Inspired by: Gissada Ambassador Men Day 10 of my Aromatix reviews, and in top stop is Frostbite. From the first spray the opening is juicy and energetic with blueberry, mango and apple, giving a sweet, slightly tangy fruit burst that feels bright and almost fizzy, while bergamot and cardamom add a crisp citrus sparkle and a subtle spicy edge that keeps it from feeling overly sugary. It’s a very lively opening - fresh, fruity and attention-grabbing without being childish. As it settles, the fragrance becomes smoother and more aromatic with lavender and pink pepper adding a clean, slightly spicy freshness, while vetiver brings a dry, earthy backbone that keeps everything balanced. The fruitiness softens here, blending into a more refined, almost “blue fragrance” style profile but with that unique fruity twist still present. In the dry down, the scent turns warmer and more structured as amber, vanilla and sandalwood take over, creating a smooth, slightly creamy base, while patchouli and oakmoss add depth and a subtle earthiness that gives the fragrance a more mature finish. Performance is strong for this style, generally around 8–10 hours on me with solid projection early on, leaving a fruity-woody trail that’s noticeable and easy to like. Overall rating: 9.3/10 Overall, this feels like a fruity, more playful take on a fresh “blue” fragrance DNA, blending juicy fruits with clean aromatics and warm woods, making it versatile enough for everyday wear, especially in spring and summer when you want something fresh but still a bit different. so 1st place for me as much more versatile and all year rounded than Platine Blanc. Overall my current Aromatix top 10 which could change at any time, can see Naughty Dates moving up the list. It’s a nice collection with scents which between them all could accommodate most occasions. 1. Frostbite 2. Platine Blanc 3. Forbidden Fruit 4. Magnetiq 5. Naughty Dates 6. Sunkissed 7. Teas Me 8. Royal Taboo 9. Carnal Desire 10. X Xandal

What is your favourite money scent? That 1 scent that you would choose to go close a big deal with or go to an important interview with?

I have bought many fragrances from different parts of the world and it seems there are similarities when I buy them from the same country or region. For example, the colognes I have purchased from England seem to be more old school, light. From the Middle East - alot of oud and louder. Thoughts? For a challenge, can anyone name me a cologne from Britain that is very masculine?
