Maybe it was a bad batch (mistakes do happen) or perhaps even old and/or sat in the sun or got overheated somehow. Same thing happened with a bottle of Channel #22 which I purchased via ebay since I couldn't get to Europe to get my supply - turns out it was a VERY old bottle and the scent just wasn't the same. Purchased a new bottle recently and all's well again. Let's hope that RL didn't change Lauren, it was one of my favorites too. Now I'll have to give the testers a whirl next time I'm out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-64270986162775546332009-04-26T14:40:00.000-05:002009-04-26T14:40:00.000-05:00Probably a new licensee (most designers don't ...Probably a new licensee (most designers don't manufacture their own fragrances, sunglasses, etc.).

I just restocked back in September at the Polo outlet and everything was kosher scent wise. Is this a recent turn of events? I will have to go into mourning if they've retired the original scent! Omg, I'm going to have to buy every bottle off the outlet shelf the next time I drive thru Queenstown as a precautionary measure. I just went from an extreme high from receiving your award to a real low.
