High School Nostalgia
I used to wear this when i was a teenager (which is about 12 years ago now) and to this day i love it even more.
I took the time to track down some vintage bottles and managed to get one with the original first formulation, and man it exceeded my expectations!! I would call it today’s niche.
The depth, quality and performance of the scent is stellar. The projection is what we today would call beast mode and same goes for the longevity.
The transition that the fragrance makes is what i love about it so much, that spicy, sweet earthy dry down is addictive! The quality of the vintage batches of almost all older releases are so smooth and worth every buck!!

I don't think it has been reformulated ever. But a lot of A*men followed, brand stretching. But this one is my favorite of all. For certain years you could only find the refill juice for the refillable bottle only. Now the ordinary bottled fragrance is back. I do not understand the negative statements about this scent. Probably they have never tried it and judge it as a vintage perfume from the nineties. It is actually a rich gourmand patchouli amber very hot now and . When it was first presented it must have created a cultural shock!

Interesting. First purchase from London in 2000 the juice was blue. My bottle now bottle now 2020 batch smells exactly the same and the juice is blue.

i can completely guarantee you that it has been reformulated multiple times over the years.
