Oh, sweet memories...
Growing up as a working class kid in Scandinavia, by the time I was 25 I'd managed saving enough money to make a journey through some of the United Stated for about a month. At that time in my life, the only perfume I used was a (sigh!) CK One I shared with my girlfriend, apart from that deodorant spray would have to do. I vividly remember the first times visiting american malls - those were not a thing in Scandinavia around the millenium - and especially the Abercrombe & Fitch stores, which all smelled magnificently. I later found out the smell was Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce. Fast forward ten years, I'm searching for Fierce which is hard to find here - and ridicously priced as well - and come across a british dupe which can be bought for as little as 15 €.
America Legend has all the notes I remember from A&F Fierce and they are spot on : An overload of fresh white musk, lemon, petitgrain, clary sage and fir on a heart of rosewood. Perfect woody aromatic.
But - please be advised that the sprayer is aerosol driven (like a deodorant) and will give off a generous amount of perfume. For those that find America Legend underperforming, I have a small story : about four years ago I had a short business meeting with a client where I applied 3 (three!) small sprays of AL at 7.30 in the morning after showering. The meeting was at 09.00 and we got through most of the negotiations within a short period of time. A little after 9.30 I left the client, but when I got to my car I realized that I'd forgotten some important signed documents in the meeting room. I enter the company again, open the door to the meeting room to pick up the documents and BAM! I'm hit with the most beautiful smell of white musk and woods. Needless to say, from that day on I only use two sprays per wearing.
Price/quality ratio is through the roof on this one!
