Is this the original scent first sold in the 80s?

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.

Yes, It was an original. It does last all day. It is the best fragrance ever!! My husband has been using it for years. I use the Angel for women and get compliments every day!

Well Sandra, I think it is original (I didn't know about a new version) because it smells the same to me. Wish they hadn't changed the bottle design though.

No, this is not the original scent. I don't use it as I don't care for this new formula.

With all my respect to the other people that answer is authentic, is not. I being using this fragrance since 1983. Even the bottle they send me is not authentic. Maybe you purchase from another vendor but the one I received is not authentic. It smell ok but not like the real one and it does not last long like the original.

It has a wonderful scent that reminds me of something from my childhood. I can't remember what or where I've smelled it, but I really like it.

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.

Yes it appeared to be the original packaging and unopened but I remember it was leaking around the top when I opened it. I am going to update my original response because I've noticed now that I've had it for months and it has been sitting the fragrance last a lot longer.

No. Much earlier than that! Don't quote me, but I would say it came out in the mid-eighties.

If you buy it from Norell it will be the original DO NOT chance buying it from any other website it does not smell the same!!

To my understanding it is the older version. I know it was reformulated. The one currently sold in department stores smells slightly different.

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

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

This is certainly the original fragrance and not a knock off. I purchased this for my girlfriend after the one I bought at the department store for her went empty.

Not sure actually, I have always carried the green bottle but I think it's the "original". Looking around on the web, they make other scents etc, but I like the original green bottle unscented.

The bottle appeared to be authentic. The scent was not as strong as I remembered and did not last as long. Sorry. I wish I could be more helpful I have worn it for many years and it just came back on the market recently, Hopefully, it is true Patou

I agree with Peter. I love this scent, as well. It is original, and one of my favorites. I have to refrain from wearing it all the time.
