Freeze in Flames opens on passionfruit, raspberry, and red apple, ripe and jammy and unmistakably sweet. Then Calabrian bergamot and a blast of spearmint cut it back down before it gets syrupy. That's the whole premise: heat and cold trading punches in the same three seconds.

The heart keeps the temperature drop going. Lavender, sage, and tea move in alongside more spearmint, and the fruit turns drier and more herbal, closer to a cold cup of tea left on ice than a dessert. It's built as an Extrait de Parfum, the most concentrated version Riiffs makes.

Cedarwood and musk take over for the close, warming things back up just enough to land somewhere between the fire and the freeze in the name. It's unisex, and at $49.99 for a 3.4 oz extrait, it's priced like it knows exactly who it's competing with.
