[QUOTE="Ziltoid, post: 219007, member: 3765"] If you're not familiar, A&F's demographic in the US largely consists of trendy/preppy highschool and college aged kids with parental money to burn (in fairness this could obviously be a good or bad image to associate with, depending on the circle of friends/women you run in), and "mall companies" such as A&F are not generally renowned for their output of quality fragrances; to the contrary, they're kind of the lowest common denominator of designer fragrances. Fierce, though, has stayed on the shelves for longer than most mall company fragrances manage, and it has a pretty well known and respected perfumier behind it, actually the same guy who made Burberry London, Polo Blue, and a couple of things for Theirry Mugler and Tom Ford. It is perceived as a bit juvenile and proclaimed cologne "aficionados" might turn their nose up at you for wearing it, and it does also carries a rep for being a bit overplayed; again though, like 1 Million, I've actually never noticed another guy around where I live wearing it, so take that as you will. I actually happen to think it's firm association with the younger crowd having scared away most guys from wearing it is a good thing... Ultimately means fewer guys wearing the same shit as me. ;P What reactions have you gotten with it from Brazilian women? Yeah, no way in hell I'd blind buy something this expensive and polarizing. Since it seems to be impossible to find a store that carries this juice around where I live, let alone a store that has a tester bottle, I've been thinking about just biding my time and saving up for the masculine sampler they offer.
