lagerfeld jako revisited after 12 years

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
it has been about 11-12 years since i smelled lagerfield jako..i did a search on the internet and found a retailer with a new 30ml bottle in stock so i decided to order it for $20 plus shipping...before resmelling this frag i had positive associations with it back in college because i would wear it while hanging out with these two girls and they would get drunk and wrestle each other half/full naked while i watched all the time..anyway back to the re review

from what i remember years ago before i was in to fragrances it that this frag was very sharp and had what i thought at the time was a urine like smell(not bad though). i had a few small sample spray bottles at the time that i used up to the last drop.

i got the package in the mail today and i did 1 spray to the r forearm and a spray to the from of my shirt and 1 on a spare clean sock i had lying on my dresser....for some reason this frag smells different(not as sharp) and the color of the liquid is not as dark yellow as i remember it to be..was there ever a reformulation? the bottle seems a little cheap?maybe bad batch?

i now can pick out the plum note..and has the standard oriental vibe

not really what i remember though...if i was to spray this on on my arm without knowing the bottle i wouldent have thought this was lagerfield jako

the sticker on the bottom of the bottle says it is made by unilever, made in the USA, and distrubuted by lagerfeld no 2458-400

I remember it starting out with a citrus/candy like vibe muted in the background that turned into something sharp. It was okay but I didn't feel prompted to have it.

Had a bottle of it years ago. I remember dropping the bottle and it had the hallway smelling pretty good for about a week.

That makes two of us. Far too synthetic for my tastes.

I've got two bottles from 12 years ago. It's very powdery, but I like it.
