“They should have called this Ice on Roses instead because it's largely a cool cucumber fragrance, the rose is definitely there but it's subtle. Only tested in stores so keep in mind I haven't experienced the full dry down, but to me this is a refreshing ozonic summer frag. There's also something recognizable in this that I can't put my finger on, I think the musk is similar to another frag I know well. I would totally love to smell like this in summer, but the longevity ratings seem more on the 'moderate' side which is unfortunate given the price point. Looking forward to trying this again.”
“This is a summer date fragrance. Finding a summer date fragrance is challenging, which is why I love its alluring and sophisticated nature. It smells like rose, cucumber, and has aquatic notes with a slightly sharp character. Simply put, it’s a high-quality gin and tonic with added rose and cucumber.However, considering its price point, is it worth purchasing a bottle? That’s a tough question.”
“Smells like cucumber and rose mixed in a water. Like that fresh infused water that you drink early in the morning while you're opening the window to your rose garden. Good smell. Unisex for sure. I can imagine wearing it in the hot summer day vacation and really hits the vibe. Very good, although it's way too overpriced for me.”

Sillage
The clone has a brighter lemon note instead of grapefruit in the top, and a noticeably lighter, less woody base that shortens longevity by 2-3 hours. Fragrance World's version also projects less sillage and leans more feminine-sweet compared to the original's icy, balanced composition.

Sillage
The clone lacks the sharp bergamot brightness and peppery bite of the designer version, resulting in a softer, more rounded fragrance. Longevity and sillage are noticeably less pronounced on the clone, typically lasting 4-5 hours versus Roses On Ice's 6-8 hour performance.

The clone's base leans slightly warmer and muskier compared to the original's crisper, more vetiver-forward finish. Longevity and sillage are marginally less pronounced in the Dua version, though still respectable for a clone.
