About this deal

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. Scent - Its actually pretty nice. It's fresh and a little minty. It doesn't smell too synthetic and could potentially fool someone into thinking it's more expensive than it is, if the longevity and scent weren't so terrible that is.

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. Adidas Ice Dive by Adidas is a Aromatic Spicy fragrance for men. Adidas Ice Dive was launched in 2001. The nose behind this fragrance is Philippe Bousseton. Top notes are Mint, Grapefruit, Lavender, Bergamot, Yuzu, Kiwi, Mandarin Orange and Anise; middle notes are Geranium, Sandalwood and Patchouli; base notes are Pepper, Ambergris, Musk, Vanilla and Tonka Bean.

PS. If you are looking for some sporty fragrances I would recommend Whisky Sport, or some of NIke (De ruy perfumes) colognes, they offer sporty and longer lasting fragrances. A very forgettable fragrance, I don't even know how or why I own it... there are so many better alternatives; it only lasts for about 2 hours and it has weak silage, none the less after a workout, if you don't have a shower nearby, it can come in handy. Get it for that 15yr old kid as a present they won't complain, they might even like it. 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.The introduction for that fragrance is a bit confusing but after a while when it dries I smell lemon and ginger, The long long list of notes on Fragrantica is preposterous. Perhaps each in microscopic quantity. Nearly 20 years after creation, this is watered down to something extremely fleeting. Mind you, I enjoy the fragrance and if I douse myself with a dozen sprays, it's a pleasant after-shower experience. In fact, I have the shower gel and the aftershave! One hour of fraîcheur.

I really like Ice Dive. Both it and Dynamic Pulse suit me really well, and I like scents with that late 90's early 2000's vibe. I do get a little BdC for about an hour, but then it reminds me more of some of the Axe scents from the same era. 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. 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. 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. The Adidas Victory league and Ice Dive were my very first fragrances when I was 9 years old. I remember both of them being really nice as a 9 year old kid does 😂

Only the opening resembles that of BDC since the drydown of BDC has a dominant vetiver & incense which are missing in this. It's cheap, fresh, citric, soft, excellent for everyday use. Smells like a clean body, and it's suitable for layering with other citric scents. Ice Dive starts out with quite a bit of the mint and kiwi, with a little grapefruit. It has a sharp & fresh fruity smell, not overly fruity though. After about 20 minutes you get more grapefruit with a little lavender and a hint of the vanilla, which starts to sweeten the whole fragrance very slightly whilst staying fresh. Ice Dive does not really change all that much, it stays quite linear. Longevity is OK, you should get 4-6 hours. Sillage or projection is quite good for the first 2 hours, it will push of the skin but then it starts to sit quite close to the skin. Overall I do like Ice Dive, but only as a very casual scent. I would recommend trying this fragrance, 6.5/10.
