This one's a divisive one, some find it a fresh, summery delight, others a fleeting, synthetic mess. But if you score a bargain, the packaging alone might make it a worthy shelf display - just don't expect a masterpiece.

About

212 Ice opens with a sharp, zesty burst of bergamot and grapefruit, quickly followed by a medley of tart red fruits and a delicate rose. It’s a watery, transparent blend that leans fresh and clean. The dry-down settles into a soft, slightly warm musk with a hint of creamy sandalwood, losing some of its initial icy crispness. Think bright and airy, with a gentle, fruity floral heart.
