I have a bottle from June of 1993 and one from May of 2000 and they both smell different than the 2013 release shown above. The '93 formula features early synthetic civet musk in a heavier concentration which results in a dusty/dusky, darker aroma of animalic, balsamic sweetness in a thick resinous blend, earthy, sensual and primal. The '00 formula switched to brighter synthetics in a smaller concentration which brought forward the sweet, floral quality, cutting that "old sugar" note. Less dusty, softer, sweeter like the old lady got 10 years younger. Both are phenomenal as expected and stand the test of time. I specifically hunted down these older versions for their feral qualities as I was not seeking the generic floral powder sweetness of the current rendition. 10/10 for the '93 9.5/10 for the '00
