What does Frostbite smell like?

It opens with mango, apple, bergamot, blueberry and cardamom, a bright, fruit-led start. The heart turns floral and slightly green with vetiver, jasmine, lavender and violet. The base of vanilla, cedarwood, sandalwood and amber sweetens it and settles into a warm, woody finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters give longevity a high score. Votes spread almost evenly across daily wear, work, sport and evenings out, so it isn't tied to one setting. Diesel Only The Brave Street and Gisada Ambassador for Men have a close profile.
