How much does this differ in scent from the earlier (2006, 2008) versions?

I think the scent is fainter. I liked the earlier versions better & thought the fragrance stayed with me longer.

Leans more on the aquatic side. You can expect watermelon, cucumber, and apple to stand out in this one.In general a fantastic warm weather scent.Quite a bit similar to the 2008, which is quite sought after. Unlike 2008 less soapy at the end.2013 also throws hints of moss and muskiness to the trained sniffer. I like fragrances that can seem different on occasion.Good luck

It differs totally, except taht both scents are 'clean' smelling.But for me, the big difference is that the earlier cologne stayed with you a long time. THis doesn't.

In my opinion, it is not the same scent. It bears a faint resemblance to the older product, but not nearly as strong.

My latest purchase of Eau Sauvage EDT was in May of this year. I purchased the 33.8 oz bottle through Amazon and sold by Beauty Encounter, from whom I purchased the same product a year before. I have been using this fragrance for more than 40 years. I have noticed no difference in the fragrance or packaging of the recent bottles from those I've purchased in past years from department stores and neither has my wife, who has a very keen sense of smell. If the recent bottles purchased are counterfeit, then they are indistinguishable from the genuine article and, at the great price offered, I intend to continue purchasing through Amazon's vendors.

I wondered the same thing when it arrived, because it "seemed" different. So I did some online research and it appears to have been reformulated a long time ago. Good news is that it still smells great, and I'm still receiving compliments on it.

I bought one recently to replace the 6 or so years old one I had. I also usually store this one on the floor.... It smells but not strong, just herbally. I'm sensitive to smells and it doesn't bother me. No where as strong as menthol, cinnamon, lavender, or vanilla (all scents I can think of right now).

I don't know. What I can tell you is that I wore this fragrance from 1982to 1992 or so and this seems to be a less rounded aroma. Seemingly different in the formulation.

Yeah those are pretty straightforward. The other two are harder to explain. Bay rum is a pleasant scent but I don't know what to compare it too. Amber has a more traditional scent to it. Reminds me of the barber shaves I use to get. The scents do start off strong but don't last for very long sadly. Or not, guess it depends on what you like really.

Oh...they'll know you walked in the room all right... I bought this for my husband as I remembered it WAS an sensational fragrance back when....BUT since the FDA or whoever took certain perfumery additives off the market all the LATE GREAT fragrances, like this one, are no longer GREAT. My husband does use it but it is nothing like the original formulated years ago. It is NOT a masculine fragrance...smells more like a cheap french hooker!

Yes, there are several different scents. I prefer the original which is a citrus scent with a hint of eucylptus.

No clue. But it's been around for over 30 years. Been my moms fav for at least 30 years. It's a nice soft scent.

I just purchased this. When it arrived it was the ADVANCED formula with FRAGRANCE. I called the sending company and they said that GOJO-PURELL has discontinued the ORIGINAL (unscented) but has used the same item numbers. The selling company is going to contact Amazon to request this item picture be changed. I am very disappointed with this switch. Why do companies give "new and improved" when we like the old product better?!Another clarification note: Upon use, it has a strong rubbing alcohol odor (like the original)--when that dissipates the scent is very, very mild, nearly unscented...but there is some scent included.

no it is different. Also it has a different smell. I think they work about the same.

Mine did not smell the same. Be careful, maybe something is wrong. If I were you I return it and replace it with another one.

No difference. It is the same fragrance. I think it depends on where and/or when it is packaged.

Yes they are very similar. Do you find that the scent goes away pretty fast ? After about half an hour I don't really smell anything. Except for patchouli which isn't my favorite. I expected it to really fill my home with fragrance

It seemed to me that this fragrance disappeared for a while a year or two ago and I couldn't find it anywhere. Maybe they did revise it and in that case I haven't tried it or even smelled it. I was addicted to this fragrance for years and if it has changed I probably won't buy it anymore.

Yes, I've been using this product for many years, it is the same stuff, just an updated look to the packaging. I'm male, but my wife uses it occasionally, and the scent could go either way, not strongly masculine or feminine.
