I have been using Wind Song cologne since I was 18 years old - I will be 75 years old next month. The last three times that I bought Wind Song it didn't smell the same. Have you change the ingredients? I received compliments everywhere I went telling...

I wish I could help you. Wind Song "was" one of my favorites. I had a cardboard tube of Wind Song body powder and I absolutely loved it. It had the loveliest smell. I could use it like cologne. I liked to put it on my arms and chest at night and it smelled good all night and the next morning. I understood from the sales clerks they didn't make it any more. So I ordered the body powder--2 times--the first one didn't smell nearly good as what I had before, and the second one I have now I just don't like at all. The odor is actually a little offensive to me. I thought maybe I had changed somehow. I have used the cologne and also think there is a change in the scent and the time it lasts on me. So I have been disappointed, too. I didn't get in touch with the company but that may the only way to find out what it going on. I think we could Google it. But you are right, there has been changes in their Wind Song products. Sadly. Mary Ann Froelich

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.

YES! OMG! I swear, I have had it for almost a year and it is the same still on a scortching hot day here in Florida, I still smell it. Granted it has drastically lost the smell, but it is still there on a hot hot day.

Ugh, wish I had read the previous answers before I bought this stuff. It really is a wretched smell - like old-lady perfume gone bad. Made me wonder if Amazon is keeping it on the shelves too long or something. I really wanted to like this product but can hardly stand the "fragrance."

I've been buying viva for years and this just doesn't smell the same at all to me :(

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.

Not to me. Because l had not used for years..l was anxious to use it again. Perhaps my memory went bad .but the White Shoulders that l purchased had no aroma at all...certainly nothing like my previous White Shoulders...which l had always used and loved. Could it be my age????

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

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. Zane, I'm sorry to say...but, unless this is old perfume (like over a year old), it is not the old version.

Hi, Susan. Yes to your question! I have 3 nephews ( in their 30's) living in my late sister's house who love this fragrance! I order it for me and end up giving it to them! So please have your brother experience it!

I had originally bought this about 10 years ago in a macys and I loved it so much I kept buying it my last purchase was made over amazon and I felt that this cologne was watered down and it smelled different, it doesnt stick to your clothes for a long period the max is an hour. I would reconsider this purchase and bay for the one listed with a greater price as those have a possibility if being authentic.

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.

No, I do not -- but it could be some of us ole geezzers stopped using it (1960's & up) because of the demand for new & newer fragrances. This is not overly oppressive when worn, very gentle. I have seen the soap in a superstore & they raised the price (naturally). I only have seen the cologne on Amazon. I love it during the spring & summer

Manny it does last 6-12 hours. It has good lavender & woodhue scent I wear it stronger then most because I don't like to leave a cocktail party smelling like a over sized ashtray on my clothing. I have always received compliments some times people will ask me what cologne I am wearing. My wife likes it. We have tried all the new stuff but keep coming to our old faithful.. I have worn it since 1982 when it came out. I hope that you too will have it as the one you enjoy

Never heard of :Stay Fresh" I just purchased my replacement less than two months ago and it does not smell like perfume. Can't help you on this but will check it out for future Ref. Does this make your cloths smell of perfume?

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.

Fragrance seems to last very long time. I misplaced one bottle for a year and when I reopened it, the odor was still strong. I use it for breathing difficulties and that bottle worked just fine. Hope that answers your question.
