Seriously strong, seriously cheap, and seriously good. This beast of a fragrance is a surefire hit for compliments, just give it a month to properly macerate after you unbox it. It's a genuine steal for the price point, punching well above its weight.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and sweet, bold character make it a standout choice for date nights and casual outings, ensuring you get noticed. While it performs well, its strength can be a bit much for a conservative office setting, though a light hand could make it work. Less suitable for sport as the warm, spicy notes don't align with high activity.

About

Glacier Ultra opens with a fresh, spicy pop of lemon and pepper, quickly warmed by cinnamon. The heart introduces a smooth, clean lavender and herbaceous clary sage, expertly blended to avoid any harshness. As it settles, a rich, creamy vanilla and amber take centre stage, underpinned by a subtle cedarwood, creating a long-lasting, inviting warmth that's anything but dull.
