I have experience with 4 or 5 discounters, but I've seen recently some lowest-in-class prices from Sensa Beauty and Perfume Empire. A quick search online suggests they're legitimate, but I'd feel much better about buying from them if some of you have first-hand experience and vouch for their products and service.

So Black Orchid EDP is one of my favorite fragrances and actually one of the bedrock ones that got me into the hobby and while I was on my travels I got the opportunity to go through mini a duty-free some of which were very high-end and this is what I noticed: Black Orchid smells like it has been reformulated. It is much closer to the new Reserve when they brought out which has a floral note that is an instant pass for me. When I was at a very high end, duty-free Black Orchid also seemed to have the same note and didn't have that intense chocolatey patchouli darkness at my current bottle has. Skip forward and we're at a different duty free which was much more discount and discontinued, I did see that they had Prada L'Homme Intense for sale for example and the tester bottle of Black Orchid there smelled completely the same as my bottle at home. Anyways, has anyone else noticed that like many of the other fragrances that they don't smell the same since Estee Lauder bought it? I know many of the scents have been reformulated. But say it ain't so for this gem!
