Jimmy Choo Man Ice

It's really tiresome to read so many pretentious comments, trying to justify notable ignorance using clearly predictable topics (of course not all, fortunately it is already seen in the reading who knows what he is talking about, and there are great critics too). Those kinds of comments are common and normal, but totally bland... And most of the time, what they reflect is a notable lack of education: - First, the gratuitous insult to the perfumer, the renowned artist Michel Almairac. - Second, the evident lack of criteria that is useless for anything else other than to confuse. - Third, their toxic and clumsy attempt to justify their prejudices, relying on the fact of praising the most renowned brand and detracting from the other, something so typical... I'd intended to review this fragrance, but after reading so many ignorant incongruity, now I have almost lost my will. But ok, to be brief: Jimmy Choo Man Ice is a great fragrance, especially for sunny days: Fresh, fine and classy. - Average longevity for this kind of fragrance (and if you don't know what I'm talking about, learn first). Great fixation on clothes. - Moderate projection. What I have to say about its "equivalence" with Dior Homme Cologne: Jimmy Choo Man Ice and DHC are in a similar opening, but its dry-down differs exponentially from the first minutes; even their olfactory profiles belong to different olfactory families: JCMI is woody aromatic, with a more complex blend; DHC is citrus aromatic, a much simpler and direct composition. They coincide in the type of occasion that you are going to use one or the other, but they are quite different, actually; you can have both perfectly. Which is better? Well, that is a matter of taste ... But what is undeniable, is that Jimmy Choo Man Ice value for money (now in discounters) is indisputably better. In fact, it's amazing. Dior Homme Cologne is a great fragrance, but for what it is, it's, expensive. To conclude, here you have a great icy-citrus-woody scent with an amazing value for money. A clearly recommended fresh "designer" release.

Killer scent with DEADLY performance (cause it dies in 3 hours) If you're like me and love citrus forward summer scents then it doesn't really get much better than this, I see some places trying sell it for around $100 and it definitely is not worth that much, but if you can get it for around the $40 area like I did then it's a no brainer. It's pretty close to Dior Homme Cologne but by no means is it a clone, it's maybe 75% DHC but it has it's own personality. The JC seems to be a slightly more mass appealing and "generic" take on the DHC dna, it has that generic male fragrance ambroxan note that you are not gonna find in DHC, giving it a bit more punch and fizziness, best way I can describe it is that it feels both were made using the same lemon, DHC using flat water while the JC used sparkling water, not a good or bad thing it's really just a personal preference type thing, if you prefer a more straight up lemon smell and don't mind paying 4x the price then just pick up the DHC, bottle is gorgeous with the best atomizer in the game, but if you prefer your fragrance to smell more like a normal perfume then get the JC and you also save quite a bit of money, the JC atomizer is also surprisingly good! Performance wise both fragrances really perform about the same, good projection for abour an hour, skin scent by the 3rd hour and fully gone by hour 5, both are great for maybe running errands and going to the gym, but only viable for a long day if you carry a travel size with you.

I remember the first time I smelled Jimmy Choo Man Ice, my eyes rolled in the back of my head and stayed there. It has a scent that gives you a feeling of exhilaration and is sure to put a childish smirk on your face. It's a frosty, creamy lemonade scent. Very brisk. Smells like a pitcher of lemonade filled with lots of sugar, and lots of ice cubes. That vetiver punch makes it all the more better. To me, this is one of the best citrus + woody aromatic fragrances out there within its price range. Period. The smell, for what you pay for, is simply genius and it's no surprise that it continues to sell very well. At one point, I made the silly decision to sell my original bottle to a friend of mine and my gf lost it. She immediately purchased a brand new bottle for me and told me to never sell it ever again....LOL. Nowadays I can't imagine it NOT being in my collection. Unfortunately, it is lacking in the longevity department. I have to spray it more than usual just to get it to stick and last on my skin for longer periods of time. And that's with all Jimmy Choo releases it seems. Also, this is actually the only release of the Jimmy Choo line that I actually like and still reigns supreme as one of my top favorites. If Jimmy Choo Man Ice had an improvement in its overall longevity, it would blow similar fragrances that are priced much more out of the damn water. Longevity gets a 6 out of 10. Performance 7 out of 10 Smell gets a 15 out of 10. It's really a genius scent...

Ok so I originally fell in love with Dior Homme Cologne. Full bottle worthy retail for me. Well I stumbled on the Jimmy Choo at a rack store for cheap, read the reviews, said what the hell, and bought it just to see. I really liked it. I thought it was a nice juice, just not as smooth and interesting as the Dior, so I gave it to a friend of mine. Fast forward: I was hanging with my friend, and he smelled AMAZING. I had no idea what it was. I asked him, and he said "Jimmy Choo"! I'll be damned. How did I not recognize it? Well, a few weeks pass.. hanging with him again... I was like, DAMN son you smell so good, what is that? Yet again, I was smitten.. dat JIMMY CHOO! This one definitely does not get enough love. I'm guilty too, I gave it away! No bull, this is some sleeper juice on the cheap. Very nice scent trail when walking behind him. He said 4 maybe 5 sprays. I could sense it for about 5-6 hours. It was not the lemonade vibe we get in the opening, but that alluring musk that reveals itself in the drydown. Very nice presentation as well, with a pressurized atty. Goes to show that we should tread lightly when making judgments about fragrances. Either a fragrance does not reveal its whole story all at once, or more likely, we as humans are just not patient and receptive enough to hear that story. This went from a like, to a LOVE TLDR: Get it cheap, spray a heap, thank me later.

Jimmy Choo Man Ice Una de las fragancias más adictivas que he olido para verano. Sus notas ultra cítricas y frescas (cidra, bergamota y mandarina) junto a la nota de almizcle (olor a limpio) brindan la sensacion de estar frente a una limonada helada (literal); además, al estar acompañadas por notas amaderadas y el toque exótico de ambroxan, la hacen un golpe inmenso de presencia juvenil, aventurera, y un verdadero vicio al olfato en epocas calurosas o noches frescas, de esas que no se pude dejar pasar o ignorar. El ambroxan se siente y percibe bien en esta fragancia. No disminuye ni tampoco complica las otras escencias con las cuales armoniza de manera fenomenal. De todas las fragancias cítricas que he podido oler, ésta, sin duda alguna, es la ganadora y la que más intensidad de sensación cítrica transmite. Y es que una vez que su delicioso aroma toco mis sentidos, ya no hubo vuelta atrás... ya no pude despegar mi nariz de mi muñeca y, tampoco quiero. Otra fragancia muy, muy, muy parecida y que aparentara ser un clon exacto es la Dior Homme Cologne (la cual está mucho más cara). Y otra también similar, pero con un toque más serio es la Montblanc Legend Spirit (EDT) la cual está a un mejor costo que la Dior.
