This is a new 3.3 oz bottle that has never been sprayed, but is not in the box.  It is out of my private collection and is new never used. This batch is from 2013 and not only is the quality Excellent the smell is Amazing! Different batch's will have slight variations and the 2012-2013 batch's are of the same formulation. I have every formulation and have tested them extensively. This fragrance has very good performance, but I have also found it to be smoother and more pleasing than even original formulations which is heavier on some of the spices and can come off harsh in the opening. Longevity is a solid 8-10 hours with projection being excellent as well.
