18% call it identical or very close
  • Reddit consensus views Riiffs Freeze as sharing a similar icy, minty vibe rather than being a 1-to-1 clone of YSL Y Iced Cologne.
  • Some reviewers argue Freeze goes in its own citrus-driven direction or lacks the core Y DNA, while others still consider it an alternative.
  • At least one user notes that Y Iced Cologne is not as long-lasting or intensely icy compared to Freeze.

Where people agree

  • “The new YSL Y Iced Cologne is supposed to have that vibe. I only tested it briefly in store and it's definitely got a nice strong minty opening. It does fade after a while into the more typical Y DNA, though. Mint/menthol is a tough note to”

  • “Y iced is not as long lasting imo and also isn’t as icy Y iced is like 90% Y with 10% ice effect This however is a 80% iced effect with a clear twist of the Y dna in its own direction being smoother and more citrus driven”

Where people disagree

  • “Riffs Freeze (Y Iced Cologne clone)”

    reddit post ↗
  • “They are not even close, not meant to be a clone, completely different. I think people saw ice in both and thought, it must be a clone. The Y iced, is literally Y edp with a hint of “cool” in the opening, but then becomes Y edp 10 mins late”

  • “Freeze is it's own thing on drydown, only shares the icy & minty vibe with iced cologne”
