Did it come as a spray as well as a splash? Thank you. (and I've used the above dialogue to convince more than one seller that the formulation was, indeed, changed!

Balmain unsniffed. You know, for those casual Fridays in Miami, tho I work in Boston. And the fragrance is just as outstanding as your review! So in my case it's: Belly Laugh .... psssssssst .... "layering" HA! ... psssssssssssssst ... "clogged nozzle"guffaw, snort ... pssssssssssssst ......AHHHHH! Hi Kevin: this review is a masterpiece, and inspired me to buy M. Balmain unsniffed.

I will wait my exploration of this scent I think. A sudden cold snap has descended upon Sydney and the new MB somehow doesn't feel right for now.

I prefer the older version, but I have a bottle of the new version too that I like to wear on hot days. Start with the new one I'd say...you don't want to get attached to the old one now do you?

Should I search out the vintage one or is the latest version a good place to start? I note Mr. Turin says the reformulation by Calice Becker is faithful to the vintage and he highlights these two very notes (lemons and sandalwood) as being features of the scent. Kevin
