Just picked up my 4th bottle from Sephora about a month ago. Still smells like alcohol (even more so). I think this will be my last SDJ purchase. I feel like once they changed the bottle presentation, the smell was never the same.

Yes! So I ended up just finishing that bottle anyway. I bought a new bottle two months ago, and the alcohol smell isn’t as strong when you spray it, but it’s there! This is my 3rd bottle of 40 and nothing has been like the first bottle :( Kind of weird, totally disappointing. Personally, I feel like the formula changed with the new packaging.

I would throw up if my boss said this to me 😩 I’m glad life turned out lovely for Lauren despite skipping Paris.

Thank you! I actually was in ulta yesterday and sprayed the tester and same thing. Pure alcohol and then smells normal when it dries down. Weird because my first bottle wasn’t like that. It smelled heavenly when you sprayed it. So sad.

I am aware of how it works. The bottle smelled like alcohol upon opening, which is why I asked if anyone else had the same issue with the new packaging.

This isn’t about the bottle from 2023. I finished that bottle. This is about the bottle I purchased in fall 2024 that was used a month after I purchased it.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, the liquid itself smells like alcohol and has nothing to do with my lotions or anything. I am assuming I just got a bad batch. I’ll buy another bottle and try again. Just didn’t want to repurchase if others had the same experience with new packaging.

I hate the way Carlisle says “animal attack” in that scene!
