Abercrombie Cologne
by Abercrombie & Fitch

If this is the fragrance that comes in a square bottle with a knob top just called Abercrombie and Fitch Cologne for Men, then I will say it is a YES! The fragrance itself is mostly linear after the first few minutes. It goes on horribly synthetic smelling, but within a minute or two settles into a wonderful sweet musky fragrance. This is no doubt a purely synthetic accord, but as of yet, I haven't gotten sick of it. I describe it as a sweet brown sugary geranium and light oakmoss accord, that is suble, but surprisingly has a decent longevity. Obviously others agree, because this stuff is going for ridiculous prices. If you can find an affordable sample or bottle, I say go for it. I think many of the A&F fragrances have this as a base accord. I first smelled a hint of it in the leathery Ezra Fitch, and thought to myself, if they could make a scent of just that one accord, they would have a winner...and of course, they already had.
