Guys, does your A&F spray way too much of that cologne? My local A&F, well basically it smells so bad now and just overran with that smell to where I simply just can't even walk into the store anymore. Its so bad that I can taste it 5 feet away from the front entrance...

LOL I think you are confusing it with Hollister, they really need to spray that thing like every hour because its crazy how you can smell it 2 stores down!

However I think you can smell it more than A&F is because it has a way stronger scent.

hollister has automatic spraying machines. We no do not spritz every half hour. And yes my A&F is the exact same way.

At the anf in new york, the flagship, you can smell fierce 2 blocks down.

I know one time I walked into the mall and I could smell and A&F as soon as I walked in. I was on the 3rd floor and A&F is on the second floor

Isn't it beautiful

not all the stores do.. the one i work at now, 307 does not..

i think its just the more high volume stores

I don't like that fierce can be smelled through the entire JC penny wing on both floors. I don't mind it in the store but I don't really want to smell it anywhere outside of the store.

My store is right next to Bath & Body Works so when you walk by your nose & senses like freak out. Haha, it is the weirdest feeling...

Fierce smells amazing though!

It really doesn't. The only times I like the smell is just before they re-spray the store and the scent is pretty faded so it's not overpowering, and the first time I wash something recently purchased; the remaining note stuck in the fabric smells amazing... like a forest or something.

MJ is doing his part to make the streets of NYC smell better. in reality though, it's annoying when the scent is too far from the store in the mall, but i welcome it in NYC given the oft other smell alternatives there are there.

that remaining note is amazing...it's usually best and strongest when an item has been sprayed 10,000x by being in the store for a long time and it's just oozing with fierce (not the high note, but the lowest note like you said)

yeah i have to agree the smell can be somwhat over-baring at times. like today, i was in there for not even 10 minutes and i was getting sick of it already and before i walked out my eyes started to tear up.

we are a tier 3. idk? we got them about 2 months ago.

Uhm almost like no stores have those and you're still supposed to spritz where the machines don't spray. Also new stores are not built with those. FYI

The smell hits me for about a second and then I don't notice a thing.

Same.

Ehhh, I'm gonna have to disagree. It smells really synthetic and manufactured, and is flat, only one note. No drydown, or different notes.

Sure I thought it was great at one time too, but then it just got annoying, didn't know why until I realized it doesn't change.

Agree. It's awful. I'm just glad that my nearest Hco is relatively new and those smells have yet to sink into the walls like cigarette smoke. Can't say the same though for my A&F.

Fierce will always make the panties drop. Its just how it is. Deal with it.
