The scent is ice cold with fresh ozone and weaker green fruit with a bit yuzu (as a kind of citrus scent). My opinion is that ICE DIVE isn't citric just icy, fresh with a bit citrus and a soft, sweeter, elegance scent after the first impression. Presented in sleek and fancy bodies, the Paco Rabanne aftershave range looks and smells like a dream. They’re created using rare materials to evoke a sense of timeless freedom and tranquillity. Boasting flamboyant masculinity, the fragrances are ideal for men who thrive for change and success. Aftershave gift sets I did, and damn well near smashed all my front teeth out and broke my nose off of the pond at my local park last winter. Adidas Ice Dive was one of the first colognes I ever used. In the prior early 2000 formulations under COTY, I actually used all the Adidas body washes, body sprays and colognes and Ice Dive was by far my favorite of the lot. It had a distinctive sea salt note that was very pleasant and set it apart from other products at the time. Then the entire line seemed to disappear. I remember that Ice Dive used to smell exactly like Bleu de Chanel to me, but now it just smells very aquatic in a synthetic way and even somewhat metallic. I don't like it anymore.
After having owned a miniature size of Versace's Pour Homme Dylan Blue for a couple months, I'll say that the fresh spicy citrus nuances in both are truly in the same vein. They both contain pepper, grapefruit, bergamot, patchouli, and musk. And though they have distinctive notes apart from one another, I believe they don't go too far off from one another in the end.

I'd wear this in the summer to go out shopping. Nice citrus and colling mint/camphor vibe but without going cold-medicine on you. If used with Shower gel after a workout - it leaves a very nice, calming effect. One could use this before going to sleep, due to the fact that it is soothing. That is just me. Personally I like the scent on other people and I think this is purely a body chem thing. Beyond that This guy is surprising. I have and have had many of the adidas EDT's and this seems to be on the more unique end. So many are safe, clean, after workout scents that are sport + vanilla. This isn't that. Even though that seems like what it would be from the notes posted above. This is adidas showing some attidue that is out of their character. I'm glad to see them make a stab outside of the safety zone.
It starts off with a spicy (Anise) bombardment of sweet (Mandarin Orange, Yuzu) and sour/bitter citrus (Grapefruit, Bergamot). The Grapefruit and Kiwi give it a sweet and tangy opener. Mint hangs on through the scent's evolution, keeping it clean. Lavender wraps everything up with that classic soapy smell. Immediately afterwards you get a potent green and/or earthy (Patchouli) and floral (Geranium) vibe. Then even more immediately afterwards you get a flagrant body spray (musk) and salt (the ambergris) with pepper. So, a balance of sweet, sour, salty, spicy notes with freshness. The main accords my nose gets is: fresh spicy, aromatic, and citrus. The scent itself gets a 7/10. It is a cheap and nice smelling Frag. Yet I am not sure why, but this is extremely watered down. I have to agree that it lasts for about 1 hour and then vanishes instantly. People are very critical of this under 10 dollar bottle😂 I don't know what people were expecting it to be but it sounds like you had really high hopes for this ultimate cheapie.Cue the current 2020's era and the entire Adidas line reappears. I wasted no time buying both the body wash and EDT. There's definitely been a formulation change, as the opening is now much better than I remember, with a complex mix of fresh, citrus, aquatic and powder aromas. However, it is also very much missing that distinctive sea salt note. Without it, there really is nothing that sets this apart from other fresh blue style fragrances on the market. FYI, I also notice that sea salt note missing from the body wash as well despite it being listed in the ingredients.
Great Deal
