The Essence Vault Fierce - 301 is an Eau de Parfum. Fierce - 301 opens with Fir and Citrus, settles into a heart of Sea Water and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. The Essence Vault's Fierce - 301 carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

No. 301 recreates Abercrombie's Fierce fresh-citrus-musk formula fairly closely at surface level, but plays it thinner and more linear than the original's legendary sillage, without quite the same lasting compliment-pulling power.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No. 301 follows the same clean, fresh-woody formula that made Abercrombie & Fitch's Fierce an era-defining scent, opening with fir and bright citrus before moving into a cardamom-marine heart and finishing on a musky sandalwood base. It captures the bright, youthful, masculine energy of the original well enough to be instantly recognisable, but it renders thinner and more linear, missing some of Fierce's legendary sillage and the subtle rosewood-oakmoss depth that gave the original its cult reputation. Performance is moderate rather than legendary - expect a few hours of clean, energetic freshness rather than the room-filling trail some vintage bottles of Fierce are known for. Still a solid everyday option for fans of clean masculine musks who want the vibe on a budget.
