I always love an inexpensive vintage surprise ! I recently purchased this ( at Wal Mart!) and knew it was a low risk since it is inexpensive . To my surprise, Fire and Ice is a complete winner . What amazes me is how it has been copied in recent days . It is definitely a soft vanilla and amber fragrance that is quite versatile.
I think this fragrance is light enough to be worn around people who hate perfume (Scrooges) and in office settings . It is not a gang buster fragrance, but it does have a distinct , soft , feminine aura that lasts several hours . I REALLY AM IMPRESSED!

I love this! Fresh and intoxicating, it reminds me of autumn, but I’m wearing in this hot summer weather and getting compliments. I had no idea how wonderful this was when it first came out and am so glad to find it now. At first there’s a soft fruitiness and an impression of flowers, but nothing cloying at all. And then it morphs into amber and wood, very lightly sweet and fresh all the way through. And a respectable longevity and sillage for such an inexpensive treasure.
VASY3021 – :
This has an uncanny resemblance with VS Amber Romance but it is better in quality and well blended.
Great longevity and good sillage!
AndreyK – :
This is really beautiful. I loved it as a teenager and found love in it again recently.
It opens somewhat harshly, like an alcoholic floral blast, but it begins to unfold very quickly.
The opening to me is a strong floral, but with warmth. I do not like florals but this is warmed up enough and layered so well that I don’t find it cloying at all.
The middle is very interesting, almost “cold” (the ice?) and maybe it’s the fruit peeking through?
The longer it wears the better it gets, until it sits on your skin as a warm creamy amber. Very soft and cashmere like. I am wearing it today on a blazing hot day and it feels more icy than when I wear it on a colder day.
I think I really enjoy this because it has a retro feel and captures the 90’s very well for me. It is unlike what is on offer these days, so for that it is especially lovely.
bober23 – :
This is a solid cheapie. I love peachy/apricot scents and this is one of those, a powdery, musky ambered cool white floral. The osmanthus thankfully does not have that overly soapy/glue like tone in this scent. This smells like spring to me all yellow like daffodils. Sunny, bright, yet with a hint of cool (that when you open the fridge or freezer type cool)…I don’t get much incense, but maybe if I oversprayed I might get the smokiness. It is cute!
Vitasha29 – :
This is a very nice bargain, especially if you enjoy amber and orange blossom. This is earth, warmed by citrus. It has a detectable earthy amber/incense base. It’s lingers as long as 8 hours of daytime wear on me. I can still smell hints in my hair. It is a little sharper than VS Amber Romance to my nose. I would never call this cheap smelling. If you are a fan of the notes I’ve mentioned, this is a must have. Woods and musk are not detectable to my nose.
serebro961 – :
Some of these reviews made me laugh.
It’s a cheapie, simple, non complex, non offensive perfume. I bought it for $10 just to see what it was like. Maybe it has potential as a layering scent as some have pointed out.
It honestly would make a great first scent for a young teen. That’s about it.
Bioboss – :
Powdery incense and peachy narcissus. Many of my favourite perfumes contain narcissus, and many smell like peach cobbler. It’s bizarre.
Fire & Ice is a fresh orange zest with strong base ambers. Osmanthus is listed in the notes and while this confuses me, I can accept it because osmanthus is different in so many different perfumes.
It starts off very alcoholic but dries down so warmly and lovingly. Like a hug. A warm, loving hug.
andreew81 – :
not a review yet but a question>>
I like the notes listed but an a man.I know a few women here do wear mens fragrance and is this fragrance at all decent for a guy? Let me know thanx.
Pereheels – :
Quick review because I just tried the super pricey Acqua di Parma Mandorlo di Sicilia; this is a pretty good dupe of that. The AdP is higher quality obviously but they are very similar. If you look at the structure you can see why; it’s a strong ambery/spicy base with some citrus and white flowers. Both are lovely.
elasiagaway – :
Just bought a vintage Fire & Ice.
Lovely amber and orange scent.
My experience with longevity is the same as takeasniff’s below, low silage and extremely fleeting – less than half an hour.
Will probably use it as a body mist with something lasting layered over it.
Indeteemy – :
Love! I admit, I don’t like smelling this from the bottle and the initial spray is no better. It’s very plastic and nauseating. However, two minutes after spraying and it’s heavenly!!! I’m not kidding, as soon as it settles, it’s rich, bubble gummy amber and sweet, bright tangerine. A comforting fall/winter scent that can still be worn in the heat. I also don’t get any incense, and the amber is deep but not very resinous. It smells very modern for being a famous scent of the 90s.
As for Amber Romance, they’re very similar, but to me, Fire & Ice is so much better. A sweet friend wears Amber Romance and there’s something about it that turns my stomach…sort of like the opening of F&I that never goes away.
Projection is moderate-to-soft and longevity is about 6-8 hours. I am beyond happy with my purchase and can’t wait to wear it in the winter.
Update: I can’t stop wearing this.
qzw190bedyWelty – :
I used to use this when I first finished school back when it first launched. The ad with cyndi crawford was so glamorous to my young mind. It was stronger with lasting power. I purchased it the other day and find it vanishes after 1 hour I have to constantly spray it very frustrating it feels a waste of money to me.
Thailandets – :
There are certain perfumes that you will remember, not so much for the actual scent itself but that it was present during that stage of your life. This is one of them. On my way to class, I checked in at my local pharmacy to ‘test’ a few of their scents as I felt bare without some sort of spritz of something. I left with a bottle of this, hopping on the bus feeling all sorts of emotions. All guilt aside as I’d spent my ‘study’ allowance, I walked out of the pharmacy feeling sensual, dangerous, naughty and ‘ready to do damage’.
chiledjo – :
I just got this juice off of Ebay for only 10 bucks and could not be happier. What a lovely smell. It smells like ICI. It has a gourmand sweet smell but not cloying on me.It smells like vanilla crème with such a warm amber smell but Its so fresh and light. A lovely fragrance for Summer or Winter, day or night. The bottle is a shape of a fire flame, so cool. I love this perfume its awesome! Its a very sexy scent. Romantic. I imagine snuggling next to a fire place wearing it. ♥
havoc1992 – :
In the 1960’s, Fire & Ice was not the name of a Revlon fragrance but the red nail color from Revlon. It was also a lipstick color. As such when this fragrance was launched around 1994, I assumed this would be an extension of the nail color & make up and that it would smell like a beauty salon scent, powdery, iris-based, a rouge and make up and lipstick sort of pin-up girl perfume. But no. This is an amber based fragrance with floral Oriental tendencies. This is lovely but not for everyone. It is quite loud and bold, more like a 1980’s fragrance than a 90’s. It opens with fruit that was more the style of 90’s frags. The fruit consists of citrus in the form of orange blossom and a tangerine. There is also a distinct pure orange scent. The orange color matches up with the color of the liquid. Fresh and citrusy and zesty. It has a very pleasant opening.
The florals emerge and are mainly white florals: tuberose, magnolia and narcissus but they are also composed of orchid and osmanthus. The sweet florals are really at the heart of this perfume. It’s not heavily floral but floral enough and if you like these flowers then you’ll be satisfied. I find it to be a very elegant floral smell with tuberose and magnolia front and center. It’s a powdery floral. The powder is not like body powder as it’s layered with spices. Notes of unlisted spices are included. A touch of incense comes through and in the vintage original it was like smelling incense sticks. There’s balsamic notes as well. Spicy. Smoky. Powdery. This is all those things. The powder comes through anyways even when it boils down to musk, woods and amber. The dry down is primarily amber. This is a beautiful amber; one of the most long lasting and exciting ambers I’d ever come across.
No this is not a make-up and powder scent. It has a relaxed soothing smell. It’s more laidback California middle class than it is East Coast upper-class. This is at the other end of something like Hermes Caleche. It smells brilliant and beautiful, but it’s not particularly impressive nor worth raving about. I do like it because it has a pleasant aroma and it suits me. I’m an older woman and this is the kind of perfume that I go for. The bottle is very lovely in glass that is shaped like a flame.
Fire & Ice sells on Amazon.com but it seems like it might be a reformulation. It doesn’t stand out as being too different from the vintage orignal. Oh and it is very appropriate for autumn and winter. Despite the fruity opening, the florals, musk and woods are the autumnal tones of the perfume and suit the colder months. Wrap yourself up in a musk and a blanket of amber goodness.
Absolutely gorgeous.
lera2010rus – :
At first I didn’t like it and I still kinda don’t because the smell made me sick & it smells like toothpaste or reminds me of freshly brushed teeth reeking orange toothpaste to me (perhaps the morning shift nurses at hospitals all seemed to wear this or something similar or made it their signature scent) and that causes me to attach this scent with early morning toothpaste/freshly brushed teeth as my dental/doctors appointments as a child tended to be early …nevertheless, I gave it a good chance and layered and the magic began when I began layering. That’s when the magic really came out in layering. It’s a powerful scent. At first it smelled like orange toothpaste residue to me but then I started to appreciate the smokey nature but I am not a fan of the actual scent. I just think it has amazing layering capabilities/possibilities/potential. This perfume paired with M by Mariah Carey on me is just erotic is all am gonna say… am far from narcissistic – try it ;)! I can’t imagine what it would do for a guy. Actually I oscillate between loving and hating this perfume.
kAmpot – :
Fire and Ice quickly made its way into my top favorite perfumes. This is number 2 just after Britney Spears fantasy. Fire and ice is warm, sexy, confident, and powerful all mixed together in a beautiful classic simple bottle. This scent is best described as a rich warm Amber. And yes it does smell like Amber Romance from Victoria secret but better! I find Amber Romance has a plastic undertone to it. Fire and ice does not. This scent is smooth from beginning to end. I find that it is not offensive to anyone’s senses and boy oh boy does it get a lot of compliments! It projects extremely well and last at least 8 hours. And best of all the price!!! A 1.7 oz bottle of this amazing juice will only run you about $10.00!
Nupalm – :
I asked the clerk that checked us out what she was wearing. It was FANTASTIC. It was Fire and Ice. It was a deeper scent….like Ciara, Jontue, Chloe etc. Ones that were for young girls when I was young. They seem to be for a more mature crowd now days. I guess if you wear perfumes from your younger years, they become mature lady scents. Why is it that my candy-like cupcake scents are NOW for children and people think I’m too old for them? Or why is #5 for EVERY one? hmmm….
Oh well…I have Chloe but still would like Jontue, Ici, and now…Fire and Ice. I also wonder why many perfumes now can’t last LIKE these older scents. Some do…but why not ALL of them?
All in all…I’m finding these scents intrigue me once again! I am sure I’ll be purchasing these from time to time now. Exclamation certainly hasn’t let me down, it’s modern AND lasts! I think I’ll wear it today!
Not quite sure I will wear the others as much since my everyday picks are less “mature” and more “childish”? I don’t care what you call ’em, or what people say behind my back….I like these! 🙂
vitalik76 – :
This is a smell you have definitely smelled before. If you went to high school in the 90s, somebody you know or dated wore this. One of my close friends in high school wore this often, and when I saw it in Walgreens, I had to have it again. It smells just like I remember! It’s ambery, sweet, soothing. Fall. It smells like being outside in the fall, all oranges and reds and smoke. I love wearing it to bed, it’s very calming and helps me sleep. That’s most likely the amber, as amber is supposed to help the wearer sleep and be calm. So this is a good one to wear lightly if you have a nerve wracking presentation at work or something equally stressful. It’s not candy sweet, rather it has a resinous sweetness to it which takes it away from baby/tween town to more of a mature fragrance that works well on me even though I am now in my late 30s. I imagine the tangerine lends the amber this unique sweetness. Stays on clothes forever, lasts all day. A great cheap thrill that I’ll always have on hand. I really think that if this were bottled by a prestige house people would go nuts for it, given the huge surge in amber lately. It gets overlooked bc of it’s cheap looking bottle and low price but for me it proudly sits right next to the Chanel and Bal of Versailles. I reach for it often!
www.org.ru – :
The opening and middle is sweet & fruity
I feel there is a nuttiness under all that sweet, amber cream in the drydown. And I’m also surprised there isn’t any vanilla in here.
As I let it evolve, I get this deja vu feeling, like I smelled it before. But I know I haven’t. BAM! It comes to me… it’s a close relative for VS Amber Romance.
This scent smells expensive as well! Like a famous house created it under the guise of an inexpensive fume.
It’s worth having in your collection if you love oriental perfumes!
lenamixno – :
This is another nifty little drugstore fragrance that is fun and inexpensive. FIRE & ICE is a warm, somewhat sweet, ambery floral with smoky fruity undertones that are listed as tangerine, but which have always smelled like cherry to me. After an hour or so, some powdery notes come through to the surface. For me, FIRE & ICE is a good all-purpose kind of scent that can go anywhere. Initial sillage is very strong, but it does soften considerably after dry-down (about an hour). Longevity is good.
The bottle I have might be 15 years old (the sticker on the bottom has long since fallen off, so I don’t have a batch code). I’m not familiar with the current version, but per the reviews, it sounds like it hasn’t been changed much.
alex555ak – :
I think it has some serious potential but it just doesn’t last or project. The opening is so loud that it had my hopes up. VS Amber Romance is much better. I’m so sad about this one.
Rusiaka – :
When I first sprayed this on my arm, I thought ” hmm this is interesting, let’s see how it develops” and waited a few minutes to sniff again.
And then it hit me.
I was snatched back thru time to my mother’s kitchen. Standing in front of her with an ear infection and a spoon of pepto bismal-looking antibiotic, looming dangerously close to my mouth. The smell of cherry bubblegum making my face grimace. Then the momentary Tourette’s like spasm as I choked it down and blurted out “BLECHHHH”.
Straight up liquid Amoxicillin.

I am so glad I looked at Fragrantica for information about Victoria’s Secret Amber Romance perfume. Seeing how the eau de toilette itself seems not to be produced anymore, I was so glad to see how Revlon’s Fire & Ice was recommended as very similar (which striked me as stange as I seem to remember it as a totally different scent). I found Fire & Ice yesterday at Shoppers Drug Mart, and, “boy oh boy”, does it ever smell like the Amber Romance perfume. The only difference I would say is that it is slightly lighter, has a very faint flowery/citrusy scent that does not overpower the sweetness of the fragrance. It is definitely a sweet, warm, sensuous scent. And I just love the fact that it has amber (I have “been in love” with that note for a while now and even sought perfumes where amber is a strong note—-I definitely “hit the jackpot” with this one).
michel – :
White florals layered over smoky Amber…This reminds me of a night club in an exotic locale. The tuberose overpowers the orange blossom and that kind of bums me but at least I like the tuberose here,I usually hate it. I wish the silage was a little stronger but otherwise this one is lovely.
lizametrika – :
I’m loving the fact that Revlon makes perfumes. I never knew that until I discovered them on Fragrantica years ago. I’m a big 90’s girl, I loved everything from 90s fashion to perfume to music and more. But somehow I missed this awesome creation!
Fire&ice is becoming one of my new favorites… I especially love the cheap price tag 🙂
The best way I can start describing this perfume, is that it smells eexactly like VS Amber Romance! To a T! I see perfume comparisons all the time in reviews, and I find those ccomparisons aren’t always accurate. But everyone is right about the Amber Romance similarity with this one. Side by side, I can hardly tell them apart. But somehow, I like fire&ice better. It’s definitely longer lasting, better projecting, and there’s a definite nice hot&cold feeling whilst wearing this. It also has a prominent incense and straight Amber smell in the Dry down, where Amber Romance is more vanilla. man, it smells so good!!! I know this is cheap in price, but it does NOT smell cheap what so ever. It’s very interesting. Like an icy cherry vanilla. There’s actually more to it than that.. I’m smelling a bunch of things in fire&ice, but I’m not sure what. I just know it’s very nice and balmy…. Comforting, sexy, sweet, unusual, habit forming lol. A winter scent for sure, but I can also imagine this working good on a hot summer night in the tropics.
While this does strike me as a 90s vibed scent, it’s still up to date . Women everywhere are still buying Amber Romance directly off VS shelves, so this type of scent seems to carry a modern appeal. A lot of 90s perfumes are very obviously 90s. You feel a little too loud and dated in them at times.. I.e: chopard Casmir, Organza, Rochas Tocade and alchemie, etc. I never get this feeling from fire&ice. Once I get a new bottle, I can see myself putting this on my top 10 shelf. I’ll probably wear it everyday for awhile. I especially love how rich it smells dried on clothes. Very creamy and sweet. You’ll end up sitting there inhaling the corners of your sweater.
If you love Amber Romance, you can’t go wrong. And if you’re looking for a good/cheap new blind buy, I recommend ordering fire&ice. I see mainly all rave reviews on it. It’s the type of perfume that most people will love and crave. Spray all you want. At 10$ a bottle, go ahead and douse yourself in it. Everyone around you will love it.

Oh my fire and ice most 90s teenage girl’s first real perfume upgraded from body sprays. Use to wear this regliously. Brought it a few years back but found it to be different to what i remember

but in a good way
not happy about the drydown
warm and creamy
in all a good fragrance

Classic, my first favourite perfume that i first sprayed in the 90’s as a tester sitting next to a promotional poster with Cindy Crawford on it.
Still love it today!
Soft, warm, wintery, inviting. The scent is of floral not overwhelming, just right, with a dash of citrus notes.
vestatania – :
Exceptional I really love it, Vanilla and Orchid, just a lovely wild combination, is so wonderful, it lost for days on my clothes. revlon is the best when you whant longlosting pefume, and the best when you think about price.
i love this elegant perfume and presentation as well.

Pipergirl– love your review of this scent. Perfectly described. Does anyone know if it is still in production? Only place I can find it now is on Amazon or Ebay. Great sharp autumn scent. Great name to match.
Crazy92 – :
I get a cozy, warm and creamy orange-vanilla scent. Fire & Ice is a football weather fragrance; hayrides and bonfires. Brilliantly colored leaves, pumpkins and candy corn. A comfy, casual and affordable fragrance for the fall – I’m glad that I finally tried this!
(Walmart – under $15)
Y.Zosdek – :
I used to love Fire&Ice, i wore it for the first time when i was 13 and wore it til 15. I still remember the scent. I remember sweet dark thick ambery goodness, fresh orange and insence. It was so unique. Well now as an adult i decided to revisit Fire&Ice and thought it would be lovely in the fall and lovely to use as a base for layering. Well, i got it in the mail today and it’s still pretty but it has to be reformulated. It’s thinner than it used to be, like they watered it down. It doesn’t have the heft, richness, or density it use to. So I’m a little disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a lovely perfume, i just wish they never messed with it. Im going to let it sit in my cabinet and age it for a while and see if it gets richer. Most amber perfumes get better with age. Im not sure how the longevity is yet because i just sprayed some on. Sillage isn’t as great as it once was. It’s closer to the skin but should still be good as a base for layering.

Hellooo 90’s!
This is what the girls’ changing room smelled like after the gym in high school. My God, we were so vain and self consious, and douzed ourselves in whatever perfume we wore back then, after the shower. We must have oozed… Poor boys!
For me this is a mashup of Exclamation, Laura Biagiotti’s “Venezia” (the original) and Laguna. And it is not a bad thing. In fact quite the oposite. The scents in fashion back then were a lot deeper and warmer than today. Even the perfumes used by teenagers. And so is Fire & Ice. This is pure nostalgia for me. Very warm, aromatic, deep and playful all at once. Not a complicated scent, but still inviting and very likable. Glad to own one finally. About time…

i was in university during fire n ice is released
during that time i have no idea about amber in

enough to be worn anytime even in scorching
hot day..i did get alot of compliments from wearing
this…too bad its no where to be found in my country
i realy hope to get my present ‘down the memory

A golden gorgeous amber perfume if I ever smelled one!
Fire & Ice is an evening cologne not for the faint of heart. This starts off with orange blossom and a citrus that’s fresh and perfumy. The tangerine is really nice but it never does stick around. The way this perfume progress is mind blowing.
I smelled orange blossom which I guess is a common note in many perfumes but the tangerine gives it a kick. It’s not too sweet but it is sharp. The floral notes include orchid, tuberose, magnolia and narcissus. I’d have to say that it’s a white floral but it’s not like a bridal bouquet. These flowers are spicy. It’s a spicy floral scent. The spice comes from that deep amber. There’s also incense and musk, which give this scent a wamth and heated brilliance like an actual flame that has been made into a fragrance.
It’s not too pretty or girly girl. It’s mature and womanly, not terribly romantic but it is captivating. It doesn’t remind me of any other fragrance. I like when that happens!
This is a perfume I wore in the 90’s mostly to events like dinners with black tie formal dress code, to vacations, and to anniversaries. It’s got a formal vibe. It’s not glamorous, it’s conservative and no-nonsense but beautiful. Beautiful.
everittaer – :
O My Goodness!!!!!!!! Absolutely beautiful! Why have I not tried this until today?! This is soft and a bit sweet but not too sweet. Creamy, and a bit of Amber with vanilla. All the softer applealing things I associate with comfort. So lovely!
RICHA – :
I’ve really come to understand the popularity of scents like “Luctor Et Emergo” with younger Gen Xrs and older Millenials, when I think of the fragrance trend transition period of the early 90’s.
With a shift towards more “Zen” like scents, keeping in tune with the coffee house youth culture of the early 90’s that idealized environmentalism, emerging multiculturalism and intellectual banter, you can see the same emerging qualities in early 90’s scents (which might be some of the earliest fragrance memories of Millenials and first teen or college aged scents of Gen Xrs.)
What I find time and again, is the pipe-tobacco like, natural vanillas, the sheer musks, in some cases, herbal aquatics and experimentation with newly created petrochemicals.
“Fire & Ice” is a mix between a gimmick and a really pleasant, comfy fragrance, as an ozone musk opens the scent with a feeling more than a distinctive smell, of wide open spaces of defrosting ice. It can almost be described as a frozen unripe berry, citrus note without any noticeable sweetness.
Then, within seconds, the cinnamon sweetness of the incense woods and pulpy, fibery sheer sweetness of orchid and magnolia stand out and emerge together. The vanilla then takes center stage and remains all through drydown. This vanilla is a cherry-vanilla, a pipe tobacco/cherry sweets tobacco and vanilla blend that melds with the melting ice notes of the top that never seem to go away.
The impression it gives is one of a really satisfying, deep sweetness like the sweetness of an unburned incense stick that would have been total, hippy headshop is not for the freshness the musk imparts. An indistinct, very soft cinnamon hum runs through the entire blend.
What I love most about “fire & Ice” is how well it communicates the conflicts of early 90’s youth, of wanting to “Save The World” with a statement of earthy rebellion without being totally isolated from the glossy, mainstream one their parents and grandparents had built. “Fire & Ice” is the best of both Worlds, like a fragrant peace offering bridge between the idealistic, hippie tree dwellers and pragmatic, down to Earth business people.
types-maks – :
The perfect amber scent! With tangerine and incense backing it up. I love it in winter. Amber isn’t for everyone though so I wouldn’t wear it in a crowd in warm weather since it has decent longevity and silage.
Nelik – :
I had to write again. Neosmiaphyte’s review was so right where she said this is great for turning a dud perfume into something wearable! I’ve been trying for a month to find a way to enjoy my big bottle of blind-bought Baiser du Dragon, but time after time with that one just get straight up sweet patchouli, which I hate. So after trying again I remembered the tip of spraying Fire and Ice over a perfume not working for us and unbelievably it worked! I can actually stand the Cartier now by spraying this inexpensive little beauty over it!!! Toned down the patch and even let me get my first glimpse of the supposedly strong but invisible to my nose almond notes. I’m stunned. Have two bottles of this and now will order another….It’s not just a beautiful perfume, it’s a miracle worker! Everyone should have a bottle of Fire & ice.
nif40 – :
This amazes me. Strong, yet soft, and lasts about four hours on me, which is about an hour longer than my high-end Guerlains! And so very beautiful. I don’t think oh, if only it were more sophisticated (meaning expensive)….I’m just thrilled I can afford multiple bottles because I never want to run out of this beauty. I get no whiff of alcohol in the opening, it starts out creamy, sweet, golden, round–and stays that way throughout. Not one angular or sharp note, just comfort and happiness. I reach for this so often. It makes me wonder why I have so many other perfumes. If I were forced to pick one this would be that one. Amazing.
bob420 – :
I will leave a more detailed review later, but right now I am in shock at the notes listed. I wore this daily for 5 years, and I always swore it was a non-gourmand vanilla. That WAS quite awhile ago, so I will try it out again and see what I pick out.
This is still in my cabinet. It is my favorite layering scent. Whenever I blind buy a bad bottle or am testing a dud, I spray this on over the offending scent. Fire and Ice blends it nicely into something wearable for me. This was my first fragrance love, and we will never part. We just don’t get much alone time these days.

Warm, enveloping, medium lasting power, goes into a flat version of the top notes in the dry down, which is fine, creamy and vanillary. Good price, can’t complain 🙂

Fragrance Review For Fire & Ice By Revlon
Top Notes Orange Blossom Tangerine Osmanthus
Middle Notes Orchid Magnolia Tuberose Narcissus
Base Notes Incense Amber Musk Woods
I love how the bottle is shaped like a flame. I had hoped this would be big on incense but it’s not. It’s a sophisticated and well composed well behaved white floral fragrance. On me the notes that are most detectable: orange blossom, osmanthus, magnolia, tuberose amber and woods. The opening is of a citrusy smell courtesy of the combination of orange blossom and tangerine. It’s a fresh and very sweet citrus scent. The magnolia begins to bloom early on and it also becomes a tuberose. If you’re familiar with tuberose and enjoy white flowers this is a pleasurable white floral. The flowery aroma dissipates after a while and it turns into a light incense not heavy, and it’s really more like a benzoin. It’s benzoin and smaller scale resins. The amber is the dominant note in the base and the dry down. So if I had to match up the notes/ingredients with Fire and Ice the ice is the tuberose (white ice white flower) and the amber is the fire. The amber note here is truly gorgeous and holds everything together. This is warm, elegant and lady like, something to wear at home or to scent a scarf with, a fireplace scent, cozy, comforting, inviting. It’s like a dinner date – at home. I don’t cook and I don’t stay home so for me this fragrance is just a comforting scent of tuberose and amber 2 notes I like.
Scroll95 – :
I don’t know if the reformulation is just all wrong, as I barely remember the original formula, but I am here with a warning: If you are looking for amber, you won’t find it in Fire & Ice. What you will find is “amber”, as in Amber Romance from Victoria’s Secret. That is precisely what Fire & Ice smells like. The end.

Fire And Ice is a campfire scent, a women’s empowerment camp. It smells unmistakably feminine because it is very floral but as it’s name suggests it has fire. The fire is in the form of incense, not too smoky in the style of Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, just a warm little campfire when the fire is almost gone. It feels mature and very sophisticated. It’s a cheap and affordable perfume but it ought to cost a thousand plus dollars because it’s very rich, exotic and aromatic as far as florals go. This smells of orange blossom and tangerine at first very much like something I remember smelling in Ibiza Island. It smells like orange blossom, orchid and tuberose. It has a white flower scent (the ice) and the orchid can feel a tad too sweet but that’s why I love it. The middle part of the fragrance is flowery. If you like these flowers: orange blossom, orchid,
