Finally arrived --> back to Vintage

Thanks DUA, over the last few months Fierce has cost me a lot of nerves. As some reviewers before me have already described, I was also a proud owner of a vintage A&F Fierce, which was simply a blast in performance. A holiday souvenir from California and what can I say with every wear you are the American Dream and the unforgettable beautiful holiday memories again a piece close.

Unfortunately, the stock was nearing the end of last year and so a new bottle was ordered. But already at the first spray came the sad disillusionment, the fragrance is a shadow of its former self. Slowly, the despair spread that in addition to holiday renunciation during a pandemic now also the fragrance head cinema goes into the lock down.

I had this bitter experience with it the second time after Gucci discontinued my first signature scent, Rush for Men. The fate is a lousy traitor... overpriced stale Resterampen out of desperation on dubious portals buy up?

This time, I wanted to fight for my fragrance. I searched for alternatives, googled scents "smells like Fierce" (perfumes / lamp oil / room fragrance / shower gel... what there is) bought dupes but with each new attempt I realized how my hopes for a Fierce vintage feeling slowly go towards 0, until I became aware of DUA last fall. Youtube videos from influencers and reviews of #Fierce convinced me, the holy grail comes how could it be otherwise from.... California. Like probably everyone, I cleared the final hurdle of "sorry currently out of stock" and placed the hopeful order on Black Friday.

Two weeks later on my birthday (that must be a good omen) the package arrived from the land of opportunity. The discussions about the bottle are for me a luxury problem...I have other worries...but what can I say the time and effort was worth it, already with the first spray was clear I have arrived --> back to Vintage Formulation.

I love it

To be honest, I've only been to an A&F store once in my life.... and that was in HH.
Before I was always only at Hollister. There I always thought, man, that smells here but great.
When I was then at A&F in the store, I thought that smells but GEIL here. They have but a great room spray. oO

That it is not a room spray, but their own "Parföng", I would never have thought. And even when I then still rummaged in the store for clothes and went past their scents ... nö, dran I have not smelled.
2016, in NYC again into the A&F Store purely.... and then... i tried my nose times at their testers.
BANG, THAT's it! THAT is the scent that was still clinging to the clothes you bought when you got back home.
Bought I have me the Fierce nevertheless not. Because my customs budget was already exhausted.
Only in 2019, I have it then finally bought. Since then, I am thrilled by the fragrance and it is hard for me to grab something else, because he fits iwie always!
But stop, I reach for something else...

Because after I bought the old vintage version (silver cap me red writing) at the famous "Bay"... i came besides, on the variant of DUA! #Fierce... THAT is perfect for me!
The whole room is flooded with it when you wear it. But in a positive sense. Here there is no "Boa, that's but too doll" from friends or colleagues. On the contrary, it hails compliments.

I love it.
#Fierce you horny mile....

Better than back then?

Past

I think there are few "fragrances" that have so crammed themselves into the noses of customers, especially in American culture. There are probably likewise few brands that has caused more social uproar with its fragrance than Abercrombie.
From the successful concept of the brand, the polarizing image, and the aggressive marketing for the time, you can think what you want. Likewise of the obviously dirty management, the class action suits at that time because of smell nuisance before the stores and ....

Fact is, the fragrance had (had) an image problem, it was too strong, too violent, too much "AF". In addition, there were new legal regulations, which, in addition to the complaints about the too strong scent, contributed to the fact that the fragrance was reformulated. Died was the fragrance for many, and after the storm of media attention, the brand as a whole never really recovered.

Today

DUA, a brand that is dedicated to copying other fragrances and can sometimes more sometimes less applause for it, has hit the nail on the points here and won with me a real customer. If you know the scent from back then, you'll get it back here 98% of the time. It smells like pure vintage 2002, a neat fresh, green, woody powerhouse that you can sense on me for >12h. In the head, heart and base the scents are incredibly similar. I won't describe the scent itself in detail, there are already various perfect descriptions for that. My feeling is that it's even more potent than the original from back then, but I never compared the two 1:1, because I don't currently have one. Anyway, people have told me several times a day after I've had two sprays on the back of my neck that I smell good and what it is. My impression is that many have the fragrance no longer so on the screen, so I have the actually revived in my circles.

Future

If you're so insane as to want the Fierce from back in the day back at all costs, give this one an unrestricted blind try. Tried a few copies. Too fresh, too synthetic, too scratchy, too watery. Alas.
If DUA has this one in stock again, I will definitely buy a few more bottles as a bunker!

The only option!

I agree with the majority of the previous speakers - DUA Fierce is the only relevant option when it comes to Fierce! The original has been constantly weak for years, the well-known clones like Montblanc Legend etc. also have their performance problems and don't really come close to the scent. I had already written the scent off for me until I came across the DUA version.

As a Fierce fan since the Silver Cap era, I can confirm that DUA captured the vibe and performance almost identically. For all who like Fierce, no matter if they know the old version or not, I give the immediate blindbuy recommendation!

I like to overlook the really ugly bottle-design and the flappy packaging in the result of this fragrance resurrection ;)

#Fierce #Burnt ?

Fierce as you know him or knew him. I have an Orginalversion from 2012 and it is really 1:1. projection, durability are TOP.

AABER, am I the only one who always smells such a burnt/chemical note with DUA?

This affects me personally very annoying, especially with such a clean fragrance.
