Clones and dupes inspired by:

The Sniff Test is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by Abercrombie & Fitch. Brand and product names are used only to identify the fragrance being reviewed and compared. References to alternatives, impressions, clones, or similar products do not imply any connection with the original brand or rights holder.
Inspired-By Comparison
Every clone rated on similarity and performance. Oils and sprays are priced on separate lines, because a millilitre of oil is not a millilitre of spray.
Oil is undiluted, so a millilitre of oil holds several times more fragrance than a millilitre of spray. Each format is ranked on its own.
Each line shows one size: a 50ml spray (30ml, or the nearest size, when the vendor has no 50ml) and the oil closest to 10ml. Vendors also sell other sizes, including samples and bulk.
Prices are converted to your selected currency at recent exchange rates. Vendors bill in their own currency, so the amount you are charged may differ slightly.

Find the Original
Abercrombie & Fitch Wakely is the benchmark for this scent profile. Alternatives may be worth comparing, but they are independent products and we do not present them as equivalent to Abercrombie & Fitch's own fragrance.
They do not replace the original fragrance, its presentation, or the version created under the brand's own quality control. If that is what you are looking for, search the official site or trusted retailers below.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Wakely was released by Abercrombie & Fitch in 2009, an era when mainstream brands favored bright, fruit-forward and lightly gourmand scents aimed at a younger market and casual daytime wear. Marketed for women, it opens on citrus and sweet accents that settle into a jasmine-led white floral heart with an amber warmth on the drydown, producing a citrusy, sweet, white-floral and amber profile. The fragrance has a positive reception among users, rated 4.26/5 from 85 votes, and is often noted for its easy, fresh character even as some reviewers call it common or short-lived.
Our take
I find Wakely to be an easy, sunny scent, bright citrus over a sweet, creamy core and soft jasmine with amber underneath; the community likes it (most votes are love/like), but it can feel generic and doesn't last long on my skin.
Fragrance Notes
Dominant Accords
The Bottle
Abercrombie & Fitch Wakely comes in a tall, narrow bottle with mostly straight sides and rounded upper shoulders, its smoky-gray body lightening through the centre and darkening at the base. A tall dark cap with rounded corners sits above a narrow collar, and the front label names Wakely. This is tidy and conventional rather than distinctive.
Original or Clone
Wakely’s standing is clear from the fact that two houses have tried to reproduce its citrus, sweet and white-floral character. That attention gives the original a reason to remain the reference point, especially for readers who want the release that prompted those interpretations. We have no comparative evidence about how closely either one resembles Wakely or how either performs, so the evidence supports the original’s status, not a universal verdict. A reader choosing an interpretation is making a reasonable decision.
