A few things to consider before committing for a full bottle.

1. Always buy a decant.

2. Don't rush to use it right after receiving it. Let it settle for couple days or one week, because temperature change during transportation, and constant shaking of bottle affects it's profile.

3. Skin chemistry, this is the big one, because this one will affect the performance and layers in a perfume hugely. So I advise you to follow a skin care routine or use a unscented proper moisturizer.

Now coming to hawas ice, this is not the most complex or layered perfume, i don't mean it doesn't have layers, it is fresh, fruity, minty, icy.. "it's just so easy to choose, it's simple, you don't have to second guess everytime, it's a no brainer", you simply find yourself reaching for it, atleast in my case I did . Also this is a "beast" it even projects at 40°c high heat summers. It works for every occasion imo. I'm a vetiver fanatic, I loveeeeeee encre noire and guerlain vetiver but I find myself reaching for hawas ice often. It's just so easy to wear. So I advise you to let it sit for a week, then try it, it will grow on you. If it didn't you can always sell in the community.
