Chosen my daily/signature frag...you're going to slate me!

Hey all,

So, after testing and buying loads of frags recently I couldn't settle on the one daily frag, the signature scent that I can't reach over to get to another.

Well, I have now.

It's not Terre D'Hermes, D&G the one/sport, none of my Chanel, Aventus is too expensive as a daily wear, legend came close but the winner is ... A&F Fierce!

Yep, as soon as I smelled this and wore it I felt comfortable and confident. It's the only one my colleagues have complimented me on an it lasts all day.

I understand it is a common fragrance in the US but it took me a while to find a supplier so I'm hoping not many other people will have it.

Sorry that it isn't a top class fragrance but I can't stop smelling it.

I haven't tried everything yet I know but I like fierce enough to cancel nearly every order I had for other frags.

Going to start choosing wisely from now on, only tested and liked frags get bought because every blind buy could be another bottle of fierce instead.

Just got lanvin avant garde on its way which I've heard may be a good daily scent.

Pick whatever you like best and best suits you. A&F is an excellent choice btw.

Any signature scent is a good choice and if it keeps you happy and you enjoy it, go for it.

Abercrombie Fierce is actually a good scent. No shame.

I have legend and granted it does have a ring of fierce to it but there's just a bit more depth to fierce. Something I can't quite put my finger in but it smells sexier.

My wife loves it too and today whilst sat in a meeting a lady said "someone smells nice" and then later asked me what I was wearing.

Really made me smile and think I'd made the right choice.

Whatever makes you happy is what is important.

Cool...popularity or price is no substitute for a favorite/daily scent. 5 day work week I usually go for Versace The Dreamer 2-3 of those days.

Couldn't agree more, & I'm with you on The Dreamer. I don't have a signature scent per se, but I find myself reaching for Dreamer usually 3 or so times a week. It just feels comfortable and like me. Also, I can't imagine an occasion where it wouldn't work.
