like fuck-all? Alas, I guess that is kind of the point of Demeter's conceptual fragrances.

It smells like you just lost 20 bucks - (or whatever it cost you). This does not smell like anything at all. Oh my gosh it smells like air. It smells like wet wrist for about 4 seconds. This is unbelievable. I would not recommend anyone buy this. If you smell something from this bottle, then it's your imagination wanting to believe you got some fragrance. I am laughing so hard thinking about how they got away with selling you a bottle of water and calling it a fragrance! I agree with Magellan0101.I had to put dislike on my vote instead of hate because you can't hate a fragrance that you can't smell.

This didn't smell like anything to me at first - I was sniffing other Demeter fragrances at the same time, so I took a moment away from everything, then came back to this. It was still extremely faint and had a slightly cold, watery smell, but it unfortunately didn't remind me anything of snow. There's a certain scent that I get from a recent snowfall which is very hard to describe, and this fragrance smells nothing like that. I guess I can't blame them for not getting such a specific note and feeling right, but this fragrance is also barely there and not really worth it to me.

i got free sample of this and i'm super glad i didn't pay for a full bottle. this is possibly the worst thing i've ever smelled. i can't even explain what it smells like, it's just terrible!! and it was so, so strong, even after i washed it off. maybe i got a bad batch? actually, i desperately hope i got a bad batch. i refuse to believe anything can smell this disgusting.

Why? I get the other ones, but this one is just dirty city snow. Why would you want to smell like that is beyond me. I get it if you are longing for home or you haven't been home for Christmas in a long time....you can spray it or dab it in a piece of cotton just for sentimental reasons, but never on yourself.

It does remind me of snow because the scent is so very sharp that my nose shies away from it just like it would from the cold if it suddenly met a handful of fresh snow. but I do not particularly like it. it smells frothy, chemical and hits me high up in the forehead, like the kitchen degreaser i use.

Very confused by this smell. I was very curious to try this perfume since i live down south and miss the feeling of walking on snow. but this fragrance does not get any associations with snow when i smell it. i cant even detect what it smells like. im very confused. not snow though.

Doesn't smell like snow or anything like that conceptually. The opening is a complete alcohol-fueled mess before turning into something clean and soft like laundry detergent. Lasts about 30 minutes and is extremely weak.

All I get is the cold ozone smell of my grandmother's freezer. Unfortunately there's something almost nauseating about it. Usually I'm a fan of the the quirky scents this line puts out, but not this one!

I’ll agree with the previous reviews - this doesn’t smell like snow, more like laundry detergent (should have been Laundromat from their line...) + strong ozonic smell.

You spray this on and....it smells like nothing. I mean, the alcohol dissipates and ok, maybe for a SECOND, you get the barest whiff of ozone..?. But whatever it is, it's so hit and run, why would you bother? I sprayed it on my clothes and my Downy fabric softener OUTPERFORMED this perfume. Maybe it does smell like snow...snow is frozen water. Water has no smell. Nailed it, Demeter!

Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow I'm wearing Snow as Elsa from Disney's Frozen on Disney Cruises. I have received compliments on it & because it's the Bahamas the weather is so warm that this scent does not match with the environment but it does match with my character! I sprayed this on my hair & white-blonde wig. The kids love the smell. This is a very creatively composed fragrance. Admittedly, it's not a real perfume for one's skin & it doesn't always work with most people's chemistry. This is a harsh chemical opening, cold & strange. One can't call it fresh because it's down right cold. It is meant to evoke being out in a shower of snow, or falling snow, along with ice pellets or sleet, & falling snow flakes; not necessarily evocative of walking around in fallen powdery snow or putting your nose to snow. It's more a meteorological thing. Smells like a snowstorm. The notes are not always easy to identify. There's definitely a lot of alcoholic content in this scent. It comes off as pure alcohol almost like rubbing alcohol, very strong & cruelly cold. I smelled some floral notes, nondescript white floral notes: iris, orris, heliotrope, jasmine & powder notes. There are powdery chemicals that are trying to evoke fallen snow, especially toward the dry down when it is no longer as cold or harsh as the opening. There's also a bit of slush & it evokes a frozen pond or frost on glass windows & cars, that sleet or slushy snow not the powdery snow (although there's still some of that in there). I want to say kudos to Demeter for truly capturing a graphically real scent of snow & ice during a blizzard. Like I said this is not a real perfume. It's a chemically formulated fragrance that is better suited as ARTISTIC HAIR SPRAY. I feel that I can get whiffs of the scent and it's progression of alcohol, florals & "snow" a lot better from my hair than anywhere else It is better on one's hair or perhaps a shirt collar. It's pretty fresh as I suppose and cool, so it would feel really refreshing in the hot summer months. What better way to cool off in 90 plus degree weather than by applying some snow into your hair! A really fun & cool frag

My suggestions for combination Snow with other Demeters : Snow+ Orchid+ Violet Snow+ Sweethearts Be My Valentine Snow+ Hay+ Ginseng Snow + Lotus Flower ------------------------------------ My Personal Notes on Use and my comparative Body Chemistry: I can get reactions wearing perfumes on my skin due to the alcohols but I can have really severe reactions to synthetics which are how Demeter creates these wild replica scents. I always recommend combining scents at different, separate spots on skin or clothing so they do not muddy in smell but also so they don't create an allergic reaction on skin. Maybe it's because I am a Strawberry Blonde but most scents just end up turning musky/powdery on my skin, like Adieu Sagesse smells... my skin always smells like that up close only much less strongly,of course. I generally don't even bother with predominantly powdery florals (like White Shoulders or Adieu Sagesse) because my skin already smells that way (with a bit of that oh-so-intoxicating civet smell I supposedly carry *haha* ). Perfumes' synthetic chemicals can really bring out my body sweat smell which should not smell bad in-and-of-itself but it does indicate my body is detoxing all the chemicals and anyway, those around me do not want to smell sweat, however clean or intoxicating my SO or Jean Patou might deem it to be. (; I stick to greens and aldehydes which seem to work best on me.I almost only ever wear perfume on clothing, not skin and for this same reason I usually opt for Eaus : Because even just my body heat and of course the chemicals rubbing onto my skin read very musky and strong very easily with my chemistry.

I have only just discovfered the Library of Fragrance after one of my Christmas parcels turned out to be a bottle of Gin and Tonic from this range. I loved it so much that I went to the Library website, and bought three of the range that were on special offer. Snow is the first one I have tried.... it is a strange one. When first spritzed, all I could smell was the alcohol and an ozone note that made my nose tingle as if a sneeze was brewing. Well, that is authentic, I suppose as the cold frost air on a snowy day always makes me sneeze until I get used to it. After that there was nothing much for ten minutes or so, then a smell of dirt - slushy mud. Then some little frosty flowers peeked out along with a very faint hint of pine needles. All in all, I love this. It works better as a hair/clothes scent for me, as on my skin it vanishes far too quickly. The secret is patience - don;t scrub it off before it has had the chance to develop past the slightly odd opening.

I agree with what most people said on here. The top notes are very overwhelming and not in a good way. It smells strongly of alcohol and something very sweet I can't quite put my finger on. Reminds me a bit of those nights in my teenage years when I was partying with friends and we only drank those intensely sweet alcohol mixes. Not a pleasant smell. After this (10-20 minutes) the scent seems to disappear almost completely only to return about twenty minutes later as a very soft, cold and ozonic smell. I can smell the dirt and something subtly sweet. It does smell quite fresh and clean as most people have remarked, but not necessarily what a mountain top with freshly fallen snow would smell like. It's more of a dirty city snow scent, not the nice nostalgic smell that would enter my nose when leaving the house on the first snow morning of the year in the quiet little village I grew up in. Longevity is very disappointing.

Imagine that you are in the uptown apartment of a woman whom you love and admire. She is always fashionable and knows how to put herself together. If you were to find a bottle of Demeter's Snow on this woman's vanity (because OF COURSE it would be there; this woman is like a curator of all things iconic!) At first sniff you would instantly recognize it as "that soft, beautiful scent that always surrounds her like an aura." A soft, beautiful scent which you had never thought to be manufactured... it had always seemed so effortless, so ethereal. DFL's Snow captures the moment were nature meets sophisticated technology. Cold snowy atmosphere collides with manufactured beauty. It's a figure skater who glides across the ice in a darkened arena; she's wearing silver and metallic blues. The spotlight follows her lighter-than-air dance. You wonder if she is a fairy.

My hometown snows a lot in winter and I don't think those white cold refreshing water crystal smells like this, not at all... Yes, the scent is fresh and cool, but pity, can't reminds me of snow, not at all. There is nothing wrong with the scent itself, but the name just let me down. If its name is not Snow, probably I 'll like it much more. One good thing about Demeter is that the scents from the brand can be mixed. I make a combination of Snow and Paperback for fun -- the result is suprisingly good -- feels like staying in a frozen library! However, the magic can not last for long. About 2 hours later I can hardly find any trace of the Snow left only the sweetness and sawdust smell of the Paperback...

I was particularly excited to get this one. I guess you could say I was lured in by the hype. Yet I don't get the 'cold' sensation that others get. I just get wet grass and dirt. I mean, sure, you could say that melted snow pretty much smells like wet grass and dirt. But really it is very similar to the other Demeter fragrances that try to capture aquatic moments, such as Petrichor and Firefly. I don't really get the connection to snow apart from these literal elements, which to my nose does not really capture the smell or sensation of snow. Just grass and dirt. Nothing spectacular.

This is an odd one. It has that intense ozonic freshness I associate with new fallen snow, but also the dirtiness/mixed with mud aspect of melting, slushy snow. It has a dirt/earth component along with the freshness. Very cold and icy, like cold winter wind, mixed with dirt. It's as though the scent is trying to capture all the stages of snow: the freshness when it first falls and the muddiness when it melts. It's an interesting experiment but I can't quite think where one would wear it, except around the house.

Snow. What a beautiful fragrance. On me it smells like fresh cold ozone with fresh soil. I can see why this fragrance won awards it's absolutely charming. It's very wearable and earthy. DEMETER is amazing but I wish I didn't need to reapply so often. The sillage is nice because it's not very strong. This is an amazing perfume not just for novelty but to wear on the first cold snowy day of the year. It's perfect. I'm glad the winter is over but I look forward to winter 2019. Have a nice day perfume lover's!

Demeter Snow... based on reviews and recommendation I bought Snow. However, I regret it. It is a very poor scent very synthetic and you are lucky if it lasted 10 minutes. An overwhelming burst of Alcohol in the opening that paralyzes your olfactory system for a moment then it almost vanishes suddenly and leaves you with a very poor broken down laundry detergent. I get a very cold forest hint from it but it is not consistent or even accurate. Verdict: Disappointed! Recommendation: try before you buy.
