I wore Samsara for years in my twenties 🙌🏾

I syarted wearing Opium back in the 80s as a teenager. I still wear it today, the eau de parfum still works with my body chemistry. I get many compliments!

I assure you that the modern rendition of Giorgio Beverly Hills is a shadow of its former self. The original Giorgio that was a gorgeous power house in the 1980s did not survive its intervening reformulations.

I love Red Door. It does not announce itself. It subtly invites your attention. Poison was my favorite. Can you even get it anymore?

I still love Red door. I remember when my mom wore it in the '80s and I would wear it from her then too. I would take her bottle of it

❤samsara - I still have a small bottle of the original formulation of this masterpiece scent. It’s hidden away in a box, in a dark drawer along with Cartier’s so pretty EDT and a vintage bottle of Ysatis…I wear them only a few times a year and am in awe of their beauty…I recently purchased a vintage bottle of Estée Lauder’s Sensuous; it’s slightly similar to Samsara but…

From this list
My mum had No. 5  , Poison, Samsara and Opiem
My dad had Drakar Noir and Fahrenheit

Gia modeling the Opium ad. In the Gia movie you'll recognize this photo as the one taken when she arrived to Paris completely drugged and the photographers arranged her body in a way that they could get a shot of her in some way. I'm sure this is not the way they planned to work with her. It's also known that she was partying at studio 54 lot at in 1977 and you know what would happen there. She still looks gorgeous in this pic but it's still sad to see her this way.

I've been a channel no.5 for many,many years and stopped buying it appx 9 years ago as it only lasts an hour and then you can hardly smell it,!!Nowhere near as strong as it used to be !!!!!

As a man now in his 70s, I've used many, many different fragrances.  However, my two all-time most favorite frags that became my signature fragrances were both re-formulated with one of them being re-named and the other discontinued and only remaining today in the EDT formula.  I'm referring to LAGERFELD, launched in 1978 (it won the fragrance of the year award), created by perfumer, Ron Winnegrade.  It was re-formulated in the late 1990s and re-named, "Lagerfeld Classic".  Today, it's syntheticness takes away the richness and depth of the original formula.  Its classic powdery characteristic is gone with the wind!  The other is Opium Pour Homme Parfum by Yves St. Laurent, launched in 1995 and created by perfumer, Jacques Cavallier.  The parfum was discontinued years ago and it's available today only in the EDT.  The parfum formula was unlike anything I had ever come across before nor since after.  It was glorious!  These two fragrances were absolute masterpieces of perfumery and are greatly missed by me.

I never knew Giorgio was banned in certain restaurants lol. Dior Poison was too.

I bought my first bottle of Chanel No 5 in NYC. I recently wanted to remember that trip and bought new bottle. The entire experience was missing. I found a vintage bottle on eBay that actually took me back.

Obsesion smell the same but not have the longevity used at 80s

Fahrenheit is the only men's scent that does not make me immediately wretch - because they do not use that revolting schipre they stick in all men's perfumes to make them "manly." But it's also genuinely magical. It is the only scent  that would make me want to instantly drop whatever I am doing, wherever I am, and to follow my nose after the source. I would even wear it myself even as a woman.

I have a bottle of Bulgari Rose Rose,  I’ve have it forever, just a bit left the bottle. I’ve recently received a brand new bottle, I’m so disappointed, it smells nothing like my old one nor does the scent last more than an hour.  At the price it is no one is getting what was expected!

I will always buy chanel no 5

1. Dakkar Noir
2. Red Door
3. Giorgio
4. Dior Poison
5. Obsession
6. Estee Lauder Beautiful

I can smell it in my mind still 3:15

Perfumes have strict regulations and there's virtually no perfume on the market today that is using the exact same formula from decades ago. BUT there are perfumes that are in production today that perfumers have tried to preserve as closely to the original scent. The one's included in this video are true and i will add a few more from the 90's as well:
CK One - Calvin Klein
Happy - Clinique ( i disagree with this , it's a lot lighter then the original but a lot of people do say it's the same)
Tresor - Lancome
L'eau D'Issey - Issey Miyake (this one is really close)
Most of the Elizabeth Arden like 5th Avenue are pretty much identical
Le Male - Jean Paul Gaultier
Aqua di Gio - Armani

Who ever made the decision to have this AI sound snobbish.  You definitely need to understand persuasion.
