SOTD- Monday March 9th: French Avenue x Aromatix Frostbite
Been seeing a ton of hype around this, so I decided to pull the trigger. I absolutely love Platine Blanc, so my hopes were high. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, this one isn’t for me 😔 I really like the opening. You get a bright, sweet fruity citrus that has a cooling kind of aspect to it, so Frostbite is a fitting name! However, as it dries down, it smells so overly synthetic to my nose. After about an hour, I started getting a headache. As the fragrance continued to dry down, it kept going in the synthetic direction, so I can’t really enjoy it. Longevity is good with about 7-8 hours on skin. Projection is decent for about the first 2 hours. Kind of bummed about this one as I was really looking forward to it. Oh well! As my dad used to say, “They can’t all be first round draft picks!”
