I picked up a used bottle of Eau d'Orange Verte at a junk shop--clearly used, a 50ml with 10ml or so gone. Very pleasant! Short-lived, but a spray on clothing extended the longevity a bit. Recently, I picked up another bottle of the same juice--a very elegant, thin 15ml spray--this from the local 'black market' in Tokyo--well this was a black market after WWII, now it is a fairly legitimate market, but I think the fragrances can be 'grey market' in the worst sense of the word. My new bottle was wrapped in cello, and appeared to be unused. However, it had a urinous ('cat pee') note that I didn't get from my earlier bottle. Looking at the reviews, some people (the haters) noted this. Others did not. Is the cat pee note a product of bad storage or other damage? If so, it is ironic that my well-used bottle is okay, and the 'new' bottle is bad... I just wanted to know if anyone else has noticed that some samples have the urinous note and others don't. I should also note that the urinous note goes away in 20 or 30 minutes, so it is not a big deal.

Although I get quite a bit of apple freshness in the top note, this scent never becomes sweet or overly fruity. In the drydown flowery touches with a woody note emerge, and some vanilla and... -
Yes, it's yet another flanker and most of them do smell very similar. This flanker is more of the same, but I enjoy this because the floral note is muted and there's more of a focus on the...

Reminds me of being an 18 year old out clubbing! Haha, its amazing how scents can transport you back in time. Nice smell, girls like it, and definitely inoffensive!
