Introduction
On today's post of Cologne Connoisseurs, who said you need to give an arm & a leg for expensive Designer Colognes-I’m looking at you Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani and Creed Aventus by Creed (even though I may end up making an article about these colognes in the future anyway). Introducing an old High School favorite of mine- Fierce by Abercrombie & Fitch!
To put it mildly, you will NEVER NOT get compliments from this cologne. For all we know maybe its success lies in the High School Nostalgia or the heavy association of the scent with a store that has Californian-looking, spiceboys with pompadours and red windbreakers huddling outside flexing their 8-Packs.
Sadly not all of us have the means nor time to sculpt our bodies to look like Zac Efron's or Nick Bateman's, but we can sure as hell try to smell as good as they look!
Scent Composition
Fierce by Abercrombie & Fitch has Top Notes of Lemon, Orange, Fir, Cardamom and Petitgrain. Middle Notes of: Jasmine, Rosemary, Rose and Lily-Of-The-Valley Flower. This exotic menagerie is nestled on a base of: Oak, Vetiver, Musk and Brazilian Rosewood.
Scent Usage
Due to it's heavy musk and oil base, I would recommend this scent be used during the cooler periods of the year, preferably in areas with dryer climate.
This particular is best used during informal, social events as opposed to any formal business meeting or soiree.
Conclusion
No matter how old I get, this particular fragrance will always be a gem of nostalgia. Hell, the fondest memories I ever had was literally napalming myself with this back in 2010 when I was still attending a Private, Catholic school in England at Year 7/6th Grade. In short, the criminal amount of compliments I got really made this the Golden Age of being a Pre-Teen.
And to this day, even as a young adult living in New York City, I still have my little descent into decadence every now and then when I get tired of using the same old Versace Eros or Bleu De Chanel and decide to switch up the track record to my favorite black-and-white bottle adorned with some random bloke's six-pack popping out and jeans halfway down his butt.
