Finally after a long delayed re-launch. Actually came out a little earlier than anticipated. Marc had planned on re-launching it in early July.

glad i got my vintage bottle for a bit cheaper than that. i can't wait to hear your thoughts, hednic. nfn, this is one case where the fragrance does the pyramid justice, although those florals are very subtle.

There is one thing I'm confused about. that web page lists eau de parfum but the bottle in the photo still says eau de toilette. hednic did they mention anything about a new concentration?

I had already received the tester bottle of the new formula many months ago when Marc sent me a 100ml to me for free. There was another thread on this somewhere on the forum. It does justice to the old formula, but it's slightly different. I think this is the old thread: http://www.basenotes.net/t/303285/received-new-gengis-khan-today-from-mdm-new-formula I don't plan on buying the new one one as I have enough of the vintage to last me many many years.

@ mr. hednic...there was something (perhaps MdlM's last email to you?) prompting you to post the following towards the end of that other thread:

 

"Looks like he decided to ditch the reformulation of Gengis Khan and go back to the good thing he had prior."

 

Could you pls clarify? 

 

Understandings/Quesions

-The edt splash I've got is at 90% alc.

-Evidently, the re-issue is an edp at 80% alc.

-I seem to remember MdlM sharing some thoughts about releasing a parfum concentration as well, upon the re-issue - any news on this?  

Love that bottle. I may get this if its easily accessible in the US. 

Thx CMcG, just placed my order of this long awaited fragrance...

This is great to read. Hope Gengis Khan is well received by fragrance buyers.

So what is this fragrance like?

^ of what I'm familiar with, I'd say its spicy/herbal vibe is similar to that of Havana.

The vintage juice opens quite spicy with a strong ginger and cardamom focus before adding a slightly soapy herbal woody vibe in the mid section over a earthy patchouli and amber base. Quite pleasant on the whole... I personally did not get much of a Havana connection, but that's just me...

It looks like they haven't updated the picture on the website, which still shows EdT. My vintage EdT bottle is 90%/vol, while my vintage EdT mini is 85%/vol. The email I had from M. de la Morandière a while ago said the new release was going to be the same formula, just more concentrated at 80%/vol, which would line up with the website listing it as an EdP.
 

Am I missing where they will ship to the US? I see darn near every country, but the US.
