Thank you for watching my final video of seaon 2.5! *What does that mean?* Essentially *season 1* (bts) was figuring out how to create content, *2*, refining it. *2.5* brings an elevated level of production since upgrading to my new system while no longer have to run everything to a bare minimum and rush content since my editing has become more efficient. 2.5 will continue with fragrance "B-sides" of brands + new releases. *Season 3* set for 2025 is already in the planning and will focus on best sellers.

Great video. Thank you. I recently purchased Alexandria fragrances “Ferocity”… it reportedly smells very close to the original Fierce. It’s a lovely and highly complimented fragrance.
I bought this one in the largest size when it came out. Never smelled like the stores in the mall, is very strong, only did one spray when I wore it. Still have it and now it’s a classic apparently. It was $350 for 200ML. Sadly I lost part of my sense of smell from covid. Just sprayed it, smells like leather…
Wow that’s incredible, I’d love to know really how different it is from the current batches. Apparently there are some clones of the original formulation but I’ve never been impressed by them. Really just want them to release the original DNA again.
Thanks so much for watching! 🙂 Not sure if you’re in Australia but I got this one from a retailer called “Scents” (not sponsored) but it wasn’t cheap. My second bottle was from an authorised online store certified by A&F called “Feeling Sexy” (not sponsored) and pretty much paid the same price but for 200ml. As for everything else I get I really just shop around, wait for sales, but in Australia to be honest it’s cheaper to actually import, especially with brands like Xerjoff. Cheaper with shipping from their online store than it is to buy it 10 minutes down the road. Only downside is the month long shipping!
@@FragranceFiend I forget their channel name but a guy told me the new clear bottle was the same fragrances just a different bottle and I was about to buy it but then seen your video, I ended up ordering 100ml from some website called just perfume or something for 185, hopefully it's all legit
@@VeganChiefWarrior It should be legit but as for being a similar scent it's quite unlikely as it has undergone a few reformulations, regardless i hope you like it! The DNA is incredible and hopefully your bottle is as close as possible to the fierce we all know and love 😁 You're the first to know but i have a review of the flanker "Fierce Confidence" scheduled to be released later this month!
@@FragranceFiend fingers crossed ay, yea it's nice I'm really fussy and don't really love any fragrances and I've sampled the most talked about ones but it's one of the few Ive decided to add to my small collection, nice im interested in the flankers i may order the fierce sample pack one day soon off there website myself 👍
Same story as me! Fierce is one of the main 3 that propelled my passion for fragrance and really made me appreciate it on a whole new level. Happy collecting! 😇
Fierce, the absolute sexual seduction of generations and generations to come. Even through what you get the last decade isn't the powerhouse it once was for a decade - it remains 'smells like sex' for many women. If you want the true vintage one DUA offers the re-release of the original first release 2000 vintage Fierce in Extrait de Parfum concentration. Percival is a wonderful niche variant of Fierce, though it doesn't have same the oceanic fir musky freshness in the opening and early dry down but is somewhat different I assume because of the sweet mandarin and cinnamon in Percival but it is very much inspired by Fierce. You can also layer Fierce with Molecule 01 (Iso E Super) or with any other fragrance you enjoy.
Wow brilliant breakdown! Thanks for the recommendation I’ll have to check the DUA dupe out!. Ooo I always layer an ISO with my freshies. I find eccentric molecules ones to work better than other general molecular based fragrances.
@@FragranceFiend Ohh I gotcha bro😌 its called #Fierce, they also have #FierceAttar which is even an intensified remake of their already intense vintage Fierce. They actually have bunch of collap Fierces mixed with different fragrances as well. Yeah, they are bunch of molecular fragrances but I think Escentric has best quality and relaibility. Sometimes I layer Fierce with Sauvage, Y EdP, Y EdT and Legend EdP as well.
Y EDP was my gym scent for a while after I started running low on my original Fierce 👌🏻 I was going to pick up Molecule 01 but recently been using and loving Anothet 13 by Le labo, it’s become one of my most complimented scents standalone let alone its benefits for layering! I’ve looked into DUA but like most things, they’re not that easy getting into Australia.
Oh btw, the reason the cap doesnt click on yours may have something to do with how the metal cap on mine clicks into the thin glass so hard that i couldnt beleive it didnt shatter the bottle, gotta be so careful lol i think mine may be the formulation before yours but it could be the other way actually
Oh wow interesting to know thanks for that! I just got my hands on Fierce Confidence and I believe that one does click after applying a bit of force. Cheers for watching! 😄
@@OnAeeir definitely let yourself be the judge of it too! if you like it deffs go for it, it may not be what it once was but i wouldn't say there's anything too subjectively wrong with it. it is a pretty good discount though! 😁
@@FragranceFiend i dont live that close to a chemist warehouse so i was gonna have to blind buy it online but if it doesnt even really smell like fierce anymore then idk

It’s been a good season and great watching you go from strength to strength, especially as you move towards 500 subs 🙌

Can't go wrong with Fierce/Percival! Good choice!
Always a classic in my eyes! 👀

Thanks heaps, I really appreciate it. + I’ll have to check that one out 😄

Sorry about the loss of your sense of smell, Hope it fully recovers again one day!
Where can I buy legit bottles like yours man, so glad I seen this video

Yo leave that little power reading up for a bitlonger at the end bro thats a sick feature
I appreciate your video, but I do find it a bit of an inconvenience due to me being in the US and expecting that you had a US "formulation"

so the new clear bottle just isnt worth it in your opinion?
Not at all unfortunately, completely different DNA altogether. They should just rename it at this point too.
@@FragranceFiend oh ok thanks was thinking of getting it as its on sale at cw but i guess ill just skip it cheers
