One should not look a gifted Fierce-double in the mouth
Christmas - the season of gifts. And when everyone knows your hobby, many of these presents should be fragrant, right? Not so fast. I also don't like to give friends things that are exactly related to their hobbies. Too much risk that they already own the gift, don't like it (and are right), or find it too cheap. So I could understand well if I hadn't received any perfume this year. But then this kitschy-silver Douglas skull flew in, even with shower gel - and I can't really complain that much. Clearly a Fierce copy, even scratchier, more synthetic, and less rounded. But still usable, versatile, hip. It also strikes similar notes as Chopard's Heaven or Joop's Nightflight, just 2 classes worse.
Aquatic, piercing, somewhat fruity, very fresh. Old, alcoholic aftershave so diluted, modernized, and made modern that it appeals to the youth. Just a bit too piercing, scratchy, especially at the beginning. It doesn't smell good and is unpleasant, but then it gets better and fiercer. In its bad phases, it eerily reminds one of Axe deodorant - brrr. Woody, mossy, maritime. Just everything on a flickering holodeck of a plastic Enterprise. But still, please don't despise it too much and rate it poorly, as the scent almost makes it better than more expensive copies like MontBlanc Legend.
Bottle: cheesy, but at least handy and with surprisingly good sprayer.
Sillage: not as strong as the original.
Longevity: 6 hours of fleeting refreshment at the lowest level.
So the scent is better than its reputation, price, or bottle would suggest. But still, Fierce owners will hardly wear it often, rather even pass it on. Maybe I'll explore the other 2 To Be scents at some point and see if they are also cheeky, somewhat inferior copies of famous fragrances.

Mont Blanc Legend has a really good pineapple note that Fierce doesn't have at all. I don't understand your criticism at all.
