Scent Description
Aqua Velva Ice Blue is a blast of citrusy, sweet, freshness which screams "clean". The Ice in the Blue is menthol which adds actual coolness to the fresh scent. It shares many of the notes of a classic fougere such as Bergamot, Lavendar, and Oakmoss, and like a fougere is complex and herby, but with a slightly sweeter profile supported by powdery undertones. Although synonymous with "Drugstore Aftershaves", Aqua Velva Ice Blue is an affordable fragrance with a time-honored tradition which remains beloved by wet shavers across America. A great choice for everyday wear, whether home or the office.
