Reviews of Abercrombie & Fitch Woods
by Abercrombie & Fitch

Eh, Abercrombie wasn't doing quite so great back when they designed Woods. I recently obtained a bottle after reading all of the reviews, and seeing how fast it sells on Ebay. Honestly it wasn't impressive, the immediate scent I thought of when I sprayed this was soap. Cheap generic soap. THen it dries down to Amber, and a hint of wood. Then that's about it, just fades out into a generic light airy wood. Little bit of pine added in. I think it would've been better if it actually smelled more like Wood then soap, but that's my opinion. For the cost(say around 90$ if your lucky, 200$ if you purchase from a retailer) it's really not worth it. If you're a savy buyer, go buy a auction bottle, and resale, bout all that this fragrance is good for.

So sad. Bought my son this fragrance at A&F. I liked it immediately, and after "borrowing his," I bought the scent for my use. It is a wonderfully earthy, woodsy frgrance, that is light, but complex. Always brings comments from women, if lightly used. It does have staying power.

I have like 10 bottles of this stuff lying around and I can't wear it anymore. Girls use to go crazy over this stuff and thats the only reason why I wore it I never really liked the smell. Also it doesn't last so one bottle goes Quick. I wore a couple weeks ago and the girls still love this cologne so if you can track down a bottle I'd say pick it up for a girl getter, but it is expensive on ebay.

It is interesting to read the comments about this scent, it seems that I am experiencing something rather different. I see no similarity to old war-horses like Aramis or Trussardi Uomo. I find the spices to be light rather than deep, the wood to be fresh rather than resinous. I agree that Woods is fresh, clean, even a bit soapy. This is not the woodiest log in the pile, by any stretch of the imagination. It is a pleasant, subtle, mildly rich citrus-spice-wood experience. I enjoy it but don't expect the earth to move when I wear it.

such a wonderful frag...not sure why A&F would discontinue it. It was a wonderful seller and to replace it with Ezra Fitch which is HORRIBLE. I dont get it. So sad to lose such a great smell

I'm with Ronald on this one in that it's Trussardi Uomo's American brother. Uomo's better, though, and (even though it's also discontinued) it is cheaper, too. I saw some yutz paying $200 or so on eBay the other day for "Woods." Proof, I guess, that the gene pool needs a splash of chlorine.

I used this scent from 1993 to 2006 - until A&F discontinued it! Argh. Let's all email them to ask for it back. It was perfect for me, and everyone loved it on me. I tried Aramis and Michael Kors as main blurb states - no way! Not even close! Aramis could knock a house over. Curious to try Trussardi Uomo, as someone else mentions - but I did go to a half-dozen perfume specialty stores in Boston, trying out everyone's NOSE - with my bottle of almost-empty Woods in tow! Many misses - the closest I found were two by Kenneth Cole - close, but not quite right - Cole Signature and Cole Black.

I recall wearing this to a job interview/seminar four years ago. One of the employees I was talking to stepped away from me for a brief moment to do something. Seconds later, she comes right back to me to conversate some more. It must have been this scent that captivated her senses. It is a very woody, sweet-sexy fragrance that's suited for a mature man. Only problem is you have to reapply this scent, does not last long.

Cheap citrus generic wood cologne. In this case, you get what you pay for.

Wood formal enough aroma, I use it not often, but in I can name its sound and courageous, sometimes it very much does not suffice. All its notes are placed in typically American manner, it not strongly varies but thus does not tire. Aramis Tuscany its senior brother.

This is a definite winner. To my nose, it's similar in several ways to Trussardi Uomo. Not formal, but a going-out fragrance of the first order. It has great staying power and tremendous sillage. Besides, it's also a babe-magnet!

despite the fact that everyone and their mother has this scent (though not as popular as the regular Abercrombie, i don't think the teeny boppers can handle something that isn't 75% fresh), i still enjoy it. this stuff is just really manly to me. imagine your in a dense forest of fir trees in the mountains warming up by the fireplace in a blanket or just opening the front door to a snowy morning. its smells of fragrant wood at the beginning then theres a tinge of soapy freshness that seeps its way through after the drydown. its a nice balance of fresh and fragrant wood. the only downside is after about 6 hours the wood fades away and your left with something that smells like some cheap drugstore generic brand. other than that i'm a fan. this is the way clean men should smell!
