I know of at least four versions: the original from 1955, the "Angel" version from the 90's, a modified Angle-dup from right after the lawsuit and the pink-bottle version from about 2004 (and they may have changed it again since then, at least I think I've seen different packaging, which seems to be the sign of a new formula with Molinard.)

I thought it was because of the green note, related to the Iris and LOTV. I really don't get any vanilla from Odalisque, which for me makes the No. 5 comparison a stretch.

I'll have to give it another sniff when their new scent comes in next month. I have not smelled BR BW, other than very briefly on a card!

Lucky you! I didn't think Pierre Cardin still made this fragrance. I wonder if it's been updated since the early '80s. Any idea? I've never smelled the YSL Opium Pour Homme.

The far drydown of Banana Republic's Black Walnut and Riverside Drive? (I mention this because I love Black Walnut and I had some on my left arm earlier. It was applied about six hours ago. I just smelled my arm and though "I don't remember putting Riverside Drive on!") Or CdG Man 2 and Gucci pour Homme? How about…
