Armani Eau pour Homme (1984) vintage

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
Is there a way to recognize the vintage juice from the reformulated one, only looking at the cardboard box?
Impossible to open and smell

Not sure if you can tell from the box without seeing the bottle.

This is the dirty-play in the shops : putting many sealed bottles in a row, with a vintage tester in front of these.
The potential buyer try the tester, and "oh it smells wonderful", and pick and pay the bottles.
Reformulated ones, of course.
Really a dirty game!

Well, no means definitive, but the current version has no Oak Moss listed on the box. The previous version did but I hear that one wasn't that great either. If you see only alcohol and fragrance listed as ingredients, then it's probably vintage. Just my intuition.

Here a picture from two different ages : left bottle EDT dated 2009, right one (AfterShave) dated 2004 . Your opinion?
in the left: Oakmoss "extract" only ; in the right Oakmoss and treemoss "extracts".
(BTW: oakmoss was banned in year 2001......)

*Bump*

 

Can someone please tell me how to spot a vintage version of Eau Pour Homme? Is the black stripe at the bottom of box and bottle (+ the golden-black cap) a reliable sign?
