Iceberg Effusion Man

The opening is sharp, fresh and peppery. It becomes warmer and sweeter later because of the licorice and anise I guess. The drydown is warm woody and soapy-musky but still maintains its fresh component. For me it’s not as bad as some people mentioned bellow, although I agree that this perfume is rather generic and basic, but I don’t mind at all. Who cares if we smell so basic? I promise most people don’t. 🤷🏻

Probably the best smelling iceberg.Its very fresh,doesnt last long it would be great for gym or school.Dont expect much from a 15$ perfume.

Fragrance that I stealthily tested among the fragrances of my teenage grandson: a fresh citrus / spicy fragrance, bright the notes of anise, submerged the floral notes. Dynamic, sporty, summer fragrance.

Nose Note #358 I have one from 2002 and I don't know if it gone off or something, but it's sweet and kind of spicy like Joop and it also reminds me of Minotaure. Definately heavy on pepper and licorice. Don't know what to say. I really like Joop and Minotaure, but this one is super weak

It is ok for casual wear or the gym. Peppery, citrusy and fresh. Outdated. Basic.

I really tried to like this one. Every so often I will spray some on my wrist to see if my opinion of it changes, but it always turns me off. I bought this blind and wish I didn't. The most polite way I can describe this scent is that it smells like a cheap, lemon scented, powdered laundry soap soaked with urea. It's not overwhelming, it's a light sweet and sour citrus cologne, it's just that it's bitter-sweet top aroma is something I want to avoid. I would never want to smell like that in public. I usually like anise in a cologne, so I suspect that it's the freesia or orange flowers that are putting me off. A bad mix for me. I have Iceberg Twice of this brand and it is at least likable, and wearable. Though Twice is not one of my favorites, it's much better than Effusion. Another one that should be tried before buying, it's not for everyone.

Not much to say here, this was the first fragrance I owned as a teenager. Cheap, pleasant, but also slightly forgettable. It does the job of being a light, inoffensive lemony fresh spray upon initial application, which settles into a sweet, almost powdery dry down. Not bad, nor groundbreaking but that's about it.

A light, woodsy and fresh scent. Very close to the skin and subtle, so it's a light intimate fragrance. Unfortunately it doesn't last very long, unless whoever is smelling it is within at least 2 or so feet of you. But if you are around women it's a great scent that should rarely overwhelm anyone.

Bought this cos i saw it cheapest at the store.. sure regretted that. All it does is attract flies within the first 10-15mins of spraying. After that, silence. Not ONE compliment during the whole period i used Effusion. Pweeew!!!

Suitable only for going to the gym. I will definitely never buy this again. There are cheaper fragrances that have better projection and longevity. The smell is not bad, but as I spray it and walk to the gym which takes me only 5 minutes in total, it’s already half gone.

A light and airy scent with notes of anise and black pepper running through it. Very much in a similar vein to Lanvin's Oxygene. Doesn't project particularly well, nor is it very long lasting. It is however fairly pleasant and inoffensive and would make a decent office fragrance. Unfortunately it is also nothing out of the ordinary and you can definitely get better for the price.
