A silver plate displaying the brand and fragrance names adorns the side of the bottle which is completed by a striated silver cap.

Review: So many compliments - Such a fresh, refreshing scent in this fragrance. I've received a lot of compliments on this fragrance and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a more affordable high-end scent. Everything from the performance to the color of the bottle is great.
Review: Summertime Melon scent - This one stays in my summer and spring rotation. Its a fresh melon scent with a little bit of sweetness that rounds it off nicely. This is a crowd pleaser and I really have gotten many compliments wearing this one. Lots of people have never even heard of this and only know fierce when it comes to A&F colognes. This one is sub 40 dollars and smells the same quality as any higher end designer. It smells completely different than any other summer fragrances I own, which I really like to be able to switch it completely up sometimes. This one is for sure blind buy safe and I really cant think of any negatives with this one Scent 9/10 Longevity 8/10 Atomizer 9/10 Best use case: Spring and Summer

This cologne is a bang for your buck, smells very unique, but AMAZING! The only downside is that it doesn’t last that long. I would say it lasts about 3-4 hours. But I would defenitly re purchase tho. In my opinion this is 100% better than fierce, defenilty worth a blind buy 👌
