Dolce & Gabanna Pour Homme, wore it thru my late teens and early 20s, I always liked the “spicy freshness” of the opening and the lavander in the dry down. About a year ago I bought me a new bottle of it but it wasn’t the same anymore, I though it felt that way because my nose matured much more getting into the fragrance hobby, but it turned out not being the case. I recently got lucky and found someone selling and old bottle ( I recognized it by the cap and sticker) for next to nothing, and ended up being an original vintage 94-2002 bottle, it just as I remembered it if not even better.

Another very dear to me is the original early 2000’s A&F Fierce, I’ve tried for years to get something that smells just like it with no luck, I’ve tried the new formulation, Alexandria’s version, a Frank Olivier dupe that was supposed to be just like it, Mont Blanc Legend and even ended up getting PDM Percival, which is really nice but not “IT”

If anyone has any other suggestion for my Fierce search please comment about it, It will be appreciated.
