I was organizing my frags and found myself wondering what the original CW smelled like. While laying hands on the bottle it made me wonder about its legacy, being one of the biggest sellers of all time, if not the biggest. So, I wonder what it smelled like back in 88, are there noticeable differences? Does anyone on BN own the vintage CW formula? It's said to be one of those frags that has undergone no changes as far as smell goes, can this be proven?
