I ordered this based on the description here, as I have never tried the original, and I am in love! Superb dark oriental, long lasting on my skin, absolutely my top favourite scent at the moment.
Brilliant version of one of my absolute favourites. In the bottle it smells exactly the same as the original, also when it warms up on the skin. When first applied, though, it smelled slightly differently to me - then I realised it was the lack of alcohol!
