Insensé Ultramarine Ice Cube by Givenchy, 2003

Insense Ultramarine Ice Cube is an interesting flanker. It still has the fruity opening of the original, but includes a fresh alcoholic minty note that does sort of have the character of ice. This doesn't seem to stray too far from the middle & base notes of its predecessor. There is no mistaking a floral (albeit muted, when compared to the original) component to Ice Cubes heart. In drydown the base notes are not quite as earthy as Insense Ultramarine & I dont get that slightly musty sort of smell which reminds me of rain. Still, this is a really nice & fresh & masculine summer fragrance. Unlike some of its other brother flankers (which are nice in their own right), Ice Cube still retains the essence of the original Insense Ultramarine; with a nice minty twist. Longevity and sillage are both average.

I just picked this up at the airport in Honolulu. Very nice! I didn't know exactly what to expect, but I like it! It could last a little longer, but it's nothing to complain about.
