If I buy this product, will I receive the same dark green fluid and wonderful scent that I remember from 20 years ago - or something different?

NO................It was awful. After I joked with my husband about him smelling like he had spray roach killer, we threw it away. Thank goodness, it wasn't that expensive. Wasn't worth my time at that time to send it back...............

Sorry, I never used the old formulation, so I don't know, but go to Fragantica.com or Basenotes and maybe you can find fresh information if was reformulated or not. All that I can tell you is a very strong fragance

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

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.

All of the Naturtint I've ordered in the past have come in green boxes. Maybe they've changed the product packaging?

The product carried by Amazon is indeed the real thing. I have been using this fragrance since 1983 and I know the difference. The prices through Amazon are really reasonable too You can buy with confidence here..

Julie, I think the product smell is very light and not at all unpleasant. Could it be you got an out-of-date or defective product?

Well, the picture on the link says 10/2014.....but I don't know if the bottle you will receive would be the same unless you contact the seller and verify that.

At first it has this powdery light floral scent when you first spray it. But goes away in the first hour of wearing it. there is other "scents" like the blue/green bottle its the original, it doesn't smell like really anything. I know both guys and gals who wear the original one. I'd suggest getting a small can to see if you like it before investing in a bigger one. =) Hope this helps!

From my research the manufacturer is licensed to produce this cologne. I have used the same cologne since 1995 and typically purchased at Nordstrom or Macy's for more money so I was hesitant to purchase online, but believe it is a good product. I have purchased additional replacements, but to answer you question I believe it isn't as strong as the original that I used 15 years ago. The fragrance seems the same, but to satisfy my own curiosity I plan to purchase a store version and will post an update in the near future. Bottom line, I believe the $80 per bottle in saving is worth an extra sprays than paying $125 at the store to the $45 on Amazon. From my research the manufacturer is licensed to produce this cologne.

Oh you bet it's not the same. This is a question for the fragrance vendor, not the purchaser. What I received smelled like insect repellant and was thrown away.

I can't really help you. The one I received smells the same as the one I smelled at the mall. So maybe it's from a old batch that went bad.

I cant tell from the bottle....but it seems exactly the same as the first time I bought it, back in 1993 . Looks the same...same scent.

Yes, it's in the original box & the scent is divine! I've worn this fragrance for abt 10 years.

If you item came wrapped in cellophane, then you received a authentic product. Sometimes, the manufacturer has a bad batch and a few don't smell the same. All of our merchandise comes directly from the manufacturer. I suggest you exchange it for another bottle.

I'm told they changed the formula several years ago, and this is the 'new' fragrance. In my mind, not the fragrance I loved for 20 years. Not sure I'll buy again.

I have been using it for over 20 years. There could be a problem with the lot you got. Mine I purchased is fine but I got it months ago. I have a 4 digit stamp on the bottom. Try and contact the company to complain. If not, send it back for a replacement. My lot number is 2284. I just purchased from perfume Perfumania.com maybe you can try them. But mine from Amazon was fine. Good luck.

Hello, Gina, yes I also have this perfume Creation and love it since I first bought it in 1986 in the US! There are actually two different bottles for this perfume: one of them is just like the one in the picture (which is the older bottle) and the other is round, but I've already had both types and they are both original perfumes. Take care!! Fabiana
