i really dont know where this would go, but does anyone know what the smell is when you walk into an abercrombie and fitch store? i think its the men`s cologne, but then i honestly do not know. Sometimes i think that when the clothes are shipped they are made to smell that way. Does anyone else wonder the same thing? Does anyone else know what the smell is?!

yea, stores have their own special smell, almost no matter where you go. you can ask the people who work there, but it would be kinda weird for them i love hollister's smell.

yeah, it's fierce by abercrombie, the men's cologne. if you buy a bottle (around 25 bucks), it'll smell slightly different. more strong, because when it's in the store, it's really spread out and not as uh, choking? anyways if you like the smell a lot, they sell fierce and you can just spray the stuff onto their little cards and carry the cards with you home for free hahaha.

Yeah. That smell is the same way at Hollister stores too. Sometimes I swear its their mens cologne "Drift" which I LOVE. My friends always ask me why I buy so much of my clothes from A&F and Hollister and I always tell them it's because of that "new clothes smell" their stuff has.

But yeah, for Hollister I am almost absolutely sure it's their guys cologne Drift. I bought the cologne for no real reason than the fact that I love the scent. Haha.

haha this is exactly what i thought.

I've never been to an A&F. They don't have one in the mall by where I live. And yeah, i've noticed that each store has their own like smell to it. The store I noticed with a really strong smell was Spencers.

spencers >_>.

who knows what the smell is.-.-

I have never been there. =X I always want to, but i never had the time. And its in a mall i dont really go to.

yea, the a&f smell is Fierce, the men's cologne. my cousin uses it and he always smells like the store! i love it! i was tempted to buy it for myself too! i hate having to wash new clothes from a&f cuz the smell goes away

^ i knowww!! it sucks. i buy clothes from there and i wont wear it, i`ll leave it in my closet so my closet can kind of smell like it. ahaha. and eventually i`d wear it.

Although MANY MANY MANY MANY people beg to differ, i LOVE The smell of hot topic

oooh goshh. i just LOVEEE the smell of hollister

woah. i never knew that.

i really like AE`s smell too.

^ i never really noticed AE`s smell

i love hollister`s scent too!<3

lol.. i love the smell. i would smell the clothes i recently buy from a&f.

lol. i guess it`s just our store here. it kind of smells woody.

it`s also the same with polo ralph lauren stores.

wait why do they spray cologne into their whole store... why not the perfume?

well i guess it`s because the cologne has been their trademark scent for quite some time now, so they just stuck with it. i`m not sure though.

actually i think i know what you`re talking about.
and yes i like the smell too

haha i never knew there was a smell, but i love a&f clothes :).

I worked at a Spencers for 2 months over the summer.
It's some kind of insence (sp) they have like right in the front.
Everyone loves the smell, but to me it's like somebody is burning the stick right INSIDE my nose.

So yah, that answers the question.
OH my favorite part of working there?
Walking through the store doing stock with the "personal message" toys.

Wait, what does Hot Topic smell like?!

Having friends that worked there, I'm not even sure there is a smell.
Hmm.

^ Yeah, I thought so.

Well they have really awful colognes that give me a headache, and most of the time the only thing you can smell in there is if someone sprayed some of the girly stuff.

Other then that, the only things that stand out is the clothes and that's if you are up close and smell them.

It's that new clothes smell that all clothes have though.

Sheesh.

yeah i noticed that haha. it always smells in Hollister too.

oh my. me too.
even though its not a strong OMG HOT TOPIC smell, its smells good.

The smell in Hollister is pretty much a mix of both the cologne and the perfume, so I'm guessing it's the same for Abercrombie.
