This is the perfect fragrance when the air turns cold... It goes on sweet and you can smell the bourbon vanilla right away. The sweet creaminess stays with you the whole time and the barest hint of fruit reveals itself after the perfume dries a little. As it fades away, it leaves only the memory of vanilla and the sweetness of amber. This perfume has pretty amazing staying power on me...I can easily still smell it the next morning. It's *almost* cloying at first, but not quite, and that goes away pretty quickly. This smells absolutely divine worn under a comfy sweater, peeled off to reveal the delicious smell. This is one of my favorite winter fragrances ever!

I used to wear this scent all the time when I worked at Abercrombie (switched between this and Fierce). I was young at the time and didn't know too much about fragrance notes. All I knew is that it smelled like sophisticated Fruit Loops and crayons if that makes sense,lol. Despite not being the target age for Abercrombie anymore, I still wear this scent because of nostalgia and because it's just so pleasant smelling overall. I always receive compliments on it. It's a nice blend of vanilla, musk,and fruity notes. No, it's not one of those overtly sweet, teeny bopper fragrances. This perfume surpasses the test of time ;)

This one is an oldie but a goodie for me. I used to be obsessed with this perfume in college. It just smells so yummy, sweet but also fresh and clean and bit powdery. It has crazy sillage, I remember my friend used to wear it, and you could smell her as soon as she entered the room (in a good way!). I still have a bit left, and wear it occasionally. Nothing really reminds me of this perfume, it's quite unique smelling and really pretty. The bourbon vanilla is a really interesing note. Oh, and I read somewhere that Taylor Swift used to love this. Kinda funny. :)

Abercrombie & Fitch’s website states the notes are “The perfect combination of floral with a bit of edge, the essences of peach, jasmine and warm sandalwood come together seamlessly.” Not only do the notes on Fragrantica not match the description, but this has no Smell of grapefruit, orange of any kind. I love this perfume and it is definitely not citrusy. The peach plays a role in the background, but I don’t even consider this a fruity floral at all.

I'm such a gourmand gal but this has been my go to fragrance since I was a preteen. I've tried so many perfumes over the years but nothing compares! It layers so well with my body sprays and lotions and is the perfect accent. I love the musk in it, I think if the other notes were more prominent, I wouldn't love it as much! Something about Abercrombie's perfumes are just so unique, you'll never smell anything quite like them

This has gotta be one of my best blind perfumes, as i caved in after reading so many rave reviews, as well as heeding recommendations from friends. Love the fact that it has vanilla, which has to be my favorite note in any perfume. As a fan of sweet scents, i have to say that this falls in line with my scent preferences, and the sillage is at the right level, it is not too light nor too heavy. Makes a perfect gift <3

PERFECT winter scent. the bourbon vanilla is such a unique note and it's one of the most noticeable, yet inoffensive fragrances that can really cut through the cold air. one of the best sillage that i've yet to come across in a fragrance. my friend wore this and i could smell it on her as soon as she entered the room. it smells sort of like the clothing store except with vanilla :P

I believe the introduction year is wrong above---it was released at least as early as Spring of 2002 because my boyfriend at the time bought me the 100ml bottle when we went away on spring break that year. Still one of my favorites, for nostalgia's sake.

Reminds me of College, this was my signature scent, A compliment getter and so nostalgic. It’s a very clean inviting cashmere type scent. Think Warm cotton and sunshine. Unisex but I would say more feminine leaning. Year round I’d also say.

I really like this. Smells like fresh sunscreen. No coconut here, just fluffy musk, sweet citrus, powder, and a 2000s melon note. Very clean and uplifting. I see myself wearing this one to work.

Hands down the best winter perfume out there. It's kind of zesty--I smell soap and oranges with a beautiful vanilla, powdery dry-down. Plus it has surprisingly good staying power.

I just got this perfume and I love it! Absolutely love the spicy-vanilla smell. It smells... POWERFUL. That's how I describe it. It's more of a winter scent :)

Where did Fragrantica get those notes from?!?!?? The official Abercrombie site says : GINGER AND RICH PEACH NECTAR COMBINE WITH SUBTLE HINTS OF JASMINE PETAL.

This was my signature scent in College, curca 2005-2008, fresh and comforting in the best way, musky skin scent. All year round and inoffensive

Yes this is very similar to mania, the newer one w the white cap

My favorite. My friends always tell me I smell "orgasmic" lol

I went into store to revisit this one, like many others I had a fling with this perfume years ago and smelling it was definitely nostalgic. To me it’s a very simple perfume, nothing super complex or deep about it. I don’t know if I’d say this is a “sexy” perfume oddly enough even though it is from Abercrombie. It definitely smells clean which I guess some could interpret as “sexy”, fair enough. It almost reminds me of Sea Cotton Island from BBW. It’s not a dupe by any means but it’s the type of perfume that makes me think of clean laundry. I’ll be generous and say it smells like “sexy” clean laundry. Despite how fragrantica is describing it to my nose there is absolutely no citrus in this. It is sweet but not like a candy sweet or a gourmand in general sweet, I believe there’s peach that gives it sweetness but it also doesn’t smell fruity like a summer time perfume. I agree this has more of a fall/winter vibe but I think it could also be worn year round. Is this a mind-blowing perfume? No. I honestly forgot about this one, but I still appreciate this one for what it is. I have memories attached but I’m not gonna be buying a bottle, I’ll just appreciate what we had from a distance.

I was able to snag a half used bottle (square, silver top, simple design) of 8 from eBay and after the blast of alcohol which I assume is from it being old, you’re left with a soft, floral skin scent. It actually reminds me of a Philosophy perfume, something in the family of Amazing Grace. Very clean and inoffensive but pretty at the same time!

Wow this smells great! I’m unsure if I have the new formula or the old one because I bought it secondhand but it smells really beautiful. I definitely smell white musk but there’s also a little freshness to it, which is probably the citrus that I smell. I’m pleasantly surprised!

A friend wore this and it was DIVINE! I fell in love with it. I bought some and sadly it just wasn't the same on me. Not bad, just not clean and fresh on me. It was heavier and sweeter. I don't like sweet perfumes.
