Fierce by Abercrombie & Fitch is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. Fierce was launched in 2002. Fierce was created by Christophe Laudamiel and Bruno Jovanovic.

First Instinct perfumer, Phillippe Romano, said: “I wanted to create a modern fragrance that balances both the fresh elements of fougère with oriental warmth. All the notes together, create a scent with worldwide appeal for the Abercrombie & Fitch man and beyond.” First Instinct, an oriental fougère, is intended for “the confident man who is not afraid to express his feelings.” op notes include an aromatic gin & tonic accord combined with Kiwano melon. Middle notes offer spicy Szechuan pepper, airy violet leaves and tangy citrus. The basenotes are comprised of sueded musk with raw amber. Launched in 2016.

Fierce is timeless it doesn’t get old

[@mytopicsopinions2840]

Its very immature or juvenile.

[@alejandroserrano7755]

It is timeless. It does always smell goood BUT sometimes it gives me the same feeling as the Nautica fragances. They became so popular that they burned down.

[@jasonbarbosa708]

Fierce just works…fragsnobs just hate on this

[@michaeltartaglia7286]

I love fierce. I smelled it in Miami in 2009 for the first time. It's a classic cologne.

[@MegaSwole1]

Fierce gets a lot of hate but it smells damn good and women like it

[@Dondonden1234]

I love how you guys do these tests.

[@felixbrandau4751]

I like that you have all the different girls in one video ! When it comes to some things so subjective it is always good to have different opinions

[@nebiumessay8283]

The fierce used to last 8 hours. I purchased my fifth bottle in may 2023 and it doesn’t even last 30 minutes. I am very disappointed

[@LiebeNachDland]

Nice one. I love Jade's enthusiasm for these, as I am about her age group, along with you guys -- just referring to the memories associated with it for the generation. Holly had pleasing reaction as well. This one inspired to go back and think about these scents and I will probably pick up some Fierce soon. I recently got a sample of Legend as well and Mont Blanc did a very good job with that one. It's fairly honorable, but that Fierce vibe is just great overall. I think Fierce would still be a great wear year around and to me it's just still a modern masterpiece. I also think the scent itself really actually is "unique" and beautiful, separate from its distinguishability and popularity. Credit to where credit is due. (I already left this comment on similar video from you, but I am on an A&F binge, haha.)

[@TroyD247Mall]

I think fierce has to be the winner here. I just revisited and reviewed the 2002 bottle on my channel and I have to say if we added the compliments of everyone for the past 18 years we know who’s the winner lol

[@Cooliewhistles]

Woods was so fing legendary. 10/10 back in the day.

[@westonmickey3890]

They just released the 90's smelling woods a few months ago. It's a limited release so get it while you can.

[@hotelalphawhiskeykilogrunt7925]

Fierce is the best cologne period women love it it’s the best fragrance it’s better than all those 4-5-600$ colognes creed is good but doesn’t last as long and fierce is a better smell for women to smell on a man. First instinct blue is the next best they have not bad price either woods is too strong and musky not very good for me some may like it. Fierce red I forget the name is ok authentic is a different version of woods

[@Stifmeister1]

Love them or hate them, but A&F really know how to make lady pleasing scents 😎 I just wish Fierce had the performance it used to have... 😫

[@SoCalScents]

Stifmeister1 yeah they definitely don’t last very long. Shame as they used to! At least you can still get 4-5 hours out of them

[@Stifmeister1]

@@SoCalScents yeah! Although Fierce does last pretty well on my clothes, but on skin maybe 6-7 hours max

[@kyleroberts1276]

@@Stifmeister1 is 6-7 hours bad? That's actually decent

[@Stifmeister1]

@@kyleroberts1276 well yeah it's pretty ok, I just wished it projected a bit better. People claim it used to be a room filling beast back in the days... (I never tried the original formulation)

[@Rico4801]

She said ohhhh baby!🤣😅😄😂

[@sak_5]

I've got more compliments with Fierce than Creed Aventus Cologne or LV Afternoon Swim from ladies in their 30s-40s. I live in Miami (warm and humid weather). Too bad the longevity of Fierce is not like when it came out more than 10 years ago.

[@SoCalScents]

Isaac Garcia yeah, fierce has that high compliment factor. If it smells good and works, it’s a winner. Wish it did last longer as well

[@cheezuschrist1102]

Get Percival then

[@PowerControl]

There is a youtube guy who tested the old version, got two bottles of them, but in reality they were much (!) weaker than the current versions, especially the 2020 version.

[@BobRoss-wm3lc]

How old are you and when you say longevity do you mean how long the scent stay on you?

[@kirantiruvathuru9934]

Fitch is much better than Creed

[@omarmitre5821]

How about First Instinct Extreme? Is it much better than the regular First Instinct?

[@mytopicsopinions2840]

Could yall do a video over the hollister SO CAL cologne. I forgot about that one. and the name of your channel is SoCal scents

[@Vincemasta100]

Quite a cologne collection y’all got in the back there, looking nice! Even see Perry Ellis there, my first fragrance (Although not a fan)

[@SoCalScents]

Vincemasta100 this isn’t the complete collection either. Same, it’s only slightly different than Gio, and if I’m going to wear something that’s similar, might as well wear Gio.

[@jasonk12345]

the OG OG abercrombie & fitch was the best. before woods even came out.

[@SoCalScents]

Jason K got to try that one sometime!

[@jasonk12345]

@@SoCalScents unfortunately its not easy to find, and when you do its pricey. found a decant on ebay randomly one day. now i just spray it every once in a while for the nostalgia feels lol. def try to get your nose on it if you can, its a good one. great channel guys.

[@TroyD247Mall]

Yup! I recently reviewed it the 2002 bottle and wowwww memories!

[@merope100]

Since the second woman liked fierce so much, I wonder what she would have thought of percival by parfums de marley since it is so similar but in my opinion more refined and slightly more mature.

[@SoCalScents]

@@James7995 discontinued again. Smells pretty different. My bottle from 2003/4 was the second iteration of it and changed a bit too but was at least semi close. The one from a few years ago changed to much

[@johngg25]

I was the college guy when I finally said I need to smell better than sweat and BO, if I plan to land a hot chick. Woods was the first cologne that I remember actually being able to tolerate myself. It landed me a lot of late 90’s and early 2000’s babes, including the one I married. The wife loves all those fragrances, but still says Woods is her fav on me. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I’ll stock up before I hit 50 😅 Because I don’t think they’ll let me in the store anymore.

[@SoCalScents]

So woods is only sold in their online store now! They just re-released it!!! No need to go into the store 😉

Why does every scent have to be a club scent? Not everyone goes to a dam club I never go clubbing it's so annoying ever heard of a work scent or a mall scent or a eating out scent? Club scent lol that's so annoying as if you could even smell fragrance in a club

[@onkeltorNOR]

Haha, this hit home. Whenever someone says "This scent would be great for the club-scene" they could literally say it's great for a "space station-scene" for my part. Can I wear it to coffee at my grandma's? Give us realistic scenarios, lol.
