I ordered this for my fiance for valentine's day. It's $80 in stores, so this was almost half the price. I was a little afraid it would smell "stale" (old, with a strong alcohol aroma) since I've had problems with that in buying fragrances online. It smelled exactly as it does in the store. It was a new, fresh bottle, not one sitting on the shelf for years. And, to my pleasant surprise, it came with a travel size version, sample of another Varvatos fragrance and a really nice travel tote! It was more than I expected. Couldn't be happier!
