    if the original ever gets reformulated, i'll just wear this instead. the drydown is where the magic happens, lasts forever on fabrics. would be 5 if the Tonka bean was just slightly more prominent in the drydown.

  • Patricia LevyVerified buyer

    i was nervous about the comparison to the original but it holds up. on first spray i wasn't sold, but 20 minutes in it's a completely different (better) fragrance. 10/10 would buy again.

  • Lincoln SkinnerVerified buyer

    i was nervous about the comparison to the original but it holds up. i get compliments without even trying, which is rare for me. 4 stars — the sillage is a little soft for my taste but the smell is gorgeous.
