Fierce for Men (2002)
by Abercrombie & Fitch

Well, I happened to be in a mall where an A&F store was located so I ducked on in to smell this stuff. I really wasn't impressed but I wasn't expecting much. It's definitely fresh, has a watery-woody base and is slightly musky/amber(?) sweet. I will give this points for longevity, the card I sprayed it on still held its fragrance after 24 hours. Not terrible but not worth $1/ml

Well I got my first bottle of this today and I'm amazed that no one seems to mention how much this smells like a Claiborne!? This smells like a softer Curve to my nose. Very pleasent but CERTAINLY not worth the $100 price tag. I have studied the bottle to make sure its not a fake (would they bother faking this?) and it looks far too exact to be a copy. Hmmm

Normally I am very anti-mall store cologne because they are almost an after thought by the company and are one of the easiest ways to make money with an inferior product. However, Abercrombie prides itself on its scents, going so far as to install special vents in its flagship store to pump Fierce throughout the store. (In regular stores, the employees are required to mist all the mannequins and the air every 20 - 30 minutes with the cologne.) Fierce is without a doubt the cologne that gets me the most compliments whenever I wear it. I was in Montreal and was almost attacked (in a good way) by two women who wanted to know where to get the cologne. When I told them it was only available in the United States, they wanted to meet me at my hotel to buy my bottle. In Italy, I would notice people's heads turn and their eyebrows raise with the expression of 'wow!' when I wore this and walked near them. I have never been on a date while wearing Fierce that didn't end with a compliment on how well I smelled followed by a little kissing. This cologne made me a rock star during Mardi Gras. This is a young man's cologne, however. I can't imagine anyone under the age of 25 wearing it. It is a very youthful and powerful citrus and pine scent. It has a very distinctive scent and I have never smelled any other brand that is quite like it. I find that its staying power is INCREDIBLE and can often smell it on my clothes days later after only 2 or 3 pumps. I saw someone say on here that they didn't find it to last long. Did you buy it on EBay? EBay's sellers are notorious for watering this cologne down to 1 part water, 1 part cologne because it so strong out of the bottle that they can get away with this. This cologne is very unique and youthful and the right person can use this cologne to get a lot of attention.

Fierce is actually really nice. It starts out with a mild citrus and spicy high note. The mid notes aren't super inovative, just a clean scent. But the drydown is a nice spicy wood. It is a little expensive for how long it lasts, but for dates and informal events, this is nice.

I get bottles of this for free so I always have some in my wardrobe and I wear it depending on what kind of bar I'm going to for the night. It lasts awhile on my skin but on my brother it does not. Girls love this cologne but a lot of them say its played out and I agree. The scent is warm masculine and trendy so if thats what you're looking for snag a bottle.

great scent..
top note is a citrus smell
base note is a woody musk smell
I do not own this cologne but i smelt it in an Abercrombie store. This scent smells similar to colognes in Hollister. This is a classic cologne for teenagrers and the chicks love it!!
