Does Green Valley turn bad?

I recently bought a big bottle of Creed Green Valley. Now I am somewhere reading that it turns bad after some time. Is this true in your experience?

Congratulations on your purchase of this excellent fragrance.

I have had a flacon for a couple of years, that I use as a splash. It's about half used now and still smells pretty damned fine to me.

The only bad experience I've had with GV was when I foolishly bought a bottle off a guy in Singapore, off Ebay. It smelled like someone had topped GV up with Erolfa.

Keep it in optimum conditions and I reckon you'll be good for a few years. Incidentally, is it a flacon?

It's a 120 ml bottle. I love the smell, kind of a cross between GIT and Fahrenheit, although it seems a bit short lasting...

As long as you keep in its Original box, sheltered from Light and in a room without abrupt temperature changing, it should be good for years and years to come.

Yeah, that's what I understand generally from fragrance keeping, but I feared that in GV's case it would be different...
