Adidas
Ice Dive
“Mint and grapefruit straight out of the gym bag — the icy splash that has been riding along to practice for decades.”
Philippe Bousseton's 2001 fresh-spicy masculine for Adidas, built on mint, grapefruit and yuzu with a touch of lavender, over a light musky base. The cooling, sporty profile fits the brand's athletic positioning, and it sits close to Mercedes-Benz Man Intense and Azzaro Chrome in the citrus-aromatic category. Typically worn in summer and spring, almost exclusively in the daytime.
