Authentic Night Homme

This is problematic. Why? Well - I’m 36 years old. And while Abercrombie will always have a nostalgic spot all to itself within the deepest corner of my heart, we parted ways at my high school graduation in 2002. So besides feeling a little too old to wear this, it’s also problematic because I really enjoy it. I realize I brought this on myself. Ok yea. It’s super sweet. Ultra male type sweet. But there’s something weird beneath the sweetness that’s extremely alluring. Almost as if Fierce DNA is hiding in there - waiting to sneak out and release rugged sex on everyone. For the record, fierce came out while I was still in college - so I’m allowed to talk about it. Nevermind the fact I was on the 5 year bachelors program ;) Alright. Time to get serious. This stuff is really nice - forget the name - forget your pre existing bias or hatred - solely based on the smell, it’s fantastic. Yes, there is a “fierce undertone” - that’s a fact. However - this scent is about Tonka and lavender. With that said - the fierce undertone is what makes it so intriguing. If this were just a sweet Tonka and lavender scent, it would be trash. I’ll wear it. And when people ask me what it is? Well it’s guerlain, of course. 30 bucks on eBay for 100ML - full presentation (which is nicer than most scents you can get from the Macy’s counter) I’m all in on this one. Nearly guaranteed to triple in price over the next few years - like most Abercrombie scents do, so don’t wait too long.

A mouthwatering, spicy, leathery, woody, fresh, and edible scent that goes playful and classy at the same time. Totally in line with the brand and very modern smelling. The night vibe is present since it goes sweet. Well blended and balanced. Reminds me instantly of the pre-reformulated Ultra Male that had strong leather and juicy fruits. But it does it’s own thing and is classier and softer than any Gaultier. Also a little Armani Stronger with you. I also am thinking about Eros (from the tonka and vanilla) and Armani Code Absolu (from the sweet apple with leather). Not as strong as these other fragrances, this is a fresh and pretty safe take on the modern fall scent for nightwear. Sillage is good, it wants to escape my skin and mingle. Longevity is not the beast you want it to be. A sweet and leathery scent profile should have been a little more amped up for night wear.. The bottle is 10/10. Beautiful, classy and dark and mysterious like the scent. Also I like that they did a transparent lid, sort of a reference to being authentic and not hiding anything ;) I’m 36 and I don’t care about wearing teen scents. However, I think this smell is for a grown man with taste. I find it pretty mature for an A&F scent. No compliments yet but these times you hardly can get compliments.

Been wanting this one for a while, glad I waited until I found it shopping around because it’s not worth the inflated prices it was first going for. Not a bad fragrance by any means, will definitely get some use during these colder months. I don’t really smell any of the comparisons listed above *directly* but this definitely flows in the same direction - sweet night out/possibly date night fragrance. Has a bit of Brigit fruitiness to it too, which I’m guessing is the rhubarb and that makes it a little different than the rest. Presentation is solid, strong magnetic cap with a faux leather embossed label, nice gradient bottle that really coincides with the fragrance. Paid $30 for a 50ML and I’m completely ok with that. Decent fragrance IF you like the style. PS- really annoying when people hate on fragrances without any reason whatsoever. Not helpful...at all. If you feel THAT strongly about it, maybe you should have some sort of argument for the *don't buy* that will help like-minded would-be purchasers. jMO

I had to register to point out that this has nothing to do with Ultra Male (which I own) and has everything to do with Fierce (which I owned). Bought my 3.4 bottle from eBay for 38 bucks and I tried it arrived yesterday. So this is just like Fierce but a bit darker/sour. I will say that it projects well and has a sillage of about 2-4 feet. I used it last night at 9PM after gym in my inner elbow (2 sprays) to test it, then I took a shower about an hour and a half after. At that point I could still perceive the Fierce aroma until I went to sleep an hour later. Right now, it is 1 PM and there is a noticeable sweet fragrance that is on the skin of my inner elbow that doesn't project but it is so good when I bring my nose to that spot. So overall I can say I love this one. It is a good release by A&F and I will say it may please the crowd that misses the original (before reformulation) Fierce or any new comers that would like to try what Fierce used to be like.

Gosh, this is good! Percival/Fierce/Montblanc and BR540. Who's the perfumer? We need to know because it might be an idea checking out his/her other work. Forget the price - it's an absolute steal. This is the kind of stuff you'll find in handsome niche bottles that sell for $250. For me, Authentic Night retains most of the union of the fragrances mentioned above throughout the wear, which lasts an excellent 10 hours - longevity is no issue on me. By the way, Authentic Night does come in an attractive bottle - presentation is quality. Authentic Night is an addictive masculine fragrance that works year round, in all situations. It is different, yet familiar. This just works. In some way I'm fine with this fragrance not being hyped. We'll keep its splendour to ourselves😉
