Latest Reviews of 24 Ice Gold

Ice Gold avoids the orange zest dominance of other icy fragrances, specifically, and feels more like a lemon/bergamot-dominant citrus opening, with plenty of woods, as well as unsurprisingly listed notes of ambroxan and white musk, as it has that rather clean dry down. And there is just a touch of apple in the mix to keep things a bit more interesting that a formulaic freshie. Still, this is an easy formula to like and enjoy, and it's an easy fragrance to wear, but it just fails to dazzle beyond being good. Still, what's not to like? This just feels like an easy winner on a hot day, especially,
Ice Gold is EDT concentration and performs decently, and is sold via FragranceX at $55 for 100ml, not a bad price, though other versions like Gold and Rise of the Superb are much better values on account of their being more creative and higher-performing.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one overall. I like its fruity aspect--I think they did a great job of creating an icy, frozen fruit accord, but the base catches me by surprise and throws me off every time I wear it. I don't know, maybe I'm the only one getting "buttered popcorn" from this, but it will take a few more wears for me to decide if it's something I really enjoy in the end or just a weird twist that feels out-of-place in the greater context of the scent. Until then, I can certainly say that Ice Gold is unique enough, and that its performance is excellent, with both solid projection and longevity. I'll probably update this review with a final verdict after the summer. As of now, I'd say that it's definitely worth sampling.
EDIT: Though I just posted this review recently, it's an old one. Since then there are a couple things I've discovered about Ice Gold that are important to note. 1) Not everyone gets the weird "butter popcorn" smell that I get. I've spoken to people who don't pick up on anything like it at all, so you may not either. 2) This is a better version of the trendy aquatic Pacific Rock Moss that sells for about $185. It smells very similar, but has stronger presence and lasts longer. So if you like Rock Moss and are thinking of getting it, check this out first.

Very nice citrus/fruit opening that lasts about an hour. After that, the very soft, boring drydown is a powdery rose that doesn't hint towards 24 Gold, but at least it does last for 8+ hours, so there's something good.
