Dude this was so eye opening! Literally have owned 10 bottles of fierce since high school and it was my signature scent for so long. I had smelled VOTR in the past and dismissed it after one wearing but recently acquired it again and after seeing and watching this video my mind is blown... It does smell like fierce. It’s a bit more niche quality of course but the reasoning behind your claim makes a lot of sense. Nothing bad about it, VOTR and fierce are both loved fragrances in their own respective groupings. Amazing review as always. Keeping it 💯
Vodka on the Rocks does indeed smell more like the scent of the store. I'd read about the scented stores for a few years and on a trip to the A&F store in London which I visited purely to smell the store haha, I noticed it smelt sweeter than Fierce. I've been through 4 bottles of Fierce, sampled the vintage and own the Intense version. The store smelt different. I do agree that Vodka on the Rocks smells similar. Though, Fierce has a more metallic woody vibe. I find Vodka to be quite herbaceous and dry, reminds me a lot of Mediterranean herbs and warm air mixed with a boozy vibe. Almost like you're sat in a Greek restaurant, drinking a lemonade and vodka with ice. I don't get that at all from Fierce. I also find Vodka to be quite floral and feel like I can pick up rose in the dry down. I think the Kilian scent is similar in tone and mood but there are clear differences. Though - if you weren't into fragrances you'd think they both smelt similar. I don't agree with the idea of not buying the Kilian because of a similarity to Fierce. There's enough difference to me and the newer Fierce is very poor when it comes to performance. I get a good 4-6 hours with Vodka, on the clothes - a few days. So that works in it's favour. Also, after the initial opening of Fierce, I find it dries down into a synthetic wood and musk mess. I love the opening however. Vodka imo stays beautiful throughout, and even improves as it dries down. Good review though man, enjoyed it.
Got my Kilian samples the other day. It smells EXACTLY like Fierce. Lasts a little longer. There’s a sweet woody vibe in the base notes after a few hours.
Hmmm, that’s strange but interesting. I’m also a Fierce addict, but when I tried VOTR on my skin, I totally loved it but never thought about the scent being similar; let alone, the same as Fierce. Nevertheless, after listening to you, I’m going back to try VOTR again ‘coz I truly love the A&F store scent.
Its a tough call bro. Just remember this was the year Intoxicated was made too, which is a copy of Mugler A-Men, so there's a pattern here :) To each his own!
TroyD247Mall sure bro, I believe that and of course they are similar. Just meant that to me, they have easily detectable differences. But I have been wearing fierce since over 12 years so I guess I am quite used to it.
I saw a bottle of that store spray for sale one time on ebay,, i almost bought it but the label says like dangerous do not breath it or something. I was like WAAHAAT LOL, im good..
I got my bottle of love don't be shy extreme yesterday and all I can say is wow, she sent me 3 samples one was vodka on the rocks I wore it today and I was not impressed at all, I did not perform on my skin worth a flip. So I will not be buying that one.
This is one of my oldest videos. I had made my adjustments and here we are :) But this is still a more in depth channel so if you want super simple stuff this channel ain't it.

Video Request: Can you make a video comparing these two?
1. PDM Percival
2. Killian Vodka on the Rocks
Someday my friend I don’t have any of them with me anymore
I have both in samples, and while they do smell alike, Fierce has a smell that feels like it would give me a headache after too long.
Hey brother, LV Meteore or Killian VOTR?
Good video , a lot of details and very good very well broken down. Keep it up troy .... you are the best men !!!!👍👍👍
Appreciate it fam! Yes I could not let this issue go! lol
Great review troy!! Im now going to buy votr.. thank you
Awesome! There’s not much access to the 02 Fierce anyways enjoy!
I own both and I find them quite different. Even more so the smell in the abercrombie stores, really nothing like vodka on the rocks.
Its a tough call bro. Just remember this was the year Intoxicated was made too, which is a copy of Mugler A-Men, so there's a pattern here :) To each his own!
TroyD247Mall sure bro, I believe that and of course they are similar. Just meant that to me, they have easily detectable differences. But I have been wearing fierce since over 12 years so I guess I am quite used to it.
Chris Muller yeah and I’m sure there are nuances haha same!
Keep them coming!
Thanks bro! Wish I hadn't sold Percival would have been a Royal Rumble lol

Remember please when you have a chance review ASEEL !!!! I would like to buy it .
you have to show you’re face on camera and talk less to shorten the video with unnecessary words. it’ll help ur videos

Yo what’s up man. I just ordered a vintage fierce (non red letters). Any input ?
Unfortunately I don't own that, I think its the one with just the black and white abs pic?
TroyD247Mall ya. Supposedly before the destructive reformulation.
You should be fine I guess!
