Pink Ice

I decided to buy this after learning that Charlotte Russe had closed permanently, as has their online store. I had every intention of purchasing their original "Refuge" perfume, which looked a great deal like this one. I detect some grapefruit notes here...pink grapefruit (fits with the name). There are also other floral notes and a dash of sugar, though I definitely wouldn't include it in a list of overly sugary perfumes such as Britney Spears Fantasy (and Midnight Fantasy), XOXO Mi Amore, Bath & Body Works Velvet Sugar, Charlotte Russe Refuge: Nights, or the original, self-titled Snooki (all of which I'm fond of, by the way). I wouldn't say it was sugared musk, found in those perfumes. The sweetness doesn't smell as synthetic as one would necessarily think. There aren't detailed notes posted on this listing, and I'm newer to detecting exact notes than some other users on this site; otherwise I'd go more in-depth. I love both the name and scent, as well as the $10 price. I do have one complaint, though: the longevity is not the greatest, at least not on skin (clothing is a longer-lasting bet, to be honest). Silage is decent at first but honestly, it declines quite quickly after roughly an hour or two. However, considering the extremely affordable price, I won't fret too much. I'll simply spray on more, and buy another bottle if I need to (God willing Rue21 keeps stocking this one, as I don't seem to see Tarea and some of their other scents in the store anymore). I do hope they keep this one in their rotation, as---in spite of the lower longevity and spotty silage--the scent itself is extremely fresh, fun, and fruity with floral notes. Very young and girly; right in my wheelhouse. While it isn't a "mature" scent, I believe anyone of any age can and should wear whatever scents they enjoy, and in whatever price range. If you're looking to feel flirty and energized before a night of going out, a party/show, or a date, this is a great safe bet. Reminds me so much of middle school and high school, starting to shop in "big girl" stores, clubwear, and the excitement of sleepovers. I didn't own this scent back then, but it fits in with the aesthetic, and I absolutely love that. I'd wear in any season, but to me, the "ice" in the name is a bit ironic, because I think this will especially pop in the summer months.

Pink Ice used to be my go-to fragrance when I was a teenager. I remember when I found it during my very first adultless mall spree with my sister. It was Rue 21's newest fragrance at the time, but it was a shining star compared to any other mall/teen fragrance I had ever smelled. You could say that Pink Ice is my perfume first love. Sentiments aside, this fragrance is fresh and sweet, and very fruity. I would say that Rue 21 did a fantastic job of matching the fragrance to the bottle and name. The only drawback is that it doesn't last very long, so reapplications are necessary through the day. I wear this occasionally when I want to feel flirty and carefree. My rating of Rue 21's Pink Ice is 9/10.

I'm in my 20s I wear this I don't care if it's made for a younger audience I'd say anyone could wear this it is such a pick me up! :) I LOVE the smell of this soo fruity fresh/unique I don't think there's any other perfume like this <3.. I get more compliments on this than when I wear my designer perfumes not to mention the bottle is cute too! it doesnt last very long (3 hours max) but that's okay, good enough for me considering the price is great only $10!.. It really reminds me of Hearbal Essences Body burst body wash (orange bottle)

Upon first spray, the fragrance opens with a distinct, tart, black currant scent. However, this sour yet delicious opening quickly fades into the smell of cool, juicy oranges. At the end, the perfume transforms into warm vanilla. This fragrance doesn't last long at all, but for the price of only $10, I think it is definitely worth respraying all day long. It's sour, sweet, cool, and warm: all at once. Overall, I highly recommend Rue21's 'Pink Ice' if you want an exciting daytime fragrance for the spring and summer months.

This is a great perfume! I got a 75ml bottle of it Rue 21 for about $10.00 so it's a great price! It is def. a fruity floral, my fav.! I smell some coconut in there. It is very sweet which I love and boy does it last! I spray in the morning and still get wiffs of it around 3pm. It is very girlie and young? Well it makes me feel as if I'm 20 again and that's a good thing! Not something I would wear on a date, but great for daytime during the summer!
