Question:
I used to like it a lot more than I do now. As time went on, I began to smell more and more of that aldehydic opening. Now it bothers me. Plus, it's a bit too powdery for me in the drydown. Midnotes are nice though.
If you want something similiar but a bit richer, spicier, and more natural smelling, I suggest PdN New York.

Answer:
Wife likes the concentree on me but I can't get past the "root beer" note. The original reminds me of an aldehydic Monsieur de Givenchy, which isn't all that surprising since they came out in close proximity {I think}
