Adidas Ice Dive by Adidas

Very fresh fragrance, powerful opening with grapefruit and mint. Within a few minutes it dries down and becomes slightly sweeter (I don’t know if due to ambergris, vanilla, tonka bean or a combination), without reaching being sweet or heavy. It’s totally ‘sport’, very easy to like (but not generic), versatile and I use it in any season without it being out of place (except for night outings due to its short longevity). In terms of performance, designed for sport, I have no complaints: on skin it lasts a few hours and on clothes longer. I also use it daily and it behaves well. Its low price stands out: I usually get it online for less than £5 for the 100ml bottle, which lasts quite a while. In summary, I recommend buying it (even blind) to lovers of these aromas; hard to regret. Don’t let yourself be fooled by the price. Best regards.

Smells super fresh at first with a blast of grapefruit and mint, but it quickly softens, becoming slightly sweet without being cloying or heavy. It’s the typical ‘sport’ scent that suits everyone, though it’s not generic. I use it all year round and it fits anywhere, perhaps except going out at night as it fades quickly. In terms of longevity, considering it’s for exercise, I have no complaints: it lasts a few hours on the skin and longer on clothes. I’ve also worn it daily and it’s perfect. The best thing is the price; I find it online for under €5 for 100ml and it lasts quite a while. In short, I recommend buying it blind if you like these scents; it’s hard to regret and don’t let the low cost fool you. Best wishes.

Ice Dive is super fresh, full of energy and vitality; ideal for the day and, of course, for sport, even contact sports (like the rest of the Adidas range). I detect top notes of lavender, kiwi, mint and anise; in the heart notes comes geranium and at the base, pepper with amber, which combined give a particular eau de toilette result, so it’s not a typical generic perfume. An advantage is that it pairs with the Adidas Ice Dive deodorant, which you can buy alongside other things in the supermarket without needing to visit a specialist shop. Note that the lavender is not just a more intense note, but also defines the colour of the bottle.

This Adidas was my first fragrance; I don’t see it suitable for every age or occasion. It’s ideal for after a shower, to maintain that freshness for about two hours, either staying at home or heading to the gym. It’s sporty but lasts far too briefly. Being fresh, it’s slightly sweet; I’d recommend it for under 20s. Beyond that age, it can smell like an adult who hasn’t accepted their age yet. If you’re on a tight budget, it’s a good purchase as it performs well even when over-applied. I have fond memories of it, best wishes.

I’ve used it a lot and yes, it’s a fragrance for staying fresh or using while doing sports or after the gym. Its longevity and trail are very poor, but for the price it seems reasonable, especially considering the Adidas segment. Obviously, it’s not intended for a social outing or formal event; I would never buy it again, but honestly, I don’t consider it bad, it just has a very specific use.

Beware of this fragrance, as its opening is dangerously similar to Bleu de Chanel EDT. Many consider the Chanel version the cornerstone of blue fragrances (I’m not included in that group). The fact is that Adidas Ice Dive hit the market in 2001, while Bleu EDT arrived in 2010. Could Jacques Polge have been inspired by this Adidas scent when creating what might be his most popular work?

Very good fragrance, although the longevity is short; it can be reapplied and lasts a bit longer that way. It leaves you feeling satisfied, and the best part is the price; you can have several for daily use. I used to love the Adidas Team, Action, and Game Spirit scents, pity they were discontinued, although I keep the last one as a memento and part of my collection.

Exclusive for sport or going to the gym, aquatic and energising with touches of mint and grapefruit. It doesn’t last long on the skin, but for the aforementioned purposes its longevity and projection are fine. Its price is between £8 and £15, a good option to get out of a pinch and keep in the car. I give it a 7/10.

To be honest, it’s the gym perfume where you don’t look for eternal longevity, but rather a clean scent that you can take everywhere. The price is so low that you feel encouraged to apply it several times without a second thought.

Good cologne for the price: fresh, masculine and versatile. It doesn’t last long but smells good. Ideal for getting out of the shower, doing sport, taking a walk, errands, the beach or the pool.

I have the new version with the side-grip bottle. Ice Dive doesn’t last long and has poor projection, but I love the scent so much. 4/10.

It brings back memories of my teenage years, hahaha. Good for the moment, but nothing lasting.

Excellent perfume.
