About ice
The fragrance note 'ice' captures the essence of coldness and purity. It is a synthetic note designed to evoke the sensation of being surrounded by ice, snow, or frosty air, making it a unique and modern addition to perfumery. This note brings a sharp, clean freshness to a fragrance, often used to add a sparkling top note that simulates the brisk clarity of a winter landscape. Despite its name suggesting a singular scent, 'ice' is a complex note that can incorporate various nuances, including hints of frozen aquatic elements, cold metal, or crisp ozone.
Synthetic Alternatives
The 'ice' note in perfumery is entirely synthetic, as it aims to replicate the sensation of coldness rather than a specific natural scent. It is created using various aroma chemicals that convey a sense of freshness, sharpness, and clarity, often incorporating ozonic, metallic, or aquatic accords to achieve the desired effect.
Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly as a top note to introduce a burst of freshness and to impart a clean, invigorating opening to the fragrance. It works best in fresh, aquatic, and sporty compositions, adding an element of briskness and energy.
