Pick by pick

Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce (2002) is described as fresh citrus spritz on pine, green and musky, with lemon and fir resin up top and oakmoss, Brazilian rosewood and musk underneath. On Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct (Eau de Toilette, 2016), expect cool gin-tonic spritz with musky suede; it starts with melon and tonic water and settles on musk, suede and amber. Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct Extreme (Eau de Parfum, 2018) reads as sparkling citrus gin, violet and pepper, opening on kiwano and gin tonic and drying down to amber and suede.
