What Fragrance Did You Use Today?

Club De Nuit Intense - Armaf
Strong opening and a bit synthetic but, give it 15-30 minutes to settle down. 95% Aventus for 10% of its cost. Fantastic juice and performer.....

Do you have a newer or older bottle?

I read that the newer bottles aren't as strongly scented.

I purchased 2 bottles, one late 2015 and another in mid 2017. The ‘15 is nearly gone and the one I still have left is the ‘17 bottle which to my nose they are virtually identical. I picked one up early this year and though the scent is similar, it’s not the same neither is the performance. Big time reformulation. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you how you can tell the difference from ‘15 to now because there are no batch lot numbers to reference. If you can find older versions from 2015-2017, grab it as it will not disappoint.

Good luck....

Edit. Correction, there are batch code #’s on the bottles. The ‘15 & ‘17 bottles have early number codes that start at 201 & 207 respectively. The ‘19 bottle has a code that starts at 255. Another thing is that both of my older bottles the atomizer/sprayer button is chrome in color, where as the newest one the sprayer is black. Hope this helps....

This is what I recall finding out as well. Just not sure where to find an older bottle at?

I guess I would need to ask the vendors before I buy. Seen pictures of the older bottle. But I wonder if it is just an older picture and I will be shipped a newer bottle?

That's the only thing holding me up on making a purchase. Don't want a reformulated version.
