Blueberry, mango, apple and bergamot lead Frostbite, with a touch of cardamom, before lavender, geranium, violet, jasmine, pink pepper and vetiver form an aromatic heart. The base settles into ambergris, amber, vanilla, sandalwood, cedar, patchouli and oakmoss, which keeps this woody aromatic scent warm and a little sweet.
The opening is all ripe fruit. Blueberry is the strongest note, with mango and apple behind it and bergamot adding a sharper lift, so it reads juicy and a little jammy rather than sour. As the fruit settles, lavender takes the lead in the heart and brings a cool herb-garden edge, while geranium and violet add a soft, slightly powdery floral feel. The drydown is the warm part: ambergris and amber give a slightly sweet base, vanilla softens it, and sandalwood and cedar keep the sweetness from turning into dessert.
Frostbite is frequently compared to Ambassador Men by Gisada - it shares the fruity, woody aromatic character, with fruit up front and a warm, ambered base. The structure is similar rather than the same fragrance, so if that style appeals to you, this is worth trying. If you'd rather stay with something FG carries, Hawas For Him is in stock, and so is Hawas Ice.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
