Abercrombie and Fitch Authentic Women Eau de Parfum

Product Information

As White Hot traces through a succinct and wide-ranging survey of the brand’s evolution and sales tactics, Abercrombie & Fitch, a company hinged on a vision of “preppy cool”, kept those messages pretty overt. To quote former CEO Mike Jeffries, who oversaw the brand’s precipitous rise in the late 90s and 2000s, in a now infamous interview from 2006: “We go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.”

Forget the A&F name and any preconceived notion. This is a niche-y-smelling fragrance. I can already hear my friends and family complimenting it, ha-ha. It's got something special going on. Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS. This is not Aventus. It’s too citrus forward to be Aventus. There is no hint of smokiness or even the faintest bit of woods. If anything this resembles Jimmy Choo Man Ice which, in turn, smells like Dior Homme Cologne. It’s pleasant. It’s inoffensive. It works well on a mildly warm day. Is it original? No, of course not, but we can’t always be hyper critical of one brand copying another, especially when even the most prestigious niche houses are guilty of the same thing.i will start by saying that this is my favourite scent of all the fragrances I have smelt. This smells soooo good. It really saddens me that I am not writing positive review on my favourite smelling fragrance. okay so what's wrong? According to Frank Voelkl, the Master Perfumer who created this fragrance, it was inspired by the "luminosity of a summer morning" and the energy it brings for new perspectives. The fragrance itself is described as a "revigorating" scent with bold amber accents, and a mix of cardamom and geranium for added depth. The fève tonka note gives the fragrance an "infinite richness". Taking a more objective look at Abercrombie offered the opportunity to examine “abstract forces that impact us in life, things like beauty standards or structural racism”, and peek behind the curtain to see “exactly how this was a top-down system that relied on existing biases”. The 88-minute film offers its fair share of nostalgia bait – the opening sequence plays alongside Lit’s My Own Worst Enemy, and the signature scent is subject to plenty of good-natured ribbing – but focuses on taking scalpel to the company’s finely tuned, if now stale, image. “We wanted to focus on the everyday people who were affected by this company,” said Klayman.

This fragrance is a fougère amber scent that is magnetic and vibrant, designed to encourage individuals to show their authentic selves to the world. The inspiration behind the AUTHENTIC SELF perfume line is to empower people to be confident in their uniqueness and express it boldly. Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). This doesn't smell like it but it somehow reminds me a bit of CH Men Prive, which I used to own, but less sweet and less rich. Not a heavy scent at all. It's quite light. It also reminds me a lot of Power of Seduction Urban, which I currently own. Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. Quite a decent if forgettable homage to Aventus. A good choice for a freshie without spending too much. You won't love it, you won't hate it, it's one of those.I usually prefer very sweet fragrances, but for this one having just a touch of sweetness, it works for me. Whatever sweetness it has is hidden underneath everything and gives a nice balance, so I'm not left craving more sweetness like some other fragrances. By the way, I've tried to select 'This perfume reminds me of...' Creed Aventus' but it doesn't save or update the count but it will let me select it reminds me of Aventus 'cologne'? Any ideas why?
