One of the Unlimited reformulations that brings a scent down!
Paying less for more doesn't always work out!
If i had not gotten a 200ml for £45 i would be sending this back as the notes are not as advertised anymore. USC is still selling the green text version in the UK on their website but instead of creating a separate item page for the new reformulated version with black text only, they are both on the same page listing only the original's notes. The new box has written on it what the notes are with the black text version and are as follows.
The top notes have the mint and grapefruit replaced with Iced violet leaf. Then the mid has removed 2 of the notes and is only pineapple now. The base is sandalwood accord. That's all folks!
I thought it was strange the store was selling the 200ml in black text for £45 but only a 100ml of the green text is £75. There is no warning about the notes changing and i smell zero mint.
In the opening you get the iced Violet Leaf giving this cooling feel to it i guess to replace the mint which was actually one of the main notes i was looking forward to the most. Once the Violet is gone and it goes quick, you get left with the Pineapple which i do enjoy but I already own Club De Nuit Intense which has that strong Pineapple note in it. I guess if you don't like strong long lasting or strong projecting fragrances then this is for you. I personally don't like weak fragrances that last no time at all but with a 200ml bottle i suppose i will have plenty to keep refreshing myself with. lol.
Maybe if you layer this with something like Aqua De Gio Profondo or maybe D&G Light Blue Eau Intense or other similar freshies it could help with performance. I have yet to try that as i got some others i have been too busy enjoying at the moment but on a day when i am not busy i will try the layering and update this review with the results. Layering with Light Blue and Versace Man Eau Fraiche has had some success in boosting some of my other weaker fragrances making them perform like a beast. Another you could use it with if you love Pineapple is the previously mentioned Club De Nuit Intense to boost the Pineapple or the original it is cloning Creed Aventus. If you are someone reserved and don't like those strong type of fragrances but love Pineapple then grab the 200Ml deal on at USC for £45 while you can. Or if you wondered what Creed Aventus/ Club De Nuit smells like without the smokeyness to it again this might be up your street. So there could be an audience for this but i only see it as a layering fragrance tbh.
For those who love the OG again, USC is selling the one with the green text, so grab that while you still can. I unfortunately can't afford to keep buying the same things no matter if i got one cheaper while there are other fragrances i want to try out there. I just thought i would let people who love the original know that they should get the green text version while they still can.
The bottle is cool though, would have looked better with the green text though. That's what i get for trying to save money lol.
UPDATE:
After a long time of not wearing this i realized i have been harsh on this for it not having the advertised notes in it once did, but actually this smells really nice so i am raising its scent score. I should not judge things on what i thought it should be smelling like, and instead of what it is smelling like, and what it is, is actually a nice fruity, fresh fragrance with yes a nice sandalwood accord. If only it lasted longer. But yeah this is a very pleasant fragrance after all.
Value is average still though, because even if i am getting 200ml for £45 it doesn't last long, so if this was someone's signature scent they would go through it in no time. So keep that in mind. It is good for before going to bed if you want something nice smelling that won't go in to the morning though and yeah if you have a travel decanter it would be nice for through the day also.
