I am curious to blind-buy a mini (.25oz) of Colours by Alexander Julian. I did a search of the forum and it seems like anyone that has purchased a bottle within the past 2 years or so has pretty much said it smells vile or rancid.
I know that this scent was discontinued quite some time ago, and the only bottles that seem to be floating around are the above mentioned minis. Does anyone know if it is possible that this old inventory or any bottle of it (possibly not stored properly) that is available have simply gone bad, hence all of the negative comments?
Or is it just the case that it's a love it or hate it fragrance that doesn't appeal to everyone, hence the (I assume) poor sales and thus it's discontinuance.
The positive reviews mention powdery, creamy, and similarities to Lagerfeld Classic and Royal Copenhagen, which are both very high up on my list of colognes that I love.
I figure if I'm going to try one, I should probably do so before they completely disappear. But on the other hand, if they're so old that they've gone rancid, I should probably just avoid any.
Many thanks!
