Isn’t it a little difficult to compare the old and the new scent. I mean the first one must be outdated, it came out 10 years, and will definitely not have it’s original scent anymore! Just a thought – perfumes do not last forever.

I love the original Asphalt Flower from a few years back. It’s quite unusual, very confident and powerful/masculine scent. Easy to overdo, so I use only one dab inside my elbow directly from a bottle (I guess, mine is a refill since there is no sprayer). It grew on me overtime. Not an everyday fragrance unless you wear it to a formal office full of men with intention of making a firmer impression. Men respect that kind of scent and start regarding you as one of them. It’s somewhere up in line with Emporio Armani She in terms of effect it has on me. Great for boosting self-esteem and fearlessness factor, it makes me kind of bossy in eyes of others with no efforts on my side. For moms and teachers, it might add authority to calm down difficult kids. I didn’t try the new version, vanilla might make it softer and more feminine.

Glad you didn’t purchase it before it dried down a bit!

I hope you let us know if it’s worth it or not!

Hey Lucia,

Thanks for your input! Good to know I wasn’t the only one smelling soap!
