Perfume No.1

I tested No. 1 out today (12 hours later I still smell it on) and was already worried it would turn out far too masculine, after reading all the reviews, before even spraying it on. Honestly, I found this gorgeous on. Very sexy and musky, yet refreshing at the same time. I caught some citrus too. It could work being unisex but I feel that would be an unwise choice as it danced between being ultra feminine to sultry vixen to unisex on me. Test it out before buying if nothing else. After deciding I liked it, I blind tested my family to see which they preferred: Alien, No.1, or L'Eau d'Issey. They all preferred No. 1, although Alien was a very close second. I don't see a teenage girl pulling No. 1 off at all. It needs a wearer who is mature, skilled, confident, and knows what she wants and how to get it -- think mid-twenties or even a teen who is mature beyond her years. Great for a formal-casual event, hiking, or everyday wear. I might pick this one up later but I wasn't thrilled enough to go out and buy it immediately simply because I already have a large wish list as it is. 6/10

This scent is very good, better than one would expect for something aimed at a young audience and for the price. A lot of more supposedly legitimate fragrance makers shoot for this kind of scent, and miss. This one gets it right. It smells woodsy and fresh with a small amount of orange and hint of spice. It does conjure images of leather, though there's no real reason for that. Maybe just my imagination. It's relaxing and comforting despite the masculine notes, which too often conjure "office appropriate". This is more like a weekend bonfire.

I bought this perfume because A&F always perfumed their clothes and I fell in love with this scent. The buying is not disappointing at all. I used it every day before going to work (though I think it is better to wear for night) and it always spells so good and gives me good mood. But it does not last very long. I like the bottle too, simple but elegant. The bottle is of nice work and quality, not like some new perfumes since a few years, you can tell that the bottle despite the new design looks to cheap.

just bought a bottle in seattle the whole store smells like the perfume I just had to buy it, I love it, Perfect for winter.

I really like this scent. The pine is prominent - very refreshing. Yes it is unisex

Scentmojis: 🌲🍊🥾🧔🏻❄️ Unisex, leaning more toward a masculine fragrance, this is a simple and not unpleasant pine scent. It’s not sweet—there’s almost a peppery-ness to it. It makes me think of a dad / a man who’s hardworking, reliable, and uncomplicated. It’s not a smell that’s trying hard to be sexy, but it sort of is nonetheless. I would like this on a man, but I like to wear it, too, once in a while. It’s most definitely a cold-weather scent, and not for every day—but it provides a nice change from the more typical floral-fruity perfumes.

I have a new appreciation for this after ordering the sample kit on their site of the current best sellers. They all smelled like flankers of each other....the same variation of citrus, flowers, and vanilla. I couldn’t even distinguish between them enough to chose which one to buy a full bottle of. I now really appreciate the unique personality of No 1 ...especially the pine and sandalwood notes that give it so much more depth.

I received this free with a recent Abercrombie purchase and think its wonderful! Its completely different than any other fragrance I have. Many would think it to be on the unisex side but its really appropriate for a woman! Its really sexy.

Very interesting to market a perfume that’s this pine-forward to women. I find it masculine-leaning and a little formal-feeling on me, but not overly so. Like wearing your boyfriend’s button down the morning after a fancy night out. I think it would smell better on my boyfriend, but I might put it on myself when I miss him. Lasted about three hours on my skin. I could only really smell it when i sniffed my wrists, but with this kind of scent profile I don’t really mind that.

I think this was one of the worst perfume purchases I ever made.. I ended up selling it, since it was way too loud and masculine for me. At first I liked the fresh notes, but when you wear it for a whole day there's only the musky, masculine scents left.. It's not very nuanced at all :/ despite the cute flacon, this really is a masculine scent to me.

Geez... I never thought I could dislike a perfume so much. I sprayed this on my wrists in the store about an hour ago, and it dried down purely sour and bitter. It smells almost exactly like the inside of an old car that someone smoked in for years. Awful scent.

Smells like a generic men's cologne, can't think of anything more elaborate to say about it than that.

Fresh and citrusy at first. Then much to masculine for my taste. Does have good lasting power.

Oh wow! I must say ...... This is the first A&F perfume I have ever liked and owned. I actually cringed when I was making a line to buy this. All the negative opinions surrounding the brand and the image of youth plastered throughout their walls, the hoards of loud kids inside the store couldn't keep me away from this perfume. What a surprise this was! Its like meeting a girl! It introduces itself being quite boyish and rough. The beginning is reminiscent of a males cologne. I suspect this is all about the "pine" notes doing their work.In fact I thought I had sprayed the male version so I decided to ignore my wrist and walked through the store oblivious to the transformation that was taking place. As the scent developed on my skin it grew a whole new and "clean" persona. A soap and flowers scent so soft it was actually discreet. I was so attracted to the purity of the composition (Im so used to being bombarded by complex perfumes). It relaxed me to the point I forgot about everything else going on around. It reminded me of body lotion, feel good showers followed by white towels, a cool breeze wafting though my window. I guess it must be up to your own skin chemistry to make this scent grow and blossom. As the scent develops the most beautiful flowers bloom in the middle and in the dry down. Its a boyish girl finally showing off her feminine personality. It is surprising, lovely and sexy. The girl turns out to be quite smooth, a beautiful contrast to every girl you know, rarely uncomplicated, easy to hangout with and classy to the point its endearing. The ending is a refreshing version of a vase filled with white and soft fluffy blooms.... the kind you have to lean in to smell. I almost smell a clean musky note in the end but I really couldn't be sure of this.... it might be my own skin chemistry. No. 1 is that girl you have known to be a somewhat simple, she goes to parties with wet hair and just a dab of lipgloss, she's a little rough around the edges, even a little masculine sometimes but then one time she wore that dress and completely changed all your thoughts about her. It is a light, clean and close to the skin scent. Its the one you wear when you want a guy to lean in.

this is a very strange perfume ,confusing masculine very masculine it can easily be a unisex..i think i like the mandarin in it the freshness the muskiness and the balmy powdery woodsy notes..its a light perfume a fresh one good for work school or college its not a signature or distinctive perfume..but uyou can call it a nice perfume i guess for the armature noses..its a crowd pleaser a simple..everyday scent..thats not offensive to others and will just make you blend in with the rest of the crowd..it smells clean as if you have just showered..good for summer .. perfume ratting 3.3 out of 5 bottle ratting 3.9 out 5

Writing for Abercrombie & Fitch no.1 Bare, since I can’t find that one: This was my signature scent all throughout college. I can’t believe it’s so unknown that it doesn’t have its own page? It’s discontinued now and I’m running out so I have to look for a replacement but it’s not even clear what the notes are and I’m still a noob so I can’t figure it out myself!!! What I know is it’s white floral-ly and musky and sexy & perfect on me... Everytime my boyfriend smells this on me he has a little madeleine moment of fun memories in college...

It's not on their website anymore and resellers are charging $140 for it now, so I'm assuming it's been discontinued. Horrible decision, if so. This is the only scent Abercrombie made that wasn't cheap and toxic. A beautiful, unisex, everyday spray. Long lasting and office safe, yet still exuding personality and decent sillage, if desired. I'll hold onto my bottle now.

I love this perfume. There's a sense of freshness, and edginess to it. You could wear jeans and a white shirt and wear this perfume, and be unstoppably feminine, and daring. It's one of my favourites. It's memorable for sure.

A first A&F fragrance to my perfume wardrobe. I love the fact that this is a different fragrance. Sadly does not have good lasting power on me. Was hoping for the "wow" effect.

Smells good, but yeah, a bit masculine for my taste. My friend said it smelled like old spice aftershave after a while. But it lasts for a long time!

This oddly reminds me of babies.
