Our take

What does Fierce smell like?

Launched in 2002, Fierce is inseparable from Abercrombie & Fitch stores, where it was sprayed so liberally you could often smell it from the pavement. The composition is a fresh, energetic, highly legible aromatic woody scent. The opening is bright and green: petitgrain, lemon, orange, cardamom and fir needles build a resinous, zesty freshness. Jasmine, rosemary and lily of the valley form a clean, airy floral heart. Musk, oakmoss, vetiver and woody notes leave an impression of clean skin and pale wood, with remarkable staying power for an eau de Cologne. It evokes a flannel shirt, a pine forest, a campus in autumn.

VerdictA fresh, effective aromatic wood whose strong brand association may limit its appeal.
