    Again, like other Agonist fragrances, from the reviews Arctic Jade is experienced very differently by everyone. I attribute that to their treatment and high percentage of natural ingredients, although I’m sure there are many factors that contribute.
    On my skin, a quixotic jasmine is the dominant note. Restyled within Agonist’s goal of depicting Swedish culture, surrounded by whorling notes of pastel kaleidoscopic flecks. I smell many of the same ingredients used in The Infidels, like Agonist’s distinctive patchouli, a beguiling sylph with a powdery aura. All create a patina to evoke Scandinavian air.
    The Brazilian orange note is strangely subdued – it does has a creamsicle aroma! There’s a light milky sandalwood and ghostly cedar. Comorian ylang-ylang, ambrette,and bourbon vanilla. The accord gives the jasmine a candy-like glaze without being overtly sweet. Akin to insulation keeping the flower preserved in their arctic air.
    Not a tropical floral, but one that is transplanted to foreign climes – its smell interpreted by Agonist’s Nordic aesthetic. It’s chimerical. Youthful. It would be what I imagine an Ice Princess, like Elsa from Frozen, would have as her signature. As often happens with naturals, I’m not sure it is still available. But I’m happy I got to wear it while it was.

    With the word arctic I was expecting an icy cool thing – something that smelled like snow. This starts off like that, it has an ozonic whoosh but mellows into a sweet sherbert. It also smells very green and sharp at the start. It becomes a tart, sweet and powdery scent with a whiff of medicinal otherness about it. I like it, but it is very soft. Intriguing, but not enough to go hunting for a bottle.

    And this is why I don’t do niche anymore. Hard to find, hard to test, poor quality control, over-hyped and overpriced. This was a total bust on me! I have a full, pristine bottle in its original box and only sprayed it twice. Don’t see myself ever wearing it again. It annoys me to remember I dropped a bunch of cash on something that is borderline unwearable. I wanted to treat myself to something different and purchased it in person from a reputable seller at my local mall. After testing it – and hating it – I took it back, but he said he could not exchange it for another scent because this is “too rare and hard to find”. Right. I offered it to family members and nobody wanted to take the darn thing from me – for free. The reviewers below did a very good job at describing this scent – children’s toothpaste, a ton of powder and a tad of orange in the top. Dries down smelling like musty paper and powdery vanilla. Sounds interesting, but it is completely blah and uninspiring.

    To me, this starts off like an orange creamsicle. Quite fun. Then it goes through a cedar, sandalwood, and what I believe is musk phase before taking on an airy, orange cider type vibe. The last third of the drydown is basically a lightly sugared, fluffy patchouli.
    It’s fruity and sweet without being heavy or syrupy. I’ll be getting a few more wears out of this.
    11/01/15: There’s a definite “toothpaste” vibe going on here, particularly in the early stages. It’s still pleasantly wearable, though.

    I am very fascinated by this Sweden brand because I adore Scandinavian countries. I got VM, so a few days ago I planned to test AJ at my beloved niche perfumery store. The first sensation I got was a freshness which in a few seconds turned into a sort of a disappointing medicinal smell… ‘What a shame’ I thought to myself ‘The name of the frag really intrigued me’… but one or two hours later it turned into a wondeful, warm womanly scent. I enjoyed the contrast between the breezing ‘artic’ opening and the comforting drydown. This stuff is on my wish list.

    Arctic Jade , an iceberg floating in the Scandinavian sea covered with berries and cream.Iceberg is melting and you get a touch of frostiness while the dry down consists of berry wafers and kids toothpaste. Pretty awkward description but that’s I how I perceive it , sweet , refreshing glaciers slightly warm and thick when it dries down . Fruity and comforting scent which would be better for a teenager or a very young woman ,it has a certain type of playfulness that’s it’s just not my type . Good quality ingredients , realistic smell and good duration , but for the price ,it doesn’t deserve it.

    I had a sample from the discovery set that I bought from another collector, and I tried all the agonist scents out, and this is what I got out of Arctic Jade.
    Again a more feminine kind of unisex fragrance. A really nice flowery green scent. I clearly get the ylang ylang leaves along with the jasmin and clean orange notes. Also vanilla i present in the mix.
    It has a certain unpleasant “in your face” feel that I think of with the keyword “ICE”. Of course ARCTIC :-). In Denmark where I live we have a soap brand that has a scent similar to this perfumes notes.
    Really not a perfume for me.
    Overall Rating: 5/10

    I agree with the toothpaste comment. Something about this smells positively medicinal. For the most part I enjoy this composition once it dries down, other than the ylang ylang. That note seems so out of place. This stuff otherwise smells like a sweet candy that I just want to eat. DARN YOU YLANG YLANG!
    Also, I went back to smell it an hour later, to see if it improved on the drydown, and could not smell a thing, is this real life?

    I’m firmly in the middle here to be honest. Opens really well for me I love sweet scents and this one instantly reminds me of some sort of fruity sweet thing, can’t for the life of me think what it is. maybe like fruit bon bon sweets or something?
    That natural orangey, ylang and yes raspberry opening is then suddenly met with (and I don’t mean to be crude here) a kind of pissy note. As it settles the vanilla is right there throughout which this creamy complex array of sweet notes.
    I really like it! It’s kind of contrary to my common sense which kinda makes me think this is a bit of a stupid fragrance or a mess of notes!
    Marshmallow!!! That’s it smells like marshmallows for a split second then swirls through some other notes…what an odd beast.
    Another wear is on the cards and it could go either way to me honest this and judging my the votes this fragrance is the epitome of polarizing!

    Let me preface my comment by stating that this is very distinct and dare I say contrarian. I have a rule: if I can’t compare a fragrance to another then it must have some value. I believe in my mantra wholeheartedly but the “value” aspect of Agnostic’s contentious creation is more than challenging. With the array of beautiful notes, I thought this would be a house party. This fragrance turned out to become a haunted house instead. This is a pungent little creature. I probably grimaced 17 times during this sampling. Someone said toothpaste, I’m thinking more like sour green chlorine. I think the problem with AJ is that it has one too many controversial notes. (Patchouli, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Orange blossom, Cedar). It’s almost like if you love the Jasmine, then you’ll hate the ylang; if you love the ylang then you’ll hate the patchouli….and so on. In closing, is Arctic Jade a scrubber? Hell Yeah, it’s a scrubber! But we can learn from these scrubacious moments(I just made up that word haha). Don’t wash it off, endure the pain, the torture, the agony and annoyance. It brings out raw emotion. When emotion is involved it makes for better reviews. Stay smelly my friends.

    The combination of raspberry, vanilla and ylang gives this perfume an unpleasant tangy sharpness, a bit like bath foam and Johnson’s Baby shampoo. I couldn’t smell past this. Annoying, unwearable and over-priced.

    Enjoyed this on those chilly but bright days. The vanilla didn’t linger too long as the ylang-ylang and sandalwood lingered throughout the day. I had to reapply to enjoy it through the evening @2pm but I expected as much. Didn’t find the sillage too impressive. I find it to be more of a SkinScent but pleasant enough.

    I like it!
    Sweet, but not super sweet. Smells slightly medicinal. I feel like I have eaten gummy fish with this taste. Sillage is a little low and 2-3 hours later, I can only barely feel it.

    Feeling clean, light, too much light, good for an evening with children. Not for me.

    I believe this to be more a male scent. Citrus and ceder is all i get. It’s different but not in a good way. The dry down smells the same but more powdery with a chemical smell. This fragrance seems like it’s missing somthing.

    This was lovely, powdery, sweet, sandalwood with a touch of Jasmine. Very soft and warm but it didn’t seem to last very long. I love the beauty of Agonist but I find they disappear too quickly for my liking. It’s a shame as the perfume is definitely a head turner.

    Clean but with overdose of vanilla bourbon so it is not light – probably at its best when it is very cold

    I don’t get a grip an Agonist. They all remind me of something. And they really smell like sweets and artificial though they are not. At least they changed those hiddious flakons!

    smells like my sons tooth paste. 6-12 years. sweet and ambitiously caries fighting. only for those who never could restrain from eating this pink stuff in their childhood. the taste of remorse:-)) not for me!
