I agree 100% with the reviewer that rated this product badly, in my case the perfume is way too old as well. It was poor judgement on my part since I remember the date was advertised, I ordered it anyway since this particular perfume isn't made anymore for women, it is either for men or Eau de Adrien for women. When I used it 8 years ago, it was a heavenly fragrance, everybody asked me: What are you wearing? I love it!. This old bottle has lost all the citrus fresh tones, because of old age I am pretty sure, and all that is left are the heavy base notes, very spicy and kind of rancid. I am thinking about using it as closet deodorizer, since hurts me to through it away.
