I have been using this Patchouli for many years as it was top of the top patchouli's. I always use the big bottle. In 2023 SMN introduced a new bottle and in my opinion it was a bad decision. The old bottles were more elegant, whereas the new ones have stickers which fade and get destroyed very easily. A plus is the new atomizer as the old ones sometimes leaked. However, the old ones sprayed more liquid in one push - I used to buy a bottle once per 3 months and now I do it once every 6 months. This is probably not too good for the SMN so why have they done it? And last but not least - once the bollte changed, I beleive the smell also changed - in my opinion it is not the same fragrance as it used to be, or at least I feel a difference. Maybe there were some legal regulations which imposed changes in content of these perfumes or else it was a poor business decision. Nevertheless it is still very long lasting. All in all I still use this fragrance and I like it very much!
