How vintage is this Brut ?

[Jean-Sté]

Hello all ! I've searched on BN, but wasn't able to find out.

Does anyone know how vintage is this Brut bottle, IF it is vintage ? It says "Original", as mentioned on the second picture.

Furthermore, is it a GO, or a NO GO for you ? Would you wear it ? Is it close to the original ?

Thank you very much, have a nice day !

All I can say is my current bottle, which I just bought new for under 5 euros looks identical, EXCEPT for the "Faberge, Paris" text on the glass, which is missing on mine.

I have the same bottle as this with "Fabergé", and it's fine and smells great! Parfums Prestige, who makes Brut in Europe, has also made the classic tall green bottle with the medallion and that version is VERY close/similar to vintage. Lots on eBay:

Thank you very much, Motorcade and Marand75 !

I just want to add that as for this current iteration of the "Original" EdT (without "Faberge, Paris" embossed on the bottle), I was prepared to dislike it. Which is why I was hesitant to blind buy it even at that ridiculously low price.

First off, it's not as sweet or stuffy that I (for some reason) expected. I don't have any historical baggage or negative childhood associations with Brut personally (although this does smell familiar somehow), so to me it's quite surprisingly more fresh than "old man". Longevity isn't great but I knew to approach this more as an eau de cologne.

Naturally, the older stuff must be even better.

It's exactly what I was saying to myself after spraying it on a paper. It smells very fresh, but the lasting is very poor, which is a no go for me, unfortunately.

Would you wear it ?

No, but only because I don't like the fragrance, and not because of its age.

Interestingly, inspired by this thread, I sprayed once on the back of my hand and now several hours later it's still holding on quite nicely and smells very pleasant. I'll have to give this a few more full wearings to form a more definite opinion on longevity. And just as a reminder, mine is NOT vintage.

Thank you for your experience ! I'll give a try next week, by wearing it.
