picked this up specifically because i wanted a the original alternative and it delivered. i get a full work day out of two sprays, which is more than i get from the original. great buy, not perfect, but close.

if the original ever gets reformulated, i'll just wear this instead. 3 stars, it's nice but i expected a bit more character.
