What does Y Iced Cologne smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than in layers. Mint, peppermint and the ice accord give it a cold, crisp feel, while blue sage adds a slight green edge. Ambroxan and Indonesian patchouli stay in the background and fill out the texture. A sweet, synthetic tone also shows in the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily wear and leisure leading, and sport and business following. It reads masculine and modern. Versace Eros (Eau de Toilette) and Calvin Klein CK One Summer Daze have a close profile.
