I haven’t smelled the original, but this is a great musk scent. This is very smooth and subtle musk, with a sweet touch. I enjoy this fragrance.
This is an absoloutely gorgeous cologne . The blend of musk, patchouli and the veviter and whatever else makes this so unique !
Performance on my skin is 3-4 hrs but I do not care as long as I can have this smell around me it will suffice - better yet, take a decant with you :)
Another thing I love about this cologne is just when you you think it has transitioned into a skin scent you get a sudden whiff of the gorgeous smell reminding you that you smell soooooo good today :) - Get it.....If you are into something that is so gorgeous ...(not a beast) ....but your girlfriend/partner will just keep sniffing that neck of yours all the time .
Very nice modern musk scent. It's a unisex one that would be great for daytime wear. I love the mix of wood/musk/berry in this. At times the berry is reminiscent of Silver Mountain Water, but closer up the wood and musk take over and give a really creamy opulent scent.
