Ice Storm

Scentual Obsessions Ice Storm is marketed as a cologne and presents a palette built around mint, ice, mint tea, blue sage, patchouli and ambroxan. On paper this combination points to a cool, invigorating opening that transitions into a greener, slightly resinous heart before settling into a woody‑herbal drydown. The concentration level suggests a lighter wear suitable for daytime or warmer climates.

In contrast, the original Etat Libre d'Orange Cologne is centred on citrus and floral notes—lemon, bergamot, orange, neroli, orange blossom and jasmine—supported by white musk, amber and cedar. No notes overlap between the two, indicating that Ice Storm follows a markedly different aromatic direction, favouring minty‑green and earthy tones rather than the bright, citrus‑floral character of the original.

The verdictOn paper Ice Storm diverges completely from the original, offering a mint‑focused, herbaceous profile where the original leans citrus‑floral and amber‑woody; buyers should expect distinct olfactory experiences.
