why has the bottle changed? and why is the fragrance weaker?

Good question Barbara, I was extremely dissapointed with Sublime. I loved this fragrance for years. Then they decided to stop selling it. I was elated when I found it online. But It sits in a drawer, not the same. I should have returned. You should... sorry

Not sure, maybe it's old? Mine did not and doesn't smell bad now. Good luck.

The formula also changed. There are a lot less phospholipids, omegas and epa. Compare the backs of the bottles. I'm very dismayed.

It's normal for the serum to change color because of the natural ingredients; it doesn't affect the the effectiveness. As for the scent, I'm not sure what's going on there. I know that when my nose gets used to a scent, it doesn't smell as strong to me anymore.

my bottle is clear and smells like oranges. I would contact the company about a replacement!

I am wondering about the fragrance. It does not last like the original one I bought. I am wondering if it is not the true Juicy Couture.

Well I bought a bottle and took it to my friend who buys directly from doterra... Well hers smelled a lot stronger than mine. The consistency felt off as well. I do not recommend buying from here.

It seems I read somewhere, and wish I could quote the source, that apparently the old formula had some chemical that the EPA has banned since the original Jubilee of the 50"s through 70's. Consequently, the new Jubilee wouldn't be exactly the same, which may account for the milder scent. It still works just like the old Jubilee. You might try doing an internet search of Jubilee and find more specific info...

All perfumes have been reformulated due to government regulations over the years. The old ingredients they used to contain are now blacklisted, so the reformulations don't smell like they used to. The 4 oz. bottle you mentioned is probably one of two things...it is perhaps an original formula, thus the high price. If that is the case, it might not have been stored well and might not smell good as it is old. Or, it could be the reformulated version, and in this case, you might not like what you smell when you get it. This perfume was my all time favorite for years, but I cannot bear to smell it now. It is no longer Lauren to me. I would not buy it at that price. Get a smaller, cheaper bottle from Amazon and see what you think of the reformulation. Good luck!

In my opinion, most all colognes are weaker, and are more like aftershave. Old Spice has gone cheaper too, as the ceramic bottles are gone. Very cheap looking plastic bottles now, as is this one............

Look on the bottle, each bottle is different. I have some dated July 2013 and some dated Oct 2013.

Mine just arrived. The code that is suppose to be inside the top cover was ripped out of BOTH boxes. BOTH bottles do not look like the one I first purchased from Macy's. It does not smell the same. I hope Amazon or Tuccini will allow me to return them.

I also just received my second bottle. They don't have any strong smell or taste, they are just like the first bottle. I think I would ask for a replacement if the smell/taste is that noticeably different, that doesn't sound right. The lot number on my bottle is 1708335 1236 and use by date is 03/2019. Hope that helps!

It isn't the same though wrapped new. It is not fresh smelling. When something is older, it is stronger.

Don't know about different design, but so very disappointed at the strength of the oil. Can't smell it on myself and very few people comment on the fragrance as in in the past. Something changed. Disappointed!

the manufacturer must have changed the packaging. the last time I bought some the bottles were glass.

I bought two perfumes and two colognes....they don't smell like they should. They're probably watered down...that's why they're cheaper. That could be the reason....
