I've seen reviews that this does not smell like the Cherie perfume from 2005. Is that true?

Correct. It's just the Miss Dior, which smells nothing like the Cheri' The bottle is square whereas Cherie' is tear drop shaped. Hope this helps.

Hello - I personally didn't even know that "Jean Nate" had made Jean Nate. Also I was not aware that it was made by Revlon - I guess I just wasn't paying attention; however,for me, I just remembered how it smelled. When I received the item, it smelled as I remembered. There may be a difference, which is possible especially if companies change owners, perfume ingredients are change, etc., but the bath splash smelled the same to me. I suggest to give it a try and see for yourself. If it smells the way you don't remember, you'll know - it's a smell that's very distinct.

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.

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.

I believe it is, Please keep in mind, this is the new reformulated version, Coty enterprise bought out Calvin Klein's Obsession and changed the formula, so it DOES NOT smell like the original from back in the 80's or thereabouts. I do not like the new version and was able to find the vintage Obsession on Ebay. However, if you have smelled the new product you find in the stores, then this from Amazon is the same. Hope this helps.

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!

Re: 2013 re-reformulation--no, the Mitsouko I purchased was bought well before 2013, so that would not be possible--to me, it seems exactly what I used to wear 30 years ago, however, and is a lovely fragrance.

Zane, I'm sorry to say...but, unless this is old perfume (like over a year old), it is not the old version. Being an Opium junkie for almost 30 years now, I can honestly tell you that I am heartbroken over the "new recipe". I'm not sure, but the so called new formula for this scent was in direct response to import laws imposed by the Uncle Sam a couple of years ago...so there might be a chance of getting the old formula from the Paris site...but I'm not sure they will ship it here, to the U.S. Hope this helps! And, if you find a way to get the original scent, PLEASE let me know so I can get a bottle.

First of all, if you have never smelled the original it would be best to do that at a department store so you can know how it is supposed to smell. I too love the original and know the difference because I've owned several vintage bottles. I took a chance on this one and am positive it is the real stuff. Your best bet is to go on Ebay and look for bottles like this one sealed in the box. I prefer the actual eau de parfum and saw what I was looking for on Ebay was quite pricey in the original 60's-70's style bottles I am familiar with. The only reason I did not purchase was because I became suspicious some unscrupulous sellers may be watering down those bottles because the real perfume came in a splash and spray type bottle. I would not purchase a splash style. My next purchase may still be an Ebay purchase in the EDP spray. No seller wants a bad rating and if I even suspect dilution will contact them for a full refund including shipping and will make them aware I will leave negative feedback if they refuse to comply. I hope my answer has been helpful to you. What I purchased here is the real deal and lasts long enough on my skin I am sure it is the genuine fragrance and perfume. If I have somehow been duped, the dupe is so incredible I have no remorse. ;) (I just looked at the prices on Ebay. Most are absurd. I had a great buy with this purchase on here.

Yes it smells a lot like the Victoria Secret one, though not exactly like it. This is more natural and less chemical scented.

I am not quite sure whether it is the same as in the store or not because it's my first time to purchase this perfume and I have got it online but I doubt that it would be original. BTW, I bought from BeautyEncounter which has a very high rating, so I would suggest you try another seller if you really want to.

R.C. I'm a bit confused by your question? I believe that all of Joy perfume by Jean Patou is made in France, that would include the Joy Eau De Toilette, the Joy Eau du Parfum, and the actual Joy perfume. It has been around since 1930. To my knowledge there hasn't been a different version of it that has been made since March 2013. Of course the crop of flowers that go to make it will be a little different each year, but otherwise I believe the formula has been unaltered since the perfumes beginnings in 1930.

It is not the original product that has been around for years but it is similar. I haven't been able to find the one in the bottle that is pictured. The one I got has a teal label and my wife says the scent is not the same. She still wears it though and seems to be happy with it. She is sad that we can't find the original product anymore.

It is not the old scent. I had some lotion and a little of the perfume left to compare - not remotely close to the old soft, powdery scent. It's more like fabric softener or air freshner and does not last. Very cheaply made.

The one I bought smells just like the original one to me. I've bought other sizes that did not. Ombre Rose is one of my favorite scents of all times. It must be one of yours also.

This perfume is no longer being made. The current inventory is of less quality, and thefragrance is not of the same quality. My wife used it for 20 years and will no longerit.She said it smelled like it watered down.
