Edition One

Notes & Nuances

Edition One kicks off with a bright, green blackberry leaf note, but the pepper's amped up compared to A&F Fierce (Women). It's less fruity-sweet initially, more sharp. The floral heart of peony and magnolia comes through quickly. I get a bit of violet powder too, making it feel a little more mature than the original. The driftwood and sandalwood base provides a clean, musky drydown. It’s about 91% similar to Fierce (Women). Edition One is missing some of the smoother, aquatic elements of the original, trading them for a slightly sharper, more synthetic feel.

Wear time & Sillage

This isn’t a beast mode fragrance. Expect around 5-6 hours of wear, with moderate projection for the first hour or two. After that, it settles closer to the skin. A good option for close encounters, not filling a room. If you love Fierce (Women) and want the *exact* same experience, cough up the cash. But if you're happy with "close enough" for everyday wear, especially at the gym or running errands, this does the trick. it’s a worthy daily driver.
