Quentin I haven’t smelled the original, but this stuff is strong. This last all-day long. It’s a good scent, but I don’t love it. First, the opening is somewhat harsh, but that last only about 1-2 minutes. Then you get lots of amber, vanilla, and the bergamot, which is very nice. After that it turns into a thick amber scent, which is also nice. The problem is after about an hour you get the base notes of the fragrance which are Tonka, amber, and vanilla. However, these base notes last for hours upon hours. I tried to wash this stuff off three times, and it stayed on my skin. After a while this scent became cloying and gave me a headache.
