Ice*Men (2007)
by Thierry Mugler

My original review is below...it's been almost a year and I revisited this...now I LOVE this. My nose has changed for sure since then ( I have acquired at least 3 dozen bottles since then). Smells like Armani Attitude/B*Men in its initial blast, then it eases up on the gourmand nature quite nicely to a manly cologne. Yes, it still has the slight drugstore aftershave tinge (but very lightly) but the overall effect is nice. What changed? Maybe the weather. It works best in hot/very hot weather. Now recommended.

Joshaugustt and zoomazooma are on point with this. It smells too medicinal to be good. What a let down from T Mugler who is supposed to be awesome.
At best, it smells like one of the men's bath gels from Old Spice or some cheap aftershave like aquavelve.
Def not for me, not reccomended.

It is "Amen Flash" with a new name, but that is a good thing because it's a great fragrance and 100% original, just like all TM colognes. The opening is very fresh (think shaving cream), if not "icy", as the name implies and stays that way for along time, then dries into a lighter version of Amen. Staying power is very good. A few sprays last all day. High five to TM for not releasing the same old crap like other design houses do.

I’m not even going to waste my time writing a full review – it’s just cheap, synthetic, watered-down crap.

I love this fragrance. Honestly I find it masculine, sexy and almost edible without being to sweet or feminine. I agree with libertine that it is the A*Men summer flash rebranded, but I find this has more of a chocolate undertone wherease A*Men has more of a licorice undertone. The bottles are actually the same for both fragrances.

I don't really care IF this is a rebranded editon of something else. It works.Unlike madridbatabridd, I hate aquatics as a rule but like madrid, I think this is a great fragrance. As fro comparisons to Ben Gay, well this comes back to synthetic notes finding their way into low-cost products (blame the fragrance houses for that!). As always though, the comparison is shallow as there will be some note of similarity but on doing a head to head comparison, the illusion shatters. Funnily I have jsut read the revies on another 'fresh' fragrance which was compared to Ben Gay so maybe the manufacturer has hit on a great scent ;)

The opening is fresh, pleasant, not common but nor overwhelming. After few hours it dries down and turns into lighter version of A*Men (and lasts hours and hours), which I was really glad about. I will probably buy it if I see good price, because I guess that original A*Men is too heavy for my age and social status (student, 24y). 3 out of 4 stars.
