I've not tried the new reformulated Jules (why is it so expensive?) and my memories of the original have faded into obscurity so I got my hands on early 90's mini's of both the aftershave and EDT and I have to say they are SUPERB! I have a real penchant for this era, men's stuff and Jules is treating me to everything I love. Addictive, soapy, green leather and perfectly balanced aromats, a suggestion of powdery carnation, moss and twangy musk opening. These are all things you find elsewhere but with Dior there's a certain shine and sparkle to it. The drydown is smooth, clean and powerful, it's a delight and has it's own feel, separated from the Kouros's, Quorum's, Aramis's and Bijan's of the world by a not trying too hard to be too butch. I LOVE IT! Shame the vintage bottles are so pricey but this might have to be added to the list of wants. Lasts, forever and projects very well indeed without being intrusive.
