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!

Fougère Fantasies
There are fragrances where the boundaries between "classic" and "niche" seem to blur. This raises the question of what counts as a "boundary" and what could be understood as "classic" and "niche." Prepared for all possible tones and undertones (apparently), I sprayed a bit of the freshly swapped and very rare fragrance on myself. First impression: "Classic Fougère." Shortly thereafter, the second impression: "somehow niche"... as it is very rich in variations. An over- and under-layering of Fougère notes. When it comes to further "classifications," I find it a bit more challenging. Here, "classic" herbal notes stand in contrast to "niche" floral ones. When have I ever smelled rosemary next to rose and jasmine? In hardly any other fragrance.
And when have I ever encountered cheerful-warm "citrus" alongside quite prominent spices and green-balsamic fir resin?
The further development could again be quite "classic" with its moss and wood next to vetiver in the base. But even here, the unusual keeps shining through, making it, in the best sense, "borderline," to be a purely classic Fougère. It's like a kaleidoscope. The optical device may be an old idea. The type of patterns it contains, the material that, when "shaken," produces different variations each time. If it is opaque, it has different properties than one that sparkles or is transparent. The patterns can seem very "niche." Even surrealistic. Everything is relative. So is the perception of fragrances. And these often cannot be clearly defined in their "class."
UNUSUAL is probably the most fitting term here. Not everyday. And Fougère in fantasy variations. From compact to almost transparent-ethereal!

Resin drips from fir wood, citrus dances to a spicy rhythm. Rosemary counters herby roses and jasmine. Moss, grass, and dark woods loom!
