Sweet Heaven Ice

When I first saw this it sounded really good, but I was afraid it would be too sweet for summer, and too cold for winter. Well I think I may be right, but it also smells amazing so I don't even care. I've said that there is no more beautiful fragrances in my collection than Lattafa Vintage Radio/Al Nashama, and that's still true, but Gulf Orchid Sweet Heaven Ice is very close behind. It starts off with this beautiful fresh fruity sweet spicy plum, and some booze. It reminds me of some fruity spicy drinks that you would drink in the winter time(think Blackberry brandy or wassail but with plum). After a while you start to smell the florals, vanilla, tonka and wood, but the top notes seem to really hang on especially the spices and plum. It truly is a beautiful fragrance, and I just got it it's only going to get more smooth over time. I think if there is one thing I can say is a mark against it is I can see someone saying it's a little harsh, but I like that prickly feel in my nose and the realistic alcoholic booze note. I also don't find it to be all that fresh or aquatic it's just enough to make it not a winter scent only. It works most times of the year maybe not the highest of temps. Absolutely fabulous fantastic gorgeous fragrance. I look forward to trying the other Sweet Heaven fragrances, and more from Paris Corner in general. EDIT: So as it dries down more(about four hours in for me) the spice and sweetness die off a bit, and it starts to have a lightly sweet, soft powdery, woodiness similar to some popular fragrances from the 00's, and 10's. It's kind of giving me LaNuit, L'Homme, Mustang, Ed Hardy, D&G The One vibes. I would say anywhere or weather you would wear any of those this one would also be good for. Love it!

I have no idea how this frag is rated at 3.9 In my collection of 180-200 frags i have smelled many that were worse and had rating anywhere between 4.2-4.5 and even multiple angel's share and it's flankers clones, and even amongst them this is in my top. This is very lovely addition to my collection, i love it. The only reason i can see this being so low is many woman rating it low because they anticipated it as another angel's share clone they can use and this is clearly unisex but has harshness pushing it towards men. There's a reason it is voted as unisex but at the same time so few votes meandered to the feminine side, which doesn't happen often on fragrantica. That or someone intentionally trying to keep the score low.

Pay no attention to bozos using words like asphalt, rubber, or burnt. He's either stroking out and smelling toast everywhere, or the drugs have destroyed his logic and ability to form opinions that aren't just trying to drum up attention. It's boozy, yes. Strong, sorta i guess. Displeasing in any way, to anyone?? No chance. Cherry, tobacco, ice...... Really they all f'ing rip. Obviously you pay attention to which fragrances bring the most positive attention. Day 1 of S. H. I. was the wildest 1st wear of my young obsession. 2 convicts, a straight gang banger, gas station cashier and gas station customer who begged me to show him on Amazon. Then the cherry on top, wifey likey likey

This one will be polarizing because it is an angel share clone with a twist. It’s fresher and a little bit more citric in the top, even though no citrus is listed in the top notes. I personally love it and think it smells really good. No complaints last all day and I get compliments when I wear it to work. I wouldn’t consider this a safe blind by because some people is going to consider it too sweet. Some people’s gonna consider it too masculine. Me myself personally I am a whore for plum notes so this scratches that itch for me and I personally think it’s a winter wonder but deep winter this will get more appreciation when it’s cold AF outside.

The reviews on this one seemed really mixed and based on notes I blind bought it. Perhaps this is one of those fragrences which varies greatly depending on your personal skin, but I absolutely love this fragrence. To me, I get soft fruit notes from the plum on open but very subtle, alongside spice from the cinnamon. Leading into that hint of floral and the cashmere. And a sweet but earthy undertone under it all. It's been a compliment getter for me. My only gripe is silagine is pretty poor. Otherwise the cost to quality on this one makes it a regular part of my rotation.
