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

Myths facts and opinions:

More often than not yes!

Within fragrance, the first or early formulations of a scent are going to be the closest to the perfumer's original creation.

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!
