Pure Havane 2010 (Vintage) Vs 2014 (1st Reformulation)

[@TheChazas]

Pure Havane together with Naxos are my NR1 fragrances ever. I do have a Limited Edition first batch of Pure Havane from 2011 and a re-released batch from 2014 too. Limited Edition has more cherry and syrupy vanilla honey, 2014 is about the same but has a little less cherry and more cacao. Either 2011 and 2014 have huge performance, but 2011 is a true beast and simply niche quality, but 2014 is a worthy bottle too. Have 11 Mugler fragrances including with "Les Exceptions" Hot Cologne which is a truly under the radar gem. A lot of people complain about the sprayer, but for me it is phenomenal, never had a problem nor a thought about cutting and ruining the flask, it is just about placing the finger in the right place, not even needing to pushing hard, it always sprays a huge blast and distributes very well. Great video, enjoy the Limited Edition batch, truly one of a kind.

You are relentless, Joy! 😁 I hope you come up with a list of your favorite frags based on fragrance notes. Like a top 10 favorite fragrance notes and your favorite bottles with those notes in them.

[@Dee--Jay]

We got to start buying fragrances within the 1st yr or two of its release. If not, we run risk of getting a reformulation

[@blackknightdl]

What other would you suggest buying now

[@Jtdubbzz]

Love the box. Looks like a cigar lol. Just bought a 2012 batch of Pure Havane and Pure Malt. Both 99% full. Super pumped

[@jakes311]

Where do you usually buy your vintage fragrances from?

[@ضياءعلي-ض1ن]

I would like if you held the two versions together in order to differentiate between the boxes. Many thanks.

Sir appreciate you for ur Hardwork Ek number Bhai aap ho God always bless you with gud health .wealth n Happiness in ur life forever.

[@beefcurtainz69]

What!?! This frag was reformulated too? Never knew that.

[@chippytucker6318]

NO, it was NOT, don't listen to You Tubers, the only thing that changed,was the name on the box, period. These guys THINK they know, but no clue.

[@PerfectlyFreedom]

Almost every fragrance reviewer and enthusiast knows it's been reformulated. Check fragrantica's comment section on Pure Havane and you'll see tons of newer batches' confessions.

[@eljefe5858]

@@chippytucker6318 actually the batch code format also changed on 2014

[@oceansoflorewi]

@@chippytucker6318 Youre the fool the reformulation goblins rely on. Every single damn fragrance I have fallen for has multiple formulations. Its not an illusion.

Hey Joy,Dave from Pennsylvania, does the drydown change on any of the Mugler fragrance's , I only have Pure Coffee which is awesome but stays the same all day long. I like how a frags drydown changes like the Bvlgari frags except the Amara smells the same all day as well. I like how a frag goes sharp to powder,Stay Safe Brother.

[@viennacalling85]

Cutting the rubber was a good tip. I am going to cut my ones tomorrow. It is really a pain in the a*** to spray the rubber bottles from Mugler :D

[@ultrawidegaming7894]

I managed to get the vintage formulation today sealed , dont even want to open it

[@frankieknuckles9446]

Yep , my new bottle from from “Mugler” is not the Pure Havane of the past. One of my favorite scents a fainting memory- Peace

[@MichaelRodriguez-ci3dr]

We need a video on Azzaro wanted by night

[@jayward238]

I just bought a bottle of Dior Homme Parfum new in the box from a trusted friend. I paid $150. Do you think it was worth the investment?

[@LeMale96]

You might have paid more than it's original price. Dior Homme Parfum, to me, is one of the best fragrances from the Dior line, or even in comparison to other designer fragrances. It's very masculine, even with the rose note. In the end, no one's opinion matters, except yours because you're the one buying it. If you like it, you like it.

Please could you tell me the batch code etc. of the vintage 2010 version?

[@kensprings8667]

That's a lot of sprays you're suggesting there Joy and this is a powerhouse of a fragrance (2nd formulation), I normally go with 2 sprays, 1 behind each ear, on a cold winter day and I'm set for more than 10 hours.

[@stephanuswidjaja105]

my batch 2017-11. 5 spray on my skin, after 1 hour its a skin scent.

I HATE THESE COMPANIES REFORMING GOOD FRAGRANCES.........SHIT.....I'M LOSING FAITH

[@jeremyhinze8837]

Lol there is literally no difference people its called placebo effect, had both no real difference.

[@mwpahl38]

Actually it always happens, it's usually a sum of business reasons, such as: -Increased costs of certain components. -Decreased availability of some components. -Changing tastes among target consumers -Desire to appeal to new consumers -Meeting new regulations -Sales to regions with different regulations -Falling profitabilty demands lower costs. Reformulations are, over a long enough time, inevitable, because component availability is constantly changing, and components themselves (especially naturals) are always morphing, and both of these force formulas to change in response.
