Are early or first batches of fragrance better than it's modern counterparts?

Myths facts and opinions:

More often than not yes!

First edition versions are going to be the closest to the perfumers original creation and vision. When ingredients are removed or restricted, It's like if you were trying to cook a recipe without it's original ingredients expecting it to taste the same.

There are some vintage scents that used natural raw materials in their formulas, that cannot be recreated the same way with synthetic alternatives (oakmoss, patchouli, animalics, myrrh, lavender etc).

You can see from the title picture how reformulations can alter a perfumes appearance, that same rule applies to the smell too!
