Freeze

Does it smell like cleaning products? Yes👀 Does it smell like toothpaste? Yes😴 Is it overhyped? NO!!! This fragrance does 100% of what the presentation is tryna convey! Most of the things you hear about this fragrance is probably true, but I'll tell you my experience. To me, this is a dupe of YSL Iced cologne. YSL Iced cologne is very linear, synthetic(not harsh but smooth). Riffs freeze is less linear with that pronounced lemony opening. Like an ice cold lemonade. But the dry down feels like the opening of YSL Iced cologne. The lemony note is almost gone, thankfully so. This opens up like a toothpaste/cleaning products scent, still way better than waha and YSL one is not worth getting over this one IMO. Riffs freeze is much more potent than the YSL. But the dry down??!!! It beautifully simple. You will just smell so refreshing and clean like ice. It will uplift anyone you converse with. They will literally get a breath of fresh air from smelling you. And they will smell you! It projects like a nuke, entering rooms before you! One of the longest-lasting cheap-freshie fragrances of all time. It will cut though that heat like a champ. I genuinely hate the opening, but the dry down is worth the hype 💯 %. It doesn't smell as lemony as in the opening. That's what initially threw me off. But I tell you! The dry down is sooo clean and fresh like you look out your laundry from the freezer. The dry down has no depth and is very linear, it's hard to wear it on its own if you want something interesting or unique. But it's as safe as YSL Myslf. So it's one of the best fragrances to use for layering. It's a bit barbershopy and juvenile compared to YSL Myslf. This could even pass as a premium version of a generic Axe flanker but it's worth a grab. Believe it or not, this is an all-season fragrance. Just don't wear it on cooler nights. Scent: 8.5/10. Value: 10/10. Projection: 10/10. Longevity: 9/10. Versatility: 9/10.

Scent : 9.5/10 people that are saying this smells like toilet cleaner, please tell me which one because I’d love my bathroom to smell this 😆 anyway.. it opens up with the FRESHEST and I mean freshet lemon peel but more of a sugared lemon peel and a blast of well literal ice, I’d say slightly mint but not spearmint like a Artic blue mint, you also get that “designer” style clean clothe vibe immediately but it smells more unique then Y for example, as it drys down it becomes a soft clean clothes with that mint turning into a sweet vanilla mint to my nose the ginger does come out but I don’t get tea notes what so ever until 4-5 hrs later which smells like a sweet earthy black tea too my nose, and the florals come out with it Longevity & Projection - 8.5/10 2-3 hr strong projection, dies down quick after that you get another 3 hours of nice sillage until it becomes a full skin scent roughly 6 hours after spraying on, however it stays a skin scent for roughly 10-12 in my experience, I could wake up smelling it after sleeping and spraying on at 9:30pm the night before. It was just a floral amber cedar fresh clothes upon waking Overall : if you like fresh scents this is a HUGE go for me, it has a uniqueness too it that I can really appreciate while still having that designer-style safenesss to it. I’d give it a 9.2/10 overall

Got this delivered about a week ago and decided to properly test it as a daily wear. Honestly, wearing the same scent for 7 straight days is tough when you’ve got 50+ bottles sitting on the shelf 😅 Packaging: First impression was solid. The packaging looks clean and very youthful. You can tell just by the box and bottle design that it’s targeted towards the under-30 crowd. Scent Profile: To my nose, it opens like iced cold water loaded with mint. There’s a noticeable menthol-type cooling effect in the opening but not too prominent.Quality is good right from the first spray no excessive alchohol blast! As it settles, it turns into a classic citrus fresh scent with a bit of neroli coming through in the drydown. Very clean, very easy to wear. Nothing overly complex, This is perfectly suited for Indian high heat summers. The cooling vibe really works when it’s hot outside. Performance: I’m genuinely satisfied here. On clothes, I was getting around 7 hours. Projection was clearly noticeable for the first 2–2.5 hours, with proper whiffs coming in at intervals. For a fresh citrus scent, that’s actually pretty good. Overall, if you’re looking for an summer daily wear, this makes sense.

Freeze by Riiffs opens with a slightly rough edge, not harsh or chemically aggressive like some fragrances can be, but not the smoothest introduction either. The opening is built around a vibrant blend of zesty lemon and mint. The mint here isn't barbershop-fresh or sharply crisp; instead, it evokes the smell of morning dew settling on freshly cut grass, giving the fragrance a natural and refreshing green character. The combination of lemon and mint is bright, uplifting, and energizing. As it develops, the bergamot and tea notes emerge, transporting you into a dreamy, almost ethereal atmosphere. There's something genuinely captivating about the way this scent unfolds. For a summer cologne, the performance is impressive. Both longevity and projection are well above expectations, allowing the fragrance to maintain its presence throughout the day. That said, because of the slightly sharp opening and because lemon-mint compositions can be divisive ... this isn't the safest blind buy. Still, if you enjoy fresh green citrus fragrances with a refined tea accord, Freeze is definitely worth exploring. Overall Rating: 9/10

I don't know if this is actually a clone of anything or not. Something in the dry down reminds me of another fragrance. I was thinking it was Y, and it is somewhat similar to both Y clones I have, but not a dead ringer by any means. It also has that tea vibe so people may say Imagination or Lattafa Dynasty, and I can kind of see that too. Anyway this stuff automatically jumped into my top 10 summer fragrances of all time. What an amazing summer fragrance with excellent performance to boot. From first spray it's an instant refreshing mint and citrus vibe. It's so cooling and wonderful. It doesn't have much of a dry down basically the top notes fade over time and you're left with this ginger tea, and swimming pool chemicals with woods in there(typical mens summer fragrance). I mean all that in the best way possible. I don't think you could go wrong with this one especially if it wasn't hyped up so much you expected something it wasn't. Hell I saw all the hype and still had high expectations, and it still impressed me. This stuff is great! Bravo Riffs!
