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!

This fragrance opens up very punchy to the nose with a lot to enjoy, lemon zesty with mint, snowy and icy, and barbershopy from the sage. Surprisingly the scent dries down very linear maintaining that same scent profile so if you like linear fragrances this is for you as it doesn't change much. In terms of projection and longevity its confusing to explain unless you've tried it. It opens up very strong you'd expect to last and project for hours but within the first 3 hours it still projects like crazy but stays closer to the skin. If you sprayed it on your neck it would project to your shoulders but strongly. It lasts a while though, 7-9 hours and 12-14+ on clothes (I tend to spray a lot around 10 sprays so it may be less for you if you spray less). For a cheap freshy its very unique and I highly recommend this and its a very safe gifting option to anyone if you don't know what to get them and I absolutely love it.

You either love this or absolutely despise it. There’s no in-between. I completely understand the toilet-cleaner comparison, especially in the opening. But it rounds itself out pretty quickly and becomes something much more interesting. It’s cold, mentholated, sharp, and extremely energizing. I love spraying this when I get home. There’s something refreshing about how aggressive it is. It doesn’t try to be smooth, safe, or universally pleasant. It just commits to the idea. That’s what I like most about it. I love when fragrance houses take risks and push things this far. Don’t buy this expecting something polished or traditionally “nice.” Buy it if you want something strange, bold, and surprising. YSL Iced is smoother, more rounded, and much easier to wear. This is far riskier and definitely more offensive. But I really like it. So unique. 8.5/10

This one is a good cheapie for summer, smells like a fresh lemonade with mint in the opening then it dries down to a herbal tee with ginger and sage then its a skin scent when the peony is unremarkable. I got it for 17 euros from a good seller on trendyol and for the price i paid i would say its worth it. I dont find it harsh or syntethic, i would say its actually pretty good quality. Performance is about 8-9 hours with good projection first 2.5 hours. Its really fresh but powdery at the same time, i go about 8-10 sprays to get notice and it does the job. Suitable the best in the gym or for a lazy day. Highly recommend, Riiffs didnt dissapoint me with this one. Also i find it really masculine and i think its suitable for most ages, maybe 20+

Don’t let the negativity sway you; it’s obvious many critics were just victims of over-inflated hype. To give you a real breakdown: this scent is incredibly fresh and almost good enough to eat. While TikTok influencers tend to label everything as a basic "gym scent," that doesn't really do this justice. It’s essentially a crisp blend of mint and lemon with a sharp, spicy kick of ginger. The performance is solid—it lasts a long time—and the atomizer quality is top-tier. The Bottom Line: * If you want a distinctive, zingy lemon, buy this. If you just want a generic "freshie," stick with 9am Dive.

THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD! Does not smell cheap like it's price, it smells rich and sophisticated. I blind bought this, simple because I wanted to smell what ice notes really mean lmao. But boy I wasn't disappointed. This is very well blended. In the start I get the fresh minty, grapefruit. It's sooooo soft and powdery from the get go that I keep questioning it's price point. After a while, you get the soft floral notes very nicely blended in with the rest. The ice notes slightly remind me of the og Cool Water base note iykwim. Smell: 9/10 Easy wearable all year round.

It opens up lemon-zesty and than you smell bergamot and some minty hints, it's sharp in the opening and gets a bit more mellow and sweet as it dries-down in the best way possible. Dry-down is basically going from citrusy to amber notes and sweetness in the end. It lasts about 4 hour of very good sillage and remains a more intimate tea-amber note on the skin for about 4 more hour. In my opinion it does not smell artificial nor like cleaning products, it is a complex, unique, high quality fragrance well worth the price!

This is such a beautiful, fresh scent, a pure citrus bomb, smelling perfect regardless of when you wear it, and is perfect when it comes to summer. HOWEVER, longevity does dissapointed on my skin. It does last maybe 5 hours? But the silage only comes to maybe 1 to 2 hours, and in colder climates, it drops to maybe 30 mins. It is light and perfect for the gym, and personally works well to layer with nearly every other summer scent, like Vulcan Feu. Worth the small price point, and the presentation is near perfect.

You really need to like mint on this one. I'll call it my do-the-Dew because it opens with a crisp, minty blast of an ice cold Mountain Dew with some pumps of mint flavoring in it. The heart takes on some ginger, aromatic sage, and a bit of tea before settling into a base of amber and vague woody floral notes behind it. I feel like this is the fragrance to reach for if I'm going to be in 120F+ heat because it is monstrous and will fight the sun for dominance. Today is a perfect day for that.

To me, this smells like a lemon/citrusy herbal tea. You can smell tea and ginger note in the back of the citrus notes. You can feel the “chill” and “freeze” in the opening through minty notes. It is similar to Indonesian herbal product “Tolak Angin” in a way. Great for outdoor and during humid day. The bottle is similar to mazaaj infused, and the scent is in the same dna but more tea and ginger. Quite surprisingly long lasting for its scent type.

I have not smelled anything like this. I say it's a good fresh fragrance, also quite long lasting and strong projection. It is heavy on the lemon, it is 100% masculine imo. People are devised over this, some people tell me i smell amazing and some will say it's just not good or it smells weird. It's not a versatile fragrance, mostly usable during the day, hot weather and maybe in the gym.

dont know what it clones but riiffs definitely pulled out a beast mode freshie with freeze, linear scent profile with lemons and ozonic lasts like a full day even in indian summers on clothes with 7-8 sprays . also a unisex perfume i do like only 2-3 sprays for my gym session and has got me compliments 2 times from my gym staff.

I always give my honest review on fragrances, and this is the first one that I LOVE. The lemon and grapefruit are GREAT top notes. The longevity and projection are unmatched for a fresh fragrance, and this is a 9.5/10 summer fragrance. Smells like a cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. Would recommend.

Davidoff cool water edt was my favorite summer freshie until I found this... This is a banger... Performance is also top class for a fresh one... I got so many compliments wearing this... The comment below of TripleBee Idk what happened to his bottle bt mine lasts and projects as well...

Opening can be a bit synthetic but the dry down is great. Bright, citrusy compliment-puller. Pretty solid performance for a freshie. Blind-buy safe if you like citrus heavy scents. 8/10

this is an amazing summer fragrance, clean, minty and fresh. performance is crazy, fills rooms and gets good compliments. would totally recommend especially because it’s £25
