Opening was very fresh and almost soapy. Like a clean citrusy, almost aquatic shower gel. Initially, this pleasant sharp opening started blending with the mid and the base and created a very fresh designer adjacent smell. As the opening faded away, the mid is where you really start to smell A&F fierce. It was like a blast from the past, a huge nostalgia bomb. During this phase, I didn’t really feel think it was for me. It was nice to have a sort of high-quality niche interpretation of this nostalgic DNA, but I couldn’t see myself really wearing it. My opinion starts to change as it dries down further though interestingly, unless I’m getting nose blind to whatever musk has that distinct Abercrombie smell, I’m now getting a more subdued, balanced fresh spicy aromatic smell in the base. This is really pleasant to me, and no longer giving me that one to one Abercrombie replica feeling. I’ll probably revisit this another day to see how my thoughts change or stay the same.

I've recently tested this in the insane heatwave and it's by far the best smelling fragrance when you're sweating. It makes you smell like you're covered in sexy high quality shower gel (I have "Cremo Italian Bergamot", they go very well together). And it projects stronger the more you sweat. Makes a little clean aura around you that everybody will enjoy. Perfect for a hot summer. Also, I can't help but feel a similar undertone to Chanel Platinum Egoiste. Price is not a problem if you buy at a discount and get the larger bottle, totally worth it. It's gonna last a good while.

Really really nice. I think this must be there clone of Bleu de Chanel, though it also has impressions of Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce. A combination of two of the biggest mass appealing fragrances ever. I mean that in all of it good, and less than good, ways...All the comments about ascribing "Designer frag profile with niche brand quality" are spot on. Very aquatic, amber, the aromatics all combine into a very 'blue' feeling, hard to pull out the many individual notes which are blending in to a cloud.

One of the most versatile perfumes I know of. A more mature version of Abercrombie Fierce; it is deeper, stronger, and smells higher quality. 10/10.

Luxurious daily driver. If you want something more than basic designer blue scents, this is perfect for you. It is not very complex, but extremely good blended citruses, musk, spices and woods. Smooth, modern, sexy, high class, CEO vibes. You can wear it with suit no problem. At some point I want full bottle of this. For now I preferred to buy Perseus, but I love this one too. I have no issued with performance, it stays on me almost whole day. Good longevity for freshie. 8,5/10.
