Sometimes I think the perfume industry is pulling the wool over the eyes of those of us (and the public) by using less essential oil in their formulation. However, when I recently purchase the eau de parfum concentration of Christian Dior's Eau Sauvage, I ended up sending that one back because it was definitely NOT an eau de parfum, but more of a skinscent which did not last more than 15 minutes! Even though the box says eau de parfum doesn't mean it's a lasting fragrance. It seems nowadays you have to purchase an eau de parfum for them to have any lasting quality. I will return any and all fragrances that don't live up to the staying power that I remember. I purchased a couple of bottles however, it was NOT the same Calvin for Men that I remembered and it lasted less than 15 minutes, compared to all day with the original Calvin for Men. ![]() The same thing occurred when Calvin Klein re-released Calvin for Men some years ago. They may have kept the name Paradise, but I believe they've skimped on the essential oil without telling us. Now, after many years and purchasing it again at one of the perfume spots on the internet, it seems as they is any lasting essential oil in the formulation. ![]() ![]() I remember this being quite a powerhouse and lasting all day on me (this is when the fragrance first came out and I purchased it at Dillards in Dallas, Texas). Once they move into obscurity, like this one, it seems the perfume companies start to back off on the amount of essential oil they include in the formulation. As with most of the "department store" fragrances I've purchased in the past, they seem to have more essential oil when these fragrances are initially launched.
