In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Sandalwood Canyon by Abercrombie & Fitch is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Sandalwood Canyon was launched in 2024.

Reviews →

Thé Fantaisie opens with juicy citrus, black tea and a lively pinch of spice, then settles into soft woods with a clean, airy feel. Reviews describe it as fresh but layered, especially good in warm weather, with a sharper edge for some wearers and a tea note that can feel more persistent than many light colognes.
