Abercrombie & Fitch Spice
Abercrombie & Fitch

Hi I have this fragrance. It is a simple but STRONG fragrance, more of a parfum concentration than an Aftershave. The bottle I have is 2 fluid ounces or 59 ml with about 90% of the juice still in the bottle. My bottle is at least 20 yrs old by now and probably more like 30 yrs old. The batch code is 2962CA and it is "Made in the USA" by Gryphon Development L.P., New York, NY 10021. I would love to obtain more of this scent since it reminds me of a bygone era! It smells very masculine. It is not a 'fresh' fragrance, but more spicey and leathery and not sure what else is in it, but what ever it is it lasts a long time and the projection is very strong as well, I can't imagine using this as an after shave, it needs to applied in small doses!! It doesn't remind me of any other fragrance in my collection, it is very unique and interesting!!

I think the base has strong patchouli and sandalwood (I have yet to find a note pyramid for this fragrance). Clearly, there are spices, but they are not the focus of this fragrance. There might be a bit of leather and moss too. It's very "masculine,"' unlike a fragrance such as JHL. There is little sweetness here, nor floral notes. There's also no animalic note. This is uncompromising and straightforward, though as you might expect, somewhat simple. Don't expect much note seperation, but it does have an edge and it is not "synthetic." Longevity is excellent and projection/"sillage" is at least very good. If this is what you seek, I don't know why you wouldn't be satisfied. I think the comparison to Escada Pour Homme is reasonable, as there certainly are some clear similarities.

Believe it or not, to me this smelled very much like Escada pour homme which can still be found today. Escada being a better fragrance, IMO.

I loved this scent and was upset when it was discontinued. It was a warm spicy scent that reminded me of something I smelled as a kid. I know there is a cologne out there that is similar but I have yet to find it.If anybody has any suggestions please post a response here.
