The original version is one of my all time favorite smell. Obviously I coined my pen name from it. I have tried “Ice” editions when this was repackaged several times. I was waiting for Carolina Herrera to release a new perfume but this was the newest. There has been less new impressive scents that came up this year and like many others I am one of those who are waiting for more bold versions. I was not suppose to pick this because I am sure that there is nothing new besides what can be a bigger waste than to spend your money in an old thing with a new cover? But the packaging was striking for me that’s why I tried it.
The “Ice” editions were always enclosed in
a thick plastic cover which is designed to look like the perfume being frozen. This time it was bigger with the bottle of the perfume in black and the world ICE is bolder, more perceived than its earlier editions. Carolina Herrera did not use this color before. The first Ice edition was in color blue, then it was green, blue green and sunny colors. In my opinion, this is the most striking and the combination of the transparent ice casing reflected the majesty of black. The only thing stumbling is that it is too close to Kenneth Cole’s scent of the bearing the name of the same color.
Unlike its predecessor, this scent starts with spicy hints from pepper and then licorice. It was floral but a little spicy ...
