Fire & Ice

I'm loving the fact that Revlon makes perfumes. I never knew that until I discovered them on Fragrantica years ago. I'm a big 90's girl, I loved everything from 90s fashion to perfume to music and more. But somehow I missed this awesome creation! Fire&ice is becoming one of my new favorites... I especially love the cheap price tag :) The best way I can start describing this perfume, is that it smells eexactly like VS Amber Romance! To a T! I see perfume comparisons all the time in reviews, and I find those ccomparisons aren't always accurate. But everyone is right about the Amber Romance similarity with this one. Side by side, I can hardly tell them apart. But somehow, I like fire&ice better. It's definitely longer lasting, better projecting, and there's a definite nice hot&cold feeling whilst wearing this. It also has a prominent incense and straight Amber smell in the Dry down, where Amber Romance is more vanilla. man, it smells so good!!! I know this is cheap in price, but it does NOT smell cheap what so ever. It's very interesting. Like an icy cherry vanilla. There's actually more to it than that.. I'm smelling a bunch of things in fire&ice, but I'm not sure what. I just know it's very nice and balmy.... Comforting, sexy, sweet, unusual, habit forming lol. A winter scent for sure, but I can also imagine this working good on a hot summer night in the tropics. While this does strike me as a 90s vibed scent, it's still up to date . Women everywhere are still buying Amber Romance directly off VS shelves, so this type of scent seems to carry a modern appeal. A lot of 90s perfumes are very obviously 90s. You feel a little too loud and dated in them at times.. I.e: chopard Casmir, Organza, Rochas Tocade and alchemie, etc. I never get this feeling from fire&ice. Once I get a new bottle, I can see myself putting this on my top 10 shelf. I'll probably wear it everyday for awhile. I especially love how rich it smells dried on clothes. Very creamy and sweet. You'll end up sitting there inhaling the corners of your sweater. If you love Amber Romance, you can't go wrong. And if you're looking for a good/cheap new blind buy, I recommend ordering fire&ice. I see mainly all rave reviews on it. It's the type of perfume that most people will love and crave. Spray all you want. At 10$ a bottle, go ahead and douse yourself in it. Everyone around you will love it.

O' perfect amber where have you been all my life? After procrastinating purchase for years as the incense and tuberose notes were scaring me, I finally succumbed and will never look back. I LOVE Revlon Fire & Ice. It is The Perfect Amber I have wanted and needed forever and this blend is so well done I can detect no incense or tuberose. I adore incense-y fumes but have enough to embalm all of us so I needed some other stuff. (I'm kidding. I wanted it, but 'want' is 'need' when you're a fragrance junkie.) This is beautifully basic amber with a perfectly balanced sweet and sour (sweet orange), rich, deep, powerful, intense, warm , smells and wears high end for the price; a must-have staple perfectly as/is or for layering. This is a high quality blend that is long lasting and gratifying. Strong but not too sweet, sour, synthetic, screechy, none of that business we try to steer clear of. As for the comparisons to Cherry Vanille, I had that synthetic mess of stuff and I disagree anything like that is happening at all with Fire & Ice. Very well balanced and lovely, not too heavy on any of the notes. It is strong for the first few minutes so spray carefully. I like 'em big and rich but the cologne spray packs a wallop. It will dry down pretty but this is not one I recommend spraying liberally right before greeting people. Fire & Ice is a classic beauty in every way and The Perfect Fixer for any fragrance that may feel too cold, dry, unisex. This blend is the stabilizer that will take those fragrances up (or down) a notch should I decide at the last minute what I sprayed earlier is not sweet or warm enough for my mood. Last night, I spritzed a favorite unisex frag which started feeling a bit more dry and woodsy than I was in the mood for. A pop of this knocked the woods right into place and added the perfect touch of sweetness without clashing with my original scent one bit. This is gorgeous for a steal of a price. As all cooks need ingredients in our kitchen to tamp down and round out recipes, all perfumistas need an excellent amber to do the same for our fragrances. Here it is. Oh my goodness retro Revlon, when you got them right, you got them perfect. Get. Thissss. Ssssstuff. You 'need' it. ;) You know you do.

I decided to buy this fragrance blind based on the positive reviews here as well as the very low price. It was summer time and I added quite a few newbies to my collection. When I tried this for the first time, I was so disappointed. To me, it didn't smell like an oriental, and I couldn't pick up on any of the notes at all - not even one. I couldn't understand why so many people liked it. I decided to put it away and move on to others. The seasons changed and I suddenly remembered that I had read a lot of reviewers who said that many of their frags smell totally different on their skin depending on the season. Since it was now winter, I decided to give this one a second chance. I'm so glad I did! JACKPOT!!! I have worn it almost every day AND night since. This is OUTRAGEOUSLY good juice! When you consider the well blended notes, the good quality, the longevity, the super low price, as well as the utter DELICIOUSNESS of this scent...I have no words. This one has just been added in my mind as one of "the greats" of my collection. I am always a fan big fan of oriental frags, and to think in summer it smelled more like bug spray (on my skin at least) and then in winter it metamorphose into this elegant gem...INCREDIBLE! Outstanding spices, oh-so-rich-and-comforting base notes. On my skin it seems as though I experience all of the notes on impact of the perfume to my skin. It still gets better and better with time, but this is one of those rate frags that I can spray and go, confident that whomever I may go out with will not have to say "perfume overload"! It I had to compare the bliss of wearing this (cheap!) masterpiece, I would say it is like getting the most loving, comforting, and supporting hug from my husband. Truly legendary...I highly recommend that everyone at least try it once! Cheers!

Super Sweet '90s Vintage Amber Ablaze with Incense and Dusted with Icy Powdered Sugar... Opens with a sweet & powdery citrus-floral with some cool, faintly leather-y tones from osmanthus. This is the ice, and the effect here is like frozen icing-sugar with faint & soft marshmallow undertones. As it transitions to the heart, the floral tones expand bringing more fluffy sweetness, while warm amber and incense are swelling through. This is the fire, and the warm amber is the star of the show, lit up by incense, underpinned by soft musky woods, and dusted with a layer of icy powdered sugar. Alongside all of this, there's a vintage '90s amber-woody vibe, and I catch reminders of other '90s amber woody scents. I find this very sweet, although it isn't a sticky sweetness - more powdered sugar sweetness - and those who like super sweet scents might like this. Well into the amber base, the sweetness does settle a bit. I find something compelling in the amber base which reminds me of scents like Amarige Mariage, although this is more powdery in the top & heart notes. Performance is excellent, but the sweetness makes this best for cooler weather. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Update 02/06/25: Sprayed this on this afternoon. First thing I noticed was that the woody notes have really popped up in a beautiful way. Adds the illusion of a sandalwood facet of creamy, sweet woods. Love it.

So I was in Walmart and walked down the clearance isle to see what was available, and I see Fire and Ice for $3.00. I have heard great things previously about this perfume, so I quickly picked up a bottle for a try. I was not expecting it to smell as good as it does. I was expecting a VERY mature fragrance, which I tend to like, but Fire and Ice is lovely and could work for all ages really. It's a soft, cozy scent that smells almost exactly like Sensual Amber or Amber Romance from Victoria's secret (I can't remember which, it's been so long since I've been in a Victoria's secret to be honest). How much you spray on determines whether you wear this day or night I've found. I smell way more sandalwood when I overspray, but for office wear I find that it is very warm, smoky, and unoffensive. This is an amber bomb, and you will smell it thorughout the entire stages. The incense I find comes a little later, about an hour or two in. Longevity varies, I sprayed this on before bed and woke up to smelling nothing on my skin. However, I sprayed this morning before work and still about 3 hours in smell like I just sprayed it. I suggest trying it at least once, especially for the value you can't beat it.
