A few weeks earlier I saw an other version of this. Maybe a flanker?
It is called: ICE
It has the same silver box, but instead of VG V it has ICE on the front.
The bottle is a bit darker grey as the VG V.
It smells really different, just can not put the point on it.
Not floral but some kind of minty…
I Like the VG V better

I’m wearing this today, got this edt just after it was discontinued (2011). Also the deodorant, deostick, showergel, shavingcream and aftershave balm.
It is the youthfull version of van Gils Classic / Strictly for men.
Strong stuff, with a floral feel. With 5 sprays (1 on chest, 2 in neck and 1 on each wrist) it is still noticable after almost 15 hours.
I see this lately @ discounters, maybe it was re-released. Some other van Gilse’s too, in different bottles and sizes than before.
Got it back then, in only 50 ml bottle size….
Was easy to get for me, it is manufactured in my hometown. I have all their releases…this is my favorite.
Edit 2017-11-05: My 22 year old nephew uses this now…he really likes it!
Edit 2017-12-02: I saw it is back in the retail perfume shop of ICIParisXL

This stuff is great. A strong, bright, fresh, clean floral scent that starts off with a sparkly, crisp citrus edge at first.
The slightly sharp citrus fades over the first few hours and it retains its clean, clear florals throughout and does not change a huge amount. Moderately sweet. Late on it develops a subtle, powdery, vanilla undertone which sweetens it more and this mixes with the floral quality until the whole thing slowly fades.
At points it reminded me of Sung Homme but Van Gils V smells less synthetic, more natural, more modern, more floral and may be too feminine for some men who can’t handle anything that is not overtly masculine.
Relatively subtle woodiness and a hint of spice make it masculine but there is a big floral feel and a woman could easily wear it without drawing strange looks.
Having said that, I love the older masculine scents and don’t like things that are too sweet or feminine/unisex and I still love this.
Powerful and potent with good projection for 8 or more hours (after which it drops within an inch or two) and it is quite strong on the skin for in excess of 12 hours.
In three words – fresh, bright, floral.
Really good stuff.
Just a pity I can’t find more of it really.
