Abercrombie & Fitch’s website states the notes are
“The perfect combination of floral with a bit of edge, the essences of peach, jasmine and warm sandalwood come together seamlessly.”
Not only do the notes on Fragrantica not match the description, but this has no
Smell of grapefruit, orange of any kind. I love this perfume and it is definitely not citrusy.
The peach plays a role in the background, but I don’t even consider this a fruity floral at all.

A friend wore this and it was DIVINE! I fell in love with it.
I bought some and sadly it just wasn’t the same on me. Not bad, just not clean and fresh on me. It was heavier and sweeter. I don’t like sweet perfumes.

Bought this after smelling it on a friend. It smelled so soft and pretty on her. It was the taller style bottle which apparently is no longer available but I found it on amazon. It’s nothing like what I smelled on my friend. I get a generic watery, perfumes smell. Absolutely no vanilla or powder. Most of the descriptions I am reading here describe what it smelled like on my friend. Wondering if there was a reformulation even before the shorter bottle.

Its so distinct, I can always tell when someone is wearing it!! Unfortunately I don’t like it. It smells just like crayons. Crayons and sweet vanilla musk. Its a little cloying and feels very dressy.

Abercrombie&Fitch has many stereotypes and it’s assumptions, but the perfume 8 is truly a gem and one of my favorite fragrances of all time. Powdery, warm, spicy and a bit sweet. Very sexy casual, how Abercrombie like. Like a pair of jeans that fit just right and a T-shirt. The girl next door type of sexy.8 is just that. There’s no other fragrance like this, unfortunately I cant find any dupes. I hope Abercrombie&Fitch never discontinues this!!!

Hands down the best winter perfume out there. It’s kind of zesty–I smell soap and oranges with a beautiful vanilla, powdery dry-down. Plus it has surprisingly good staying power.

Where did Fragrantica get those notes from?!?!?? The official Abercrombie site says : GINGER AND RICH PEACH NECTAR COMBINE WITH SUBTLE HINTS OF JASMINE PETAL.

This has gotta be one of my best blind perfumes, as i caved in after reading so many rave reviews, as well as heeding recommendations from friends. Love the fact that it has vanilla, which has to be my favorite note in any perfume. As a fan of sweet scents, i have to say that this falls in line with my scent preferences, and the sillage is at the right level, it is not too light nor too heavy. Makes a perfect gift <3

I just got this perfume and I love it! Absolutely love the spicy-vanilla smell. It smells… POWERFUL. That’s how I describe it. It’s more of a winter scent 🙂

I used to wear this scent all the time when I worked at Abercrombie (switched between this and Fierce). I was young at the time and didn’t know too much about fragrance notes. All I knew is that it smelled like sophisticated Fruit Loops and crayons if that makes sense,lol. Despite not being the target age for Abercrombie anymore, I still wear this scent because of nostalgia and because it’s just so pleasant smelling overall. I always receive compliments on it. It’s a nice blend of vanilla, musk,and fruity notes. No, it’s not one of those overtly sweet, teeny bopper fragrances. This perfume surpasses the test of time 😉

This is my favorite of all time. I just love it. It evokes great memories and smells fantastic. I got compliments all the time.
Update: does anyone know if the new bottle smells different than the original?

was squeezing in between 2 people in line at a bar on the weekend and had to ask the 1 girl what she was wearing. It was this! She let me smell her shirt twice. Intoxicating sexy fragrance!! mmmm

Love this fragrance! Its great for summer or winter. Warm and sweet. Still very fresh as well. Takes me to a happy place. A great casual fragrance.

This one is an oldie but a goodie for me. I used to be obsessed with this perfume in college. It just smells so yummy, sweet but also fresh and clean and bit powdery. It has crazy sillage, I remember my friend used to wear it, and you could smell her as soon as she entered the room (in a good way!). I still have a bit left, and wear it occasionally. Nothing really reminds me of this perfume, it’s quite unique smelling and really pretty. The bourbon vanilla is a really interesing note.
Oh, and I read somewhere that Taylor Swift used to love this. Kinda funny. 🙂
Vestnik – :
PERFECT winter scent. the bourbon vanilla is such a unique note and it’s one of the most noticeable, yet inoffensive fragrances that can really cut through the cold air. one of the best sillage that i’ve yet to come across in a fragrance. my friend wore this and i could smell it on her as soon as she entered the room. it smells sort of like the clothing store except with vanilla 😛

The bourbon vanilla is such an unsual scent at first spray to my nostrils. Almost off-putting since I’m not used to it. The dry down is indeed very sexy, though! I really like it.

This is a nice Winter fragrance, however I much prefer Perfume 41 to this. The smell of this perfume is a little too, I don’t know, perfume-y I guess? It just all together can be a little meh for me personally..

This is the perfect fragrance when the air turns cold…
It goes on sweet and you can smell the bourbon vanilla right away. The sweet creaminess stays with you the whole time and the barest hint of fruit reveals itself after the perfume dries a little. As it fades away, it leaves only the memory of vanilla and the sweetness of amber.
This perfume has pretty amazing staying power on me…I can easily still smell it the next morning.
It’s *almost* cloying at first, but not quite, and that goes away pretty quickly. This smells absolutely divine worn under a comfy sweater, peeled off to reveal the delicious smell. This is one of my favorite winter fragrances ever!
pav.polumoskvin – :
Just one of my FAVORITE perfumes! I think this is the best A&F perfume though….it smells so good and I got so many compliments when I had it. I Definitely have to get another one!
galtran – :
My favorite. My friends always tell me I smell “orgasmic” lol
ars1155 – :
It’s so strange. I like sweet citrusy smelling perfumes but this one is just OKAY. Something in this perfume is a little off–it almost gave me a headache.
It smelled light fresh airly cool & girly but not womenly. Hence it’s no where close to being sexy. Would be great for young teen girls.
Also it would have made a very sophisticated bathroom cleaner scent. Short live for its price. I mailed it off to my sister oversea :o)

I have seen this described on other review sites as smelling like ”Fruit Loops” cereal. I have to agree – it smells like Fruit Loops breakfast cereal sprayed with DG Light Blue (gross!). I would not go out of my way to purchase this fragrance again. It’s very expensive for what it is and it only lasts about one hour on the skin. You can purchase a higher quality designer fragrance at the department store for less cost per ounce. Don’t pay for the Abercrombie name.

i have this perfume and abselutely love it! and so does everyone else! i would recommend this for the people who like the smell of abercrombie and fitch 🙂

It was an impulse buy that I regret. I liked it in the store. It smelled so feminine and light. Now I regret it. It’s a better room spray…maybe. It’s too powdery and sweet for me now.
