AquaVelva Ice Sport

I got some of this and am now only really getting into it. It doesn't have a super amount of menthol but it's nice. I actually love this scent. Is it true this is an exact clone of Cool Water? I hope I can find more locally because I got some $1 off coupons

I prefer Skin Bracer by Mennen but that one is on my hit list!

**ZackP** · 07-20-2012, 05:10 AM

Luc, that's my number one (well, the Vijon clome). It has the perfect scent.

I really do like the AV Ice Sport. I prefer it over the AV Blue. Its quite refreshing, but doenst stay with me too long. GREAT scent though

**ZackP** · 07-20-2012, 06:03 AM

It's a skin scent after about two hours for me, but it's cheap so it'd work to put some more on if need be later in the day. I like AV Ice Blue more for aftershave when I'm in need of menthol, but this is just a nice one to splash on my face in general.

I prefer the menthol of the ice blue (personal taste I guess)

Zack, I also just picked up some of this Ice Sport and I'm totally digging it! It's light enough that you can splash it on in the afternoon for a quick refresher or put it on before bed if that's your thing. Lately I've been showering at night because I spend all day building my deck, so a little bit before bed is very refreshing and my lady doesn't mind it either ;)

I think I might try the Vijon brand of the Ice Blue, but for now the Ice Sport is great!

By the way, where did you get the $1 off coupons? I've only found one store near me that sells the stuff so I'd like to stock up a bit before they decide to stop.

Yes, it's a clone of Cool Water. No it's not an exact clone of Cool Water; far from it. The real Cool Water is vastly more complex, and a vastly more refined scent. The Aqua Velva Ice Sport is also incredibly short lived compared with actual Cool Water. The great thing, is that it won't clash at all if you choose to wear it with the real Cool Water cologne.

Cool Water is a great scent, and not that expensive. The very similar Aspen can typically be had for even less money.

I am not impressed with the ViJon clone of Ice Blue. It has very little menthol content (one of the biggest draws of Ice Blue), and the scent is not nearly as complex either. The ViJohn Skin Bracer, Brut, and Old Spice clones are all quite excellent, in comparison I think the Ice Blue clone fall flat on it's face. YMMV.

I really like AV Ice Sport but I can't find it anywhere here on the west coast. Shipping puts it around $10 unless I buy about 6 online. Is it in your drug stores?

**ricardo9505** · 07-20-2012, 05:24 PM

you'll find swarms of AV and AV Ice fans here. The classic AV I used and love it. waiting to finish off some bay rum and adidas aftershave.

**ZackP** · 07-20-2012, 05:25 PM

Nemo, they have it at a local grocery store but nowhere else.

**SuperChris** · 07-20-2012, 06:44 PM

used Ice Sport today, good stuff

**inspiringK** · 07-20-2012, 06:57 PM

I always have some of the blue classic around and especially like it this time of the year. On the suggestion of others, I have also ordered some of the original sport

Apparently it is for sale in stores near me and in New Brunswick (a province just north of us), but my quick glances down the aisles did not reveal it. So I ordered some online for $4 a bottle.

**ZackP** · 07-20-2012, 07:18 PM

I so badddllyy want to try that!

**edgerunner** · 07-20-2012, 07:55 PM

I like AV Ice Sport a lot but the green Original Sport is my favorite

**nrv216** · 07-20-2012, 08:22 PM

Hey I used Ice Sport today! I find it similar to Cool Water (which I just recently sampled for the first time) but with a little menthol and WAY less lasting power. I still love the AS and will always throw one in my grocery cart if my bottle is running low.

Just splashed on some AV ice sport after my shave with a Fatboy w/ Med Prep and Martin de Candre. Shave was good, though I had a bit of burn on my neck due to a third time use of the blade. The ice sport calmed it right down and I now have a comfy BSS. Plus, it goes perfect with a sprits of my Cool Waters for the rest of the evening!

I live in Georgia and they sell it in Publix. Only place around here that carries it.

I love the AV Ice Blue and after seeing the Ice Sport a month or so ago I've been kicking myself for not snagging it when I saw it. Then I found it at the grocery store the other day and grabbed it! It smells great, reminds me of when I first tried a blue Polo Sport knockoff. Both times I had no idea what I would be smelling, but both have a similar smell I love! I'm glad to have found this scent again, I may have to try some of this Cool Water stuff as well.

**Klos Shave** · 07-21-2012, 07:17 AM

I've never seen the green bottle of Original Sport. I'll have to check all the local grocers and see if they have it. Only one store locally carries the Ice Sport so I'm not too hopeful, but I'll always be checking the shelves!
