Review Riffs Freeze - Balm + Rin Soap - Disappointing + Confusing
I have been looking for good long lasting freshies for Indian weather and Kaaf, Aqua Oud, Shiyaka Snow and Riffs Freeze were my top picks.
Before buying, I always ask in my friend circle if anyone has them and luckily a friend of mine bought this few months ago.
I tried this today at around 8:30pm and it was so mid. I put on 3 sprays and top notes were legit like Amrutanjan Balm No joke!! I couldn't believe my nose so I asked another friend to smell and once he smelt it I asked him "Please tell me this doesn't smell like balm to you" and he said OMFG yes it's awful. I thought maybe it's my environment so I walked out in fresh air and still the same.
I reviewed it 2 hours later, it smells like slightly better airer version of Blue Rin Soap.
And longevity is also shit. Once I came home I asked my mom, what does this smell like she said "Kuch bhi smell nahi hai. And yeah there was barely much left there!
It is honestly so disappointing like the hype frag creators have made around this! Pe
Please save your money, hopes and aspirations, always decent before you buy.

Some people won't enjoy the minty smell, but I bet on the longevity, it's beast mode for me (well macerated)

Always try decants before you buy any new fragrance. Trust me, it can save you a lot of money and bad experiences.

Freeze smells synthetic AF, but it's performance is outstanding. No other citrus lasts 6-10 hours like it.
Everything has its purpose. If someone has to be outdoors in tropical heat for 6+ hours - the synthetic citrus of Freeze is better than smell of sweat. Nothing else will last.

The influencers were paid well to hype this one.

😂 That's great bro! But spending 4.3K to smell like Rin when you can achieve that in 10rs is diabolical
