Authentic Woman Abercrombie & Fitch for women

The suggestions above are all over the show and while I do get a bit of DG LB in the aquatic sense, its not as citrusy due to that pear top note but I can def see the vision. I have a pear inc tester and I'd say that's much closer. This opens fruity with that same pear but doesn't settle as musky on the dry down.

Such an easy everyday wear for the office, gym, errands etc. Summer/Spring. Def daytime. Can't wait to see what else these guys have.

When will Authentic Moment be added to the database?

This fragrance is so insanely strong, albeit in a slightly synthetic way. It's perfectly nice and a great budget option. I can't believe the longevity I get off this especially when compared to some of my $300 plus scents.

Too synthetic for my taste, but the dry down is a little bit better :)

I tried Lanvin Eclat d’Arpège (it is so popular here in the tropical country I live in) and I thought its not worth it. It's pleasant but I find it too common! I found out about A&F Authentic here in Fragrantica. The reviews convinced me to blind buy this. Oh wow. I get why it is being compared to Lanvin and DG Light Blue. It has to be the musky florals of Lanvin and the citrus woody notes of Light Blue!

Two sprays on each side of my top and I can smell it the whole day on me. Leaves a trail for the first 2-3 hours. Also, it turns more soapy than fruity floral during cold weather. On a sunny day, the sweet juicy pears and nectarine are bursting. I didn't detect any sourness nor bitterness probably because of the white florals and woody notes. If I only knew this would be great on me, I would have bought the 100ml bottle. Plus, I like the magnetic cap!

This is a great scent option for when you want to leave a good impression in a conservative environment. This is gentle enough for closed, office spaces and feminine for an outdoor lunch dates. I will repurchase (hopefully for a discounted price! LOL) however I can't find them in my local stores anymore.

Fairly synthetic on first application, but quickly settles into a very juicy, lovely pear. A light perfume for summer or spring.

Bought this last year and it was an instant love. It's such a cheerful, uplifting smell. Fruity floral and sweet without being cloying. It's light but projects a lot in the first hour. But for me, after one hour, it's just..gone. I wish it had more longevity! I now have 70% of the juice left and if it wasn't something my dad bought for me, I would have just sold it off. 😔

I adore this. I just hoped it lasted longer

I totally get the comparison to Light Blue.
This very much recalls it as well as other scents in that vein that have the fruity/woody thing going on - a genre that I generally love for everyday scents.
My problem is that there is one note that ruins it for me. I don't know what it is because I have no issue with any of the notes listed in the pyramid: they all work for me in other fragrances.
This note is a harsh, persistent piercing note with an effect similar to that of the Cetalox in fragrances such as Juliette Has a Gun's Not A Perfume.
It is a note that makes a fragrance unwearable for me because it make me almost physically uncomfortable. It's very hard to describe.
I am surprised because the pyramid gives no indication of its presence in this scent.
I gave the small spray bottle that I had to my DD. On her I can still smell the problematic note, but since it is not on me I can deal with it.

Same thing for me like @bajasen1. Poor longevity and dissapointing...

After a testing sample this is my first impression.
Nice scent for 20 minutes some fruits with flowers mix. Just later it all dissapears. Well the mens version is great, sadly for women is it.

This scent is just pure magic. It's just making me smile !!! The scent is sweet and gives a great character to the owner. I'm really happy when i sniff it !
I bought it for my mother as a gift ! I know she will love it ! Can't wait to give it to her !!!

Update: I checked to compare it with light blue, and although they are similar, they are a bit different from how I initially remembered light blue, was it reformulated in the past 10 years?

Light blue is a more citrusy fresh one, and they are not interchangable. But its weird how much they remind me of eachother. Its like light blue is the lighter spring/summer jeans, and authentic is the slightly thicker jeans for fall/winter. But both of them are jeans, and I'd say both are similar fragrances. Or alternatively the beach in s/s vs the beach in f/w, both are still the same beach, but the vibe is different. If you like light blue, this would be a safe buy.

This is my second sample of this fragrance ( I do not have a full bottle). Its a subtle scent for sure. I am reminded of light blue (DG), but I don't get as much salt-been a while since I smelled that one, but I just rebought it, when I have it in I'll add a remark if it turns out to not be the same). Judging from my memory, they are so similar that if you have one, you do not need the other, but this fragrance is more subtle, and more suited for winter. Without looking at the descriptions, I would say it smelled like white musk, and very suble driftwood (the dried out one you find on the beach in winter), but there is a slight hint of something sweet to it. A less casual light blue?

Anyways, on its own its a nice everyday scent. Some people might find it basic, but if you are not big on florals or sweet scents, but don't want a scent that is too fresh smelling either, this is a good every day scent. Can't imagine anyone being offended by it, but it won't turn any heads either. I understand why its called authentic. Its not screechy, or asking for attention, its just a simple, nice scent, that, if it matches you, is something you'll wear just for yourself.

I might actually buy a bottle eventually, I like how it does not turn powdery on my skin

Oh, this fragrance is absolutely stunning.

I tend to reach for more deep, sensual, heavier perfumes but this one is soooo so nice.

It smells luxurious and elegant and feminine and gentle and... Just amazing :)

It is great for every occasion and suitable for everyday use as well.

And I love magnetic caps on bottles :)

Edit:

Definitely go try this one if you like subtle fruity/woody/flowery/elegant perfumes. I think this might be signature worthy if I am considering an affordable price too!

Sweet flag (Acorus calamus) + freshness of washing powder.

If you love the perfume of sweet flag (rhizomes and leaves) it will be excellent for you.

Well, I have a few samples of this one to try, so I decided to test this one today.
Beautiful scent on the skin at the begining, I was totally obsessed and could not stop smelling this on my wrists...
And then... kaboom... soapy smell. All over the place. I can only smell soap after that, one hour, maybe.
Damn...

Update:
It’s a cold, rainy day and I decided to use this beauty again.
Oh joy... this time I didn’t get any generic soap scent after one hour of use!
The smell, the gorgeous smell stayed with me all day, and now I have to buy a big bottle, because this is so beautiful and conforting that I don’t ever wanna be without this!

I knew it, fruits and woods!

Gorgeous strong first impression, after few hours turn generic fruit.
Nice though., go try it, dont mind me, I'm just not after that type of scent currently
♡

This is so lovely and fruity and floral.. A beautiful fragrance that lingers around you all day. The peach and pear really is the stars of this fragrance... Just really feminine and great for the daytime and office wear. Another great thing is the low price point.. I was really surprised as the bottle is stunning and the juice oh so lovely ❤️👌😘

I love this one, but it unfortunately doesn't stay on my skin, it lasts only av few minutes, then I have to sniff my wrist to smell something, really dissapointing! Yesterday I tried to spray like 6-7 different places, but nope... Possibly mismatch with my skin or something, this could have been a keeper, if it'll only last a bit longer...

Omg...this is sooooooo good! Been loving it. It smells like when you enter an airport and you smell everybody's perfumes mixed together.

This is definitely a love for me. I think it can be worn year round. 😍😍😍

This looks like it would be pretty.
