Oriflame Glacier is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Philippe Bousseton. Glacier opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Watermelon, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Lavender, Juniper, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Suede, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Oriflame's Glacier carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive budget freshie that delivers a strong initial blast of cooling freshness, but its longevity and sillage are widely criticised. Some find it a decent, affordable dupe for Cool Water, while others dismiss it as cheap and synthetic.

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:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual wear, office settings (due to poor performance), and active pursuits. However, the limited longevity and sillage mean it's not ideal for dates or formal events where stronger presence is desired.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Glacier is a brisk, aromatic blast of cool mint and sharp lemon, sweetened by juicy pineapple and watermelon. The heart introduces a classic masculine blend of lavender and rosemary, with a hint of juniper adding an icy edge. The dry-down veers into a subtle, woody base of vetiver and sandalwood, softened by musk and a whisper of tobacco, though its presence is often fleeting.
