Frostmelt

I scooped this up during the semi-annual sale and I am so glad that I did! I tested this in store last October and found myself so excited to see such a unique scent (I haven't come across any mint-chocolate perfumes prior to Frostmelt, anyway). Now owning this, I am incredibly glad to have something so fun and festive in my collection! Frostmelt is a very "face-value" fragrance which I enjoy: the simplicity of its note makeup allows each note to have its own "moment" as the perfume wears, and it's not a headache-inducing amalgamation of smells that will render you sick. Upon first spray, I was instantly greeted by the perfect pairing of mint and chocolate, akin to unwrapping an after-dinner mint. What I love about Frostmelt is that the mint note is not astringent or sharp: it is balanced perfectly by the smooth sweetness of the chocolate note and it dissipates rather quickly. After the minty opening fades away, this fragrance smells like a mug of hot cocoa on a cold winter night; the heart of this fragrance is distinct, yet delicate. When I reached the base, the tonka note ended this fragrance experience on a perfectly-cozy note--not cloying, not too subtle, just right. This perfume is not a loud projector and has a weak lasting power, but I firmly believe that it is one of the best skin scents I own. As I always grow wary of purchasing VS and BBW mists because of their notorious headache-inducing abilities, I am happy to have found that Frostmelt is a unique winter winner in my book! I highly recommend testing/buying this if you like collecting out-of-the-box scents!

If you go on Facebook and scroll down on Victoria’s Secret’s page of photos, you’ll find the first promotional photo for this collection. I noticed frostmelt had different notes on the front of the bottle “whipped pistachio and chocolate” it seems like they went a smarter marketing route and put mint on the front instead of pistachio. But to me personally, pistachio & chocolate are indeed the heavier notes. Mint is not overbearing at all and it is definitely fresh mint as listed, not pepperminty like twisted peppermint. It smells like you dropped mint candies into a nutty, warm hot chocolate. 🍫 🍃 ☕️ 10/10 the lotion smells more chocolatey than the mist. 🤎 edit: this doesn’t last very long at all, or better yet. A hint of the smell you get at initial spray lasts a bit, but it’s almost unnoticeable. I thought strawberry snowflakes was my worst performing scent, then warm vanilla sugar beat that scent, now frostmelt is in between those two as far as performance wise. I’m a bit disappointed because I have 3 bottles of frostmelt.

These smell just like Thin Mint GSC to me. I love this, it's not overbearing and this would work year round. The mint aspect does fade off very quickly from it's initial intensity. The chocolate is like a black cocoa, dulled down and a bit alkaline, just like the thin mints or any other black cocoa recipe - so if you want a strong and sugary milk chocolate vibe you're going to need to layer this with something. The vanilla is the strongest note for me, actually. Not much projection, almost a skin scent but if you layer the mist with the lotion it will be stronger. I somehow didn't see this scent until I was looking at clearance sale so I'm disappointed this was a very short lived scent and will be picking up another before it's gone entirely. I've been looking all over for a mint chocolate lotion (and body wash which I am still looking). But this is nice as a post-shower spray too or for bedtime. I think this would be nice layered with a pistachio scent as well, or a cookie scent.

I love this. Surprisingly, I still smell it 6 hours onwards. I usually layer this with my vanillas to complement the tonka bean note and add more sweetness, and the best one yet is Bonfire Bash. I smell like yummy mint chocolate marshmallows wearing it. Sillage is just right, not too scandalous. This is best worn on cold nights, but the sweetness really comes out when this is worn during hot days, too. The chocolate note can also be strengthened by layering with other chocolate perfumes. This is so yummy with chocolate cake fragrances. I love the winteresque packaging as well. Overall, it's a really cosy winter hot chocolate fragrance. True to Notes : 9.5/10 Packaging : 9/10 Sillage : 8/10 Longevity : 10/10 Fragrance : 10/10

this is such a cozy winter scent! i tried out bath and body's twisted peppermint but that was way too heavy on the mint for me--this opens with a perfect, soft mint with chocolate that's sweet and not overpowering. it's exactly what you would expect from the notes, like thin mint cookies. on the drydown, the tonka comes out more and smells like spiced vanilla almond milk. honestly, even though it's a mint chocolate scent, i feel like you could still get away with wearing this year-round since the drydown is primarily just sweet, gourmand tonka. i just wish this was stronger! this mist is particularly light in my opinion, although i do find that it gets a sort of "second wind" once the tonka starts to shine.

This is one of their best scents yet, sad i didnt get to try until their sas sale. It smells good on the heat but i just know this will be amazing for the cold weather. Smells exactly like mint chocolate, especially the andes mints. The mist smells better than the lotion, the mist has more of that andes mint scent, the lotion has more of a “fresh” slightly nutty chocolate scent. Still good though. It is more of an intimate scent, i get like 3-4 hours from the mist before it goes away completely, but it’s a body mist so im not expecting much tbh.

when i wear this, i feel like im a walking cup of hot mint chocolate. this mist is so beautiful. easily my signature fragrance as the cold weather stays. I also get this marshmallow note that smells absolutely delicious. VS hit a home run with this fragrance. Don’t go into this thinking you’re gonna get a beast mist because this is definitely an intimate mist. But it’s unique, great for cold weather and it cheap cause it’s on sale. you can definitely layer this with other fragrances with similar notes and have fun.

I adore this scent; it smells like the epitome of a white Christmas. It has a cool minty scent without being reminiscent of toothpaste, it smells like the type of mint that's spackled on the top of a dark chocolate. The chocolatey scent isn't super sweet, it's very delicate and yummy. The tonka scent smells very good and matches the scent quite well. It lasts pretty long considering its more of a body mist.

This honestly lasts surprisingly well for a mist. I was still able to smell this on my skin after 5-6 hours and even smelled this on my jacket the next day. This opens up with a blast of mint, but it dies down quickly (about half an hour), then transforms into a powdery chocolate like those hot cocoa packets you get from the grocery store. I love this. It's a very fun scent and smells delicious.

winter winter and winter. giving Christmas vibes when you drink hot chocolate or drink tea. smells like hot chelate and mint. this is the smell that I return to every year, it is giving me nostalgic from my young age. the packaging is amazing, it was a very good idea to add snow on the packaging

This is absolutely divine. I can’t believe I’m saying this about a VS mist. The mint fades quite quickly and then it pretty much just smells like a sweet dessert. My boyfriend says it smells like delicious biscuits. Wish it lasted longer!

Yummy! Smells perfect on the initial spray, like mint chocolate chip ice cream. The mint fades away on the dry down, though, and I’m left with a faint cocoa scent. Enjoyable, could be stronger. 7/10 for a body spray.

This is amazing!! It smells exactly like a minty chocolate! So yummy omg. Sadly it doesn't last long, especially compared to their other body sprays, but it still smells so delicious

Bought this because of the pistachio note (listed on their website). I LOVE it! Perfectly balanced in my opinion, this is going to be a seasonal staple for me.

it smells literally like those mint chocolate candies like york. it also has a little nutty smell to it! i might purchase this, i tried it in-store! 🫶🏾

Minty, super sweet and chocolatey ! I absolutely adore it, super addictive <3 If you're a fan of choco mint ice creams, you may love that body mist ♡

This smells like mint chocolate ice cream yummy yummy. And this is literally only $6 on sale for 8.5 oz how is it bad for the price lmao

Smells like After Eight chocolate but less minty. Loooove it. I recommend layering with Nebras or Billie Elish. Thank me later.

really nice but disappears literally in 30 minutes

I'm smelling pistachio/pistachio cream here😍
