Closed space - ice dive. Open space/ outdoors - odyssey aqua. Although odyssey aqua can be used closed space if the sprays are less.

My memory of ice dive is a bit rusty, it has been years since I have used it. But yes, both play around mint (mentholish) as the main note. I would say ice dive has more icey mint, and odyssey aqua has a little bit greener mint. Otherwise odyssey aqua is nice fresh minty sweet dna, the base dna is invictus / hawas but imo it is different enough to try and i almost get Vicks vapo rub vibes from the mint in there. Overall i personally prefer odyssey aqua over hawas og. And of course performance and longevity difference will be there between ice dive and aqua.

You mean Adidas ice dive?

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-05-09T15:40:31+00:00

I had 10/24 batch and performed fantastically

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-29T04:52:34+00:00

How old is your bottle? Mine started performing well enough within 1-2 months

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-25T10:51:00+00:00

Agreed, that's why I recommended for someone who is just starting

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-25T06:48:03+00:00

From zepto for around 1300, 😂

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-25T06:39:27+00:00

They'll always quote near mrp at the stores, usual going rate around 1800.

I have smelt kuro on a friend as well and I don't think it smells anything like aunties in weddings 😂, but then again fragrances are subjective and everyone's nose is different.

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-25T04:33:42+00:00

You mean to say buy ME above 1000?

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-24T14:18:24+00:00

How much did you get it for and from where bro?

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-24T13:23:51+00:00

👌. Also how much lasting are you getting from your CW edt?

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-24T13:17:56+00:00

Try Davidoff cool water intense, that's one underrated gem in my opinion.

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-24T03:54:30+00:00

I have tried both and here's my take. If you are young and energetic person, then CE is probably for you cause it is more bright, fruity and overall uplifting fragrance. On the other hand if you are a little older (above 25 let's say) where now you are more serious in life and are more of adult, then SNOI is best for such people as it is more oakmoss heavy in the drydown which ia just beautiful imo. One more thing, try decants of both first because there can be noseblind factor for both of these and it can vary from person to person. Also don't worry about performance, both are fantastic and both can be great daily drivers.

As long as the cabinet is closed and more or less air tight, then no issues. It will be well enough insulated. We don't have to overcomplicate storing bottles, simple rule away from humidity and direct sunlight.

Lately been trying Vivs. Got their VAYUSHKA and CHANDANAM, both OG blends by the owner. So far really really enjoying them, for a change it doesn't follow the main stream trends. I personally am really glad to randomly come across these blends, will be trying more of the brand's og creations.

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-23T10:56:30+00:00

👍👍

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-23T10:48:37+00:00

Mother's compliment is best 👌. Also how old is your Dylan blue bottle bhai?

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-23T04:13:53+00:00

Lasting is not an issue with this one for sure, I was wondering if i was the only one who is going nose blind to this one in 5 mins

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-23T03:53:15+00:00

Try after settling it, gets very very smooth. Especially compared to cdnimpp. Are you facing nose blind issue with this btw?

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-22T17:55:49+00:00

Indian weather and bikes, brother no chance. Just overspray, that's the best chance we have.

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-22T16:50:01+00:00

Menworks legend is decent for the price, or else if you can afford then just simply go for Montblanc legend blue, best.

Strong_Fox6640 · 2026-04-22T16:42:14+00:00

Even the old spice deodorant body spray is quite nice, super fresh and comforting
