Vintage DecantsPerfume reformulations 101:
**Note exact dates for reformulations may vary up to three years within the date I've listed depending on brand, or fragrance.(Per Ifra regulations)**
The changes implemented in mid-2016 significantly impacted numerous perfumes. As new regulations introduced restrictions and removals of several fixatives and compounds. This led to a noticeable decline in the depth and longevity of many fragrances.
Key ingredients such as Lilial, Limonene, Eugenol, Coumarin, and Citral were severely restricted and there was a complete removal of a compound known as Lyral.
As a result of this change, well-known perfumes such as YSL's Nuit L'homme and Armani's Code EDT including numerous others experienced a noticeable decline in longevity and depth.
*To spot this reformulation I would suggest using a batch code website to check the code on your bottle. Search for batches made before 2016. Be careful though, the reformulation started happening sometime in the middle of 2016 for a lot of perfumes.
