my dad said this is his favorite fragrance but he hasn't had it in ages since he's a cheapskate, and he wasn't sure what version it was. figured I'd get him some for Christmas
any idea which one I should go for, like EDT, parfum etc? I assume the one he had was a relatively early version

The original is the ETD which is what you most probably want. The Parfum was released in 2020 or so and is very different from the rest of the line. It's more of a salty, coconuty, semi leather-ish floral frag and hardly has any of that 1M DNA. It's pretty good, but if your father actually likes/wants 1M then it's highly likely that he won't like this one, even if only on account of failed expectations.

How does Versace The Dreamer (which I really like, daily driver next to my meme clone of Green Irish Tweed) compare to Amouage Reflection strictly in a notes sense? Is Reflection that same powdery tobacco thing?
>>
>>18594302
reflection is much worse, boring and honestly smells like something like altamir or paloma minotaure. versace is WAY better, t. owner of a bottle from 2017, I think they reformulated it soon after - when I was getting my bottle there was only one version on fragrantica
and dreamer has that romantic/evening-ish quality I'm not finding in reflection
>>
>>18594319
Thanks anon. It's refreshing to hear a take on Reflection that isn't positive. Glad I didn't spring for a decant or clone. What's your favorite winter scent that DOESN'T have le boozy vanilla amber shit to it?

Week two into the frag rabbit hole. I keep reading that "new formula is shit" for pretty much every perfume. I guess people who did not buy their stuff in 2000 to bang high schoolers are out of luck? Not going to buy "totally OG woman instant cum fahrenheit from 1990" for 500$ on ebay.
>>
>>18594384
sometime the opposite happens and the reformulation is better, like the current Invictus, is more heavy on the patchouli and less fresh than when it first came out.
>>
xeryus was also better when it was reissued as part of the mythique line
>>
>>18594384
Look for clones of the original formulations. Or look for stuff with the same notes or accords.

Most stuff does get weaker with reformulations, but it varies. Bogart One Man Show still has like 7 hours of decent performance. Drakkar Noir was the same until a few years back when they released the 2020 formulation. It usually takes a few reformulations to kill something and that's why I think all the '80s and '90s stuff is getting ruined.

This is one of the biggest reasons I get clones. I'm not gonna be pissed if I have to reapply an $8 bottle of Cuba, but I'd be pissed if a $200 designer fragrance lasted 4 hours.

Just try things out personally and come to your own conclusions lil faggot
>>
>>18594384
This is only true for certain fragrances.

If you are not very particular about a scent then don't worry about it.

I wear modern Antaeus, it's fine. I have a 1st formulation Platinum Egoiste and it mogs the rest, modern is fine tho. It really depends on you, if it's going to be a signature scent, seek out the vintage.

>fahrenheit from 1990
I have this and it smells great but doesn't perform to modern standards. While reformulations do happen, because of regulations and kikery, it's impossible to make a definitive assessment without a big enough sample. You can't compare a random vintage with something new when you don't know how it was stored or used. Heck, two vintages months apart can smell completely different because of the same reason. Even comparing modern vs modern can be useless because of maceration. "They ruined Dickus Avonti with the 2025 reformulation, it smells completely different to my 2024 bottle that I have been using for a year." It could literally be the same and has just changed as all fragrances do. I have some amazing smelling fragrances that are over 30 years old but you can't pretend that's how they smelled when they were new, especially the top notes. I still rather pay the boomer tax because I like them better than the new stuff.

TL:DR Reformulations happen but a comparison that doesn't involve at least 30 bottles is guaranteed to be inaccurate.

It's not that they are out of luck, it's that they are moslty limited to new fragrances and niche ones.
I am sorry but you cannot experience the 80s powerhouses with current restrictions and prices on natural ingridients, doesn't mean you completely have no options though

It could not get any more embarrassing. Everyone in the vicinity must have known she moved specifically to get away from Mr Smelly, and I had to spend the next 20 minutes publicly humiliated.

This experience completely undid all the "oh you smell good" petty compliments garnered over the years. Here I was thinking wearing Vol de Nuit would make me the brave pilot flying through the cool night sky; little did I know I was actually smelling of Fabien's corpse rotting within the Andes.
