Original Poison would smell throughout the house for days, it wa that powerful so was looking forward to this spray after reading so many positive reviews. First spray was initially disappointing as nowhere as powerful as original Poison of years ago. That said, once it settled we could see the fragrance was about right. Longevity is pretty good as still detected on the skin next day after showering and washing up. Worth the money overall and would also suit those that found the original overpowering. For us, the oil may have been a better choice. We have ordered Creed, Bon Bon and The Night and look forward to reviewing them when they arrive.
