Banger green signature with longevity
This is the best Authentic and maybe the most interesting frag release of 2022. I love this banger scent.

Perfect safe signature with good longevity for a semi-freshie. It’s just well executed, smoother and better version of the familiar apple-theme popularized by Hugo Boss.

This is for smelling casual, effortlessly sexy. Use it day at work or club, very versatile dumbreach. You won’t go wrong here.

Perhaps the flaw is a bit non-descript or Hugo Boss-like. But who cares. This is the crown creation of a already very good line.

simpler Boss Bottled EdT
without testing it, I was slightly scoffing at comments saying it's similar, but it's really close to it. This one is much more woodier, and doesn't have as strong vanilla/apple. The simplicity comes from the lonesome neroli heart.

the bottle looks nice, has a magnetic cap, weak(small squirts) but good atomizer and a leathery brand tag, that's a 9 from me.

Sillage/Longevity seem weak at first impression... / Update, yeah, not good.
Price is lower/middleish range.

Someone said that a dupe like this is unnecessary, I say your comment is unnecessary lol.

A reagent that will enchant you both visually and chemically...
"Loving child, you look so hungry... Here, take an apple..." - said the wicked witch to Snow White.

-hits on-

"Gummy bears bouncing here and there and eeeeverywhere"

It’s really hard to find the right words here.
On one hand, this Eau de Toilette, with its very strong top notes of apple and cinnamon, gives me the feeling of Christmas in summer; on the other hand, it is just so incredibly fresh that I feel a sense of freedom, lightheartedness, and a walk in the sandalwood forest we all know around the corner, where vanilla greets us, entwined around every branch with its beautiful blossoms... So you see, there is nothing "authentic" about these "moments"!

However, that absolutely does not change the fact that it is a damn beautiful scent; it does not smell synthetic and is anything but heavy. On the contrary, if you were to bottle it in a Red Bull can, "Red Bull gives you wings" is a very fitting statement for this fragrance.

But beware! Just as quickly as you rise into the air and drift into dreams, just as quickly it can be over, and you land on the bland ground of reality; nothing is fruity-fresh, cinnamon-citrusy, and woody-vanilla anymore... That moment when the colors and good mood of reality fade, and you realize that the scent has dissipated.

Similar to Dr. Jekyll, who transforms not into Mr. Hyde but into one of the many colorful gummy bears from our well-known children's series when he gulps down this beautiful toxic green reagent, it is uncertain how long the effect of this potion lasts.

For some, the longevity is a very good average, while for others, the fun is over after just a few hours, at least for those who do not aspire to a side career as a vampire, because then you can only smell the fragrance directly with your nose on the skin.

Nevertheless, Abercrombie & Fitch (which almost sounds like Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde) has created a truly beautiful, excitingly fresh scent here. At this price, it doesn’t hurt to carry a small travel bottle and reapply the fragrance from time to time.

I love the combination of the toxic green liquid in this elegant reagent bottle with the somewhat decadent-looking faux leather label - it visually resembles a potion very much - Love it!!!!

Therefore, I give it an absolute recommendation to buy, considering the fluctuating longevity, as long as one is willing to reapply the scent from time to time.

Smells as it looks
Apple? Bergamot?

I don't smell any of the fruity notes at all. The scent is very dominated by sandalwood. A sweet, warm fragrance, very good for autumn and winter. More suitable for evenings and especially for enclosed spaces. Sillage is not good and longevity is terrible. After 2 hours, you can forget about it.

The fragrance sits unused on my shelf. For every occasion, I have a perfume that I prefer to wear. Because even for the cold seasons, there are scents that are simply warmer, sweeter, and more comforting, and perform much better.

I think there are reasons why the fragrance remains rather unknown.

Oh, and by the way, the sprayer is absolute garbage. It sprays only about 4cm without any joke and distributes poorly. Completely powerless, and the worst part is this unbearably annoying squeaking with the 100ml bottle (not with the small one). Who on earth could have allowed such a terrible thing into production? It remains inexplicable to me…

Cuddled up by the crackling fireplace
This unassuming brownish scent seems to be made for such moments. If there were a perfume category called "Cuddly," it could undoubtedly be placed there immediately. In my view, it is perfect for the transitional seasons. I associate it with autumn; after a long workday in October, you walk down the street covered with fallen leaves towards home, showering while your partner has the warm pumpkin soup already on the stove. This fragrance fits perfectly into the subsequent intimacy under a warm wool blanket in front of the crackling fireplace.

The bottle is beautifully crafted with a magnetic closure. Many higher-priced fragrances could take a good lesson from this!

Full recommendation, although the longevity might deter some from purchasing.

The sweet spice in large doses is soon too much for the nose - woody-floral - well thought out and well made, but unfortunately it's not for me...

Impulse buy. Scent DNA is okay. H/S unfortunately not really good. Gentle, not overpowering fragrance. Suitable for the office. Similar to Boss B.

Beautiful soft woody sweet scent with the same problem as its Abercrombie counterparts. Longevity and sillage are unfortunately poor.

The similarity to Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette is undeniable. However, I like the drydown here much better...

Took Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette as inspiration. A bit spicier, unfortunately poor longevity. The bottle is beautifully designed.

If you like Boss Bottled, you’re in the right place! The scent smells exactly the same to me. If you want to save, you can grab this instead of Boss.

Apple with vanilla? You can't go wrong with that!
