Some people will probably say some of the 'Pure' flankers from the Thierry Mugler A*Men line surpass the original.

I feel that way about the Pure Coffee and Pure Havane.

Hmm.

Flanker: a fragrance that capitalizes on the success of a master brand. For instance, J Lo Glow was followed by the flanker scents Miami Glow and Love at First Glow. Many flankers are released as limited editions. Some flanker scents are variations on the original fragrance (i.e. they might share certain notes), others share nothing more than the name.

Flacon: a small stoppered bottle, especially one for perfume.

And one that most have probably not smelled, from the house of 1000 flankers:

Coolwater Summer Fizz > Coolwater

Summer opens like Sprite and dries down closer to GIT than Coolwater. Only lasts 3 hours but it's a great 3 hours.
