The deals don’t seem to be as good as last year’s sale.  Maybe they will offer deeper discounts in January.

12/11/09  Update:   More restrictions on this promotion.  Read here.

The catch is the offer is in the U.S. stores only.  With every $100 purchase, receive a $25 gift card.

Another catch is the promotional gift card expires on 1/31/2010.  So they are good for you to go back after Christmas to get some bargain items for yourselves.

The fine print:

*Offer valid on all purchases exceeding $100 in Abercrombie stores located in North America, excluding the Flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York and stores located in Hawaii. Promotional gift cards expire on 1/30/2010. Not valid on previous purchases, gift card purchases, or online at Abercrombie.com. Restrictions on bulk purchases may apply. Not redeemable for cash or store credit. Not applicable with employee discount. Other restrictions may apply.*

This one smells sweet for me.  It reminds me of the Black Walnut eau de Toilette from Banana Republic.  In contrast to the Abercrombie Fierce Cologne, which is more fun for a good night out, Colden is more mature and sophisticated.

Which one lasts the longest?  Fierce is the winner.  Colden comes in second.  41 the third.

Fierce is just perfect for evenings.  Colden can be great for work during the day because it is sophisticated.  It is perfect for a romantic date as well because it is sweet.

Need I say more?!?!  Hurry!!!  You don’t see them run “Clearance” ads like JC Penny does where “every sale is this year’s BIGGEST sale”, do you?

I recently tried the 41 Cologne in an Abercrombie & Fitch store and I was mesmerized.  It is rugged, subtle, and yet makes a definite statement about yourself.  While I still prefer Banana Republic Classic cologne for work because I believe overpowering aftershave or cologne can kill the entire office personnel even mice and cockroaches, I think A&F 41 Cologne is good for day time fun.  My evening and clubbing choice is A&F Fierce Cologne.  To this day, I still get compliments when I wear it during the boy’s night out.

 At Abercrombie & Fitch for $50 (1.7 oz)

This cologne for sure will get you a lot of compliments.  I know it because I wear it.
