Woods

Abercrombie & Fitch Woods is a clean, aromatic Fougere with a strong nostalgic appeal, evoking memories of 1990s barbershop and youth. It opens with a crisp citrus note that quickly fades into a prominent lavender and woody foundation, maintaining a refreshing, slightly soapy masculinity. The scent presents a balanced blend of spiciness and musk, with vetiver adding depth in the dry down. Its performance is moderate—longevity can be inconsistent, with some users experiencing fading after 4 hours, though others report lasting upwards of 8 hours, particularly when applied directly to fabric. The sillage is low to moderate, making it suitable for daytime wear without overwhelming others. It bears a distinct resemblance to Drakkar Noir and Bowling Green by Geoffrey Beene, but with firmer citrus and a fresher, more modern edge. Users describe it as classic, gendered masculine, easy to wear, and powerful in its emotional significance, regardless of modern perception.
