Euphoria Collector Edition 2016

no, the original has no whipped cream in it, so this must be a cremier, better and hopefully more sensual version of the original. maybe just slightly different, considering the notes...not bad! cant wait to try.. I have ssen this already last month in a department store....didnt know this is another scent, as they didnt have a tester, thought it would be just a colletor eddition bottle of the original and teh sale assistant told me the same.lol gotta go back and blind buy this gem!

I bought this today by chance thinking that the difference from the original was only the shiny metallic collector's edition bottle. I used Euphoria several years ago and maybe can't quite remember the scent now, but I think they seem to be pretty similar. The signature Euphoria's tart fruity sweetness and floral seductiveness on the woody base is here, pomegranate is definitely prominent, as well as orchid and lotus. But the musk is switched in favor of whipped cream, and I think it works this way quite well too. It is creamy and less masculine in the dry-down. Now I want to find the original Euphoria again so as to compare side by side since I am curious about what Japanese Loquat and Champaca notes are adding to this limited edition, or how they smell. UPDATE: I'll be returning this. Even though the notes are almost the same in the description, I feel that this is too synthetic smelling in general and has harsh alcohol smell on the initial spritz. The dry down is much more pleasant, but I just can't get past the initial strong alcohol smell. I somehow missed this nuance the first day I was testing it out since I was mainly looking for similarities or differences with the original Euphoria (in my memory). Also, longevity and sillage are just barely moderate, unlike the original.
