I have a long relationship with this gem. I have stories to tell. Still remember when one of the super boss asked me what I was wearing who sat almost 6 feet away from me. Once I traveled to a nearby hill station and my cousin forgot to pick my bag, would you believe that it shouted hell loud I am here, almost after 20 hours. Well that was about 10 years ago.
I never ran out but observed a slight decline in performance over a period of time. My latest possession is about 7 months. I still get spices mixed with Bergamot and thin Grapefruit. This part is truly a bliss and then Ginger comes for a small introduction followed by Sage, Vetiver and amazing mixture of Labdanum, Musk and Sandalwood. I remember getting a projection almost for 7 hours but now its reduced to around 4. Sillage still remains amazing with a great longevity, may be 12 hours. I stll able to get a whiff on clothes that are up for laundry which I wore around 3 days back, and I dont spary it on clothes. Old or original was truly amazing but I an happy that formulated version stll holds great value for money. One of my favourite, try for mild summer. My experience:
