I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't find the OG version anymore. I have the Blue and Together versions and I love those. Together is my second favorite cologne, in general. Blue would be my favorite of it lasted longer.
I haven't smelled the original one but I got the Extreme and it's just awesome! Actually I also have 2 backed bottles as this became my signature scent in all seasons except summer. Extreme It's too sweet and intense in the summer. From compliment perspective, it's being associated as a very masculine scent while smelling as cucumber - kiwano is African fruit which is half cucumber and half melon.. interesting, right? from what I've experienced so far, ladies in their twenties, especially the early stage of it will absolutely love this scent.
Great Video ....have been waiting for you to release it . saw a bunch of the original and all of the flankers last year ....but wrote them off because they were A&F ..... found the silver box (extreme) and it stood out because it was the one I never really found ....bought it ...thought about returning it .... watched reviews and decided to keep it because it was 100ml for &19.99 at Ross and open it and loved it . have been looking for the OG ....no luck ...found every other one and purchased them . but the damn OG is out there and will complete the collection one day (hopefully soon) thanks for the review (you are taunting me )
Hahaha thanks my friend. That’s a great price for extreme. They are going up at discounters big time. The OG I haven’t seen anywhere but hopefully they pop up again. Like extreme did.
@@gerardgeorge they had the best price ....I have 8 Ross stores near me and drove to all of them found 2 of the Extreme 50 ml bottles as back up but they price those at $17.99...so would rather get the 100ml for the $2 more
So I recently just found 2 bottles. At Marshalls 3.4 for 25$ the batch code said it was made August of this year they say that the extreme is discontinued but I don't think it is I love the extreme great value for 25$
Great video Gerard. I have never found the original in a rack store but I do own the other three. I do like the extreme and the together quite a bit. Now you can do a comparison video on blue and together 🙂
by the official notes the major difference is that the Extreme uses a Kiawa Melon (or something like that) which is a spicy melon, the OG uses a (honey?) melon. And the the Extreme has Gin and Tonic as well while the OG only Tonic. The Rest of the notes is basically the same expect there light be Pepper in the Extreme but I don't remember. Both great scents.
I got first instinct together based from TLTGs review cheap, then I got first instinct blue later on and like that just as much as the together version but it doesnt last as long, now I have to get the other 2 regular and extreme.
First Instinct Extreme renders First Instinct obsolete in my opinion. Different noses, different folks, but yeah. I can't think of a situation where I'd want to reach for the original over Extreme. My bottle of the original ran out, and when I got Extreme I didn't replace the original. I still own First Instinct Together and Blue, those are good in their own right, I also own Fierce Intense and those are all ones I'd replace if I ran out, not plain old First Instinct. Actually, in fairness, if I saw a bottle for $20 at a rack store and they had nothing else I wanted, I'd consider it, but that's the only way.
@@gerardgeorge oh cause i found out about this perfume because of documentary on Netflix. "white hot rise and fall A&F. and this perfume is 40USD in Malaysia meanwhile just 20-30 in usa.
@@gerardgeorge yea.. poor guy. Hopefully he gives his heart and life to the Lord Jesus Christ the world is hurting badly WE All Need Jesus. He is our only HOPE
No reference here but blind bought the extreme for $20 a few months ago and I was extremely stoked on the smell. Great vid man. Thank you
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Where'd you get it
@@gerardgeorge bought it blindly earlier tired of spending 100 for fierce this stuff really good the extreme
Abercrombie First Instinct is sooooo FRESH!!! An amazing fragrance for a HOT 🌞☀️🌞☀️ day. Thanks Gerard for this video.
Cheers! 🍷🥃☕️
Totally agree Rich! Excellent scent.
Thanks for this. Picked up an extreme at TJ Maxx today for 20 bucks
Nice grab!

Yea I haven’t seen it all year. That’s going to be the toughest one to get. I’ve seen more of the extreme this year actually.
You cand find it on notino

Kiwano sounds very interesting! I like extreme as well both are excellent.
Great Video ....have been waiting for you to release it .
saw a bunch of the original and all of the flankers last year ....but wrote them off because they were A&F .....
found the silver box (extreme) and it stood out because it was the one I never really found ....bought it ...thought about returning it ....
watched reviews and decided to keep it because it was 100ml for &19.99 at Ross and open it and loved it .
have been looking for the OG ....no luck ...found every other one and purchased them .
but the damn OG is out there and will complete the collection one day (hopefully soon)

Same for me. I own the others but not the OG, can't find it.

FI is the bomb, I'm 49 and rock it. I've had 3 females and dudes aske me what am I wearing.
A definite attention grabber!
Thanks for the great review, Gerhard. If you could also do a future comparison review including Together and OG, that would be awesome. Cheers.
Thanks Andrew!

That’s a steal Christopher and I have also been seeing them pop up. Nice grab.
I have to buy them blind and this video got my back. So thanks a lot
You got it!
Great video Gerard. I have never found the original in a rack store but I do own the other three. I do like the extreme and the together quite a bit. Now you can do a comparison video on blue and together 🙂
I think you’re onto something!
This review helped me pick out the extreme instead of the original. 👍
So glad it helped! Enjoy

Both great scents.
That would actually make a lot of sense when smelling them next to each other.
Love the video G stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
👍🏼
I got first instinct together based from TLTGs review cheap, then I got first instinct blue later on and like that just as much as the together version but it doesnt last as long, now I have to get the other 2 regular and extreme.
Yea both of those are great as well. I have Together.
Awesome video man!!! Keep up the great content! Have a safe weekend!
You as well Samy. Thank you 🙏🏼
I like this, you look like the Jason Sudakis of frags
Hahaha thanks Joe! Dont know why I'm just seeing this now but it made me chuckle. Love Ted Lasso!
thanks Gerard it was a good help😊
Glad to hear it Pedro!
Is extreme still worth buying this 2023?
Definitely! Especially with the OG being harder to find.
@@gerardgeorge would you still pick the first instinct over the extreme up to this day?
@@dneilllegion1047 I think so
Great review love extreme
My man!
Great review
Thank you 🙏🏼
Boston in the house!!
Letsssss goooo!!
Does any of them smell similar to phelps? That they had discontinued?
I don’t remember smelling that one Wolfie unfortunately.
@@gerardgeorge disappointing its one fragrance I've been searching for forever have one last bottle stashed away 😭
Just got both in 100ml bottles for 40$ 🔥
Nice Noah!
Have you tried the blue?
I have. It was my least favorite of the bunch but still a nice scent.
io gli ho tutti e 4 della linea veramente tutti molto buoni.
Yes they are all great options for the Money.

I hear ya Danny. Great points! I think also I have more good memories attached to the OG. Vacations and things like that.
super professional vid
Appreciate that brother 🙏🏼
My fav.is OG
Same here!
How's together? Better than OG and extreme?
Together is great. I prefer OG but they do serve similiar purposes. Great summer fragrances.
@@gerardgeorge thanks. I just bought Together, I like it a lot. I tried the extreme, too strong for me, not a fan.
this gonna be on my list "to buy perfume:" by way did my earlier comment got delete?
I don’t think so Khai. I didn’t delete anything
@@gerardgeorge oh cause i found out about this perfume because of documentary on Netflix. "white hot rise and fall A&F. and this perfume is 40USD in Malaysia meanwhile just 20-30 in usa.
OG
OG all day!
@@gerardgeorge So the OG is discontinued?
@@rwyo83 they both are but the OG is easier to find as of late.
Original is 👑
Complimentary beast 💯
Extreme is mehhhh
I have to agree with you.
You look like Hunter … Hunter Biden … that’s coool lol
lol I never got that until this past year when he was thrust into all of our algos
@@gerardgeorge yea.. poor guy. Hopefully he gives his heart and life to the Lord Jesus Christ the world is hurting badly WE All Need Jesus. He is our only HOPE
