Authentic Moment Man Abercrombie & Fitch for men

For the fans of Boss Bottled, and i am, maybe 90% similar but more sweeter in my nose. Good projection and sillage. 8/10

Smells like slightly dirtier version of Boss Bottle, its the Cypress and Neroli. Boss Bottle DNA is unmistakable here from start to finish. Its a flanker.

Atomiser is bad but the performance isn't! Spray twice in the same spot and thank me later.

Soft, simple and some complexity to it. I love the magnetic cap on the bottle. Very low projection. I prefer colognes that only take couple sprays, not multiple. More a soft intimacy cologne. Can be unisex. Wood smell, synthetic, powdery, soft/warm spicy and dry. Very nice fragrance, low projection and safe in crowds. It matures with the dry down and brings out more refinement.

Updated 4/2
It performs better with 2 hour refreshen-up spray. The dry down mixed with fresh touch makes it last throughout the day and heightens the tones.
Otherwise it’s a softer fragrance.

It's not overly sweet, which I don't mean as a negative (it could be a disappointment to those who enjoy sweetness in their fragrances), even if it could be just a bit stronger than what it currently is. That makes this a great casual wear in my opinion. It's a very soft scent. Good longevity and it's very nice for daytime use, and I see myself wearing this during Spring and Fall. The only negative I currently have is that the atomizer could be better. Overall, the fragrance is not bad at all!

This doesn't smell like it but it somehow reminds me a bit of CH Men Prive, which I used to own, but less sweet and less rich. Not a heavy scent at all. It's quite light. It also reminds me a lot of Power of Seduction Urban, which I currently own.

Juice is green in color, but smells brown to me. This has a lot going on, which I like. It smells 3D if you know what I mean. Not a flat fragrance at all that stays in one olfactory dimension. Apple and cinnamon are noticeable, not in a gourmand way, but in a nice potpourri way. The neroli is buried as support. Doesn't stick out.

Wow, it's so well-blended and sexy, and keeps evolving with time. Surprising blind buy. Reading reviews here couldn't have prepared me for it. I also get some booziness in the opening, but it goes away after a few minutes once the other notes start blooming.

I usually prefer very sweet fragrances, but for this one having just a touch of sweetness, it works for me. Whatever sweetness it has is hidden underneath everything and gives a nice balance, so I'm not left craving more sweetness like some other fragrances.

Sandalwood starts appearing after ten minutes and has a nice coolness to it. Amberwood and vanilla kick up the sweetness a notch. NOW IT'S SWEET.

Dang, if you blind buy it, give it time. Initial spray doesn't say a lot, but it gets better every minute. Like zoechiara0752 below, I can also perceive a leather nuance in it. It's like a new jacket or shoe smell; cool and sharp, not warm and thick.

Forget the A&F name and any preconceived notion. This is a niche-y-smelling fragrance. I can already hear my friends and family complimenting it, ha-ha. It's got something special going on.

Any cons? The sprayer is weaksauce. It sucks!

Super aromatic , gentleman and deep !

Love at first sniff, to me this is close to a perfect fragrance. 9.9/10.

Only negative aspect I can create with this is that it isn’t a completely groundbreaking concept, then again how many frags are..

A refined artwork. Actually much better executed than the Boss Bottles and all the apple/cinnamon pioneers came before it.

Strong projection and great performance for a fresher type fragrance.

Realmente una muy grata sorpresa, me compré esta fragancia solo porque estaba en oferta y me gustó su presentación, en cuanto a la botella me encanta!, el color del producto es verde musgo lo que combina muy bien con el ciprés que impregna la salida del aroma, una vez secado solo parece mejorar para dar paso a un aroma almizclado - atalcado, donde la madera y un poco menos la vainilla juegan un rol sinérgico, proyecta prudentemente lo que lo hace usable e íntimo, como dicen los comentarios es una fragancia de jefe, la longevidad es de 4 a 5 horas en piel, en ropa un poco mas, por el precio está bien
Si esta casa sigue con estos aromas tendrán un lugar asegurado en casas comerciales.
Espectacular para regalo a un hombre de 25-35 años que le guste lo amaderado.

Compra recomendada!

Lo único malo es el atomizador, a 30 cm de distancia el diámetro no supera los 10 cm, por lo que se requieren el doble de atomizaciones que un perfume con un atomizador decente.

Beautiful fragrance but smells 90% similar to boss bottled....

Bought for my partner and I can never get enough! It’s so delicious and sexy yet versatile. It has a creamy cosy warmth to it, sweeter than most men’s fragrances but then again I like them that way! Whilst not listed in the notes, I can smell leather but I’m quite the novice so perhaps it’s something else but whatever it is it lends the fragrance a nice edge that makes its feel more complex and sophisticated. Here in NZ you can buy 30ml for $29 which I find to be an absolute bargain and makes it the perfect every day signature. In summary, warm, attractive, comforting, delicious💗 One of my favourite scents for men!

@StasonF yeah, depending on the lighting it will look green or more brown like the pictures

I bought it today, it is light green, everywhere in the pictures there is a different color, is it supposed to be like that?

Impressive. Very nice.

Authentic Moment is a truly remarkable fragrance that strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and allure. The harmonious blend of its notes creates a scent that is simply irresistible and versatile enough for both day and night wear.

The enchanting combination of sweet and creamy elements in Authentic Moment is undoubtedly one of its most captivating features. The fragrance manages to evoke an air of elegance and charm, ensuring that it never fails to draw compliments and curious inquiries wherever it is worn.

A subtle hint of spice adds an intriguing layer of depth to Authentic Moment, making it stand out among other fragrances in its class.

I wholeheartedly recommend Authentic Moment as a top-tier fragrance that deserves a place in every collection. Its versatility and unique character make it an essential addition to any scent arsenal, and it is most certainly backup bottle worthy.

9/10

What's up with Dunhill and A&F releasing their version of Boss Bottled?

It's about time Fragrantica added this scent.

It's an absolute peach of a fragrance and easily my favourite buy of 2022. A delightful Autumn/Winter/night time scent, spicy and sweet yet woody and cinnamony, it fits in that earthy/sweet bracket that Oud Wood and Spicebomb dominate.

Cheap as chips too (for now.) I was flabbergasted how good this is after never being impressed with an A&F scent before, but it was on sale and a brand new release so I took a gamble and I'm really glad I did. I wore it all over Christmas as it just has that warming, comforting scent to it and it lasts all day long.

I'm usually wrong, but I can see this getting some real hype if it gets discontinued quickly, I think people are really missing a gem here. Don't be put off by the original Aventus clone of which this is a flanker, this is absolutely nothing like it at all.
