I finally got to test the new Narciso Rodriguez for Him Limited Edition today on my skin. The initial blast is of metallic coldness, drying down surprisingly quickly into a base similar to the standard NRFM.
But here's the thing - in order to compare I took a spray of the standard NRFM Edt on my other wrist, and it smelled completely different from the bottle I purchased a year ago. The glorious wet cement note that I love about it was gone, and the dry down was insipid, and short-lived. http://community.basenotes.net/image...s/confused.gif
The difference was so dramatic I went back into the shop and took a spray from their other tester, and got the same result.
Sadly, the Limited Edition is a mirror of the "new" NRFM, with the same insipid dry-down. (The bottle is gorgeous though - chrome lining the glass instead of gray paint...)
Has anyone else had this same experience? Is it possible that the scent has already been modified, just 12 months or so after its launch?
