No worries, the scent will smell pretty much the same but I believe around the early 2000s there were regulations related to allergens and so reformulations were sometimes necessary and the scent changed a bit because all the ingredients weren’t the same. My bigger complaint is that I find overall the scent doesn’t seem to last nearly as long as it used to. I’ve worn Shalimar pretty much everyday since the early 1980s so over the years I’ve noticed the scent has changed slightly through the decades as they’ve tinkered with the formula here and there. I still prefer how long the vintage stuff lasts so I use that if I’m going out or to a special event. Otherwise it’s the current EDP for me.
