Fragrance Reviews by Adama

My first cologne purchase, I bought this stuff basically because my girlfriend liked it. It smells great, like a day at the ocean captured in a bottle, but I really only use this stuff for when I hit the gym. It seems to work best that way, where it turns the usual sweaty-guy smell into a salty seaweed that is far more pleasent.

The drydown is very light wood, and is sometimes nice as a casual outing frag, when you don't want to smell too much of anything.

Starts off with an almost sickly smelling soap, which thankfully disappears into a nice subtle leather. I don't seem to have as many problems with sillage as some reviewers- I had one friend tell me that they were able to smell me from about 15 feet away (with a modest 2 sprays an hour beforehand). After a while though, this stuff fades, but never truely leaves the skin.

One thing to note is that girls like this stuff; I've been told that I smell "very manly", and have been encouraged to wear it more often.

The bottle is also nice- made to resemble a flask, it works well with the cologne.

All said and done, this is decent stuff, especially considering the $16 price tag that it's currently at. Not the best frag, but by no means the worst- a more mature scent for the Abercrombie line. On my own i'd give it a neural, but it gets thumbs-up because of the female-compliments!

A great scent that I look very forward to using as my "everyday" this coming winter!

I wore this stuff all summer- it's great for when you just want a hint of freshness, nothing heavy.
For those complaining of sillage, i suggest a combo of cologne and the body lotion (which I use as aftershave every so often!).
Also, the little sample soaps that accompany this stuff are great... my friends all come out of my bathroom smelling their hands.

Highly recommended, though I'd suggest waiting until next summer.

Good stuff- longevity is terrible, though. I wear it to class because it's guaranteed to only last about an hour or two at the most, letting me wear other stuff later on. It gets the thumbs-up because of that hour or two, though.
