Is this different than the original flower essences?

I am Flower Essence practitioner and in my opinion Healing Herbs by Julian Barnard are one of the best, if not the best, 38 Bach Flower Essences. Made following Dr Bach's original method, by hand, with great care in the UK and distributed in the US the the Flower Esence Society in California, another reputable source of Flower Essences. You can check both these websites for more info. I highly recommend this product. I hope this helps. Best, Flor Taboada, NYC

I never really noticed a difference. I started using Sambucus when, for some reason, Sambucol became unavailable. When it again became available I switched back to it since it was the original which I knew most of the time worked. I don't haven any definite examples, but I felt like the original worked a tad better. Nothing's 100%, but I think it does help.

I don't believe the fragrance has changed but the packaging is probably the "new" version.

Are you asking whether this is an imitation fragrance or the original from Dior? Not sure what you mean by "version in a bottle", but yes, it was original packaging and fragrance when I received it. :)

Well Sandra, I think it is original (I didn't know about a new version) because it smells the same to me. Wish they hadn't changed the bottle design though.

I just purchased this. When it arrived it was the ADVANCED formula with FRAGRANCE. I called the sending company and they said that GOJO-PURELL has discontinued the ORIGINAL (unscented) but has used the same item numbers. The selling company is going to contact Amazon to request this item picture be changed. I am very disappointed with this switch. Why do companies give "new and improved" when we like the old product better?!Another clarification note: Upon use, it has a strong rubbing alcohol odor (like the original)--when that dissipates the scent is very, very mild, nearly unscented...but there is some scent included.

I have been buying this perfume from Amazon, for years. I have received both original and tester bottles, depending on which supplier. I ordered from. I haven't found the tester bottles, to be any different, than original packaging.

In my opinion, it is not the same scent. It bears a faint resemblance to the older product, but not nearly as strong.

I can't say why someone can't compare the original one to this one. But I can say... Do these people truly know what the original is like? I bought a number of perfumes I always try to buy EDP instead of EDT. Some of them work with my body chemistry some don't. But because it doesn't work on my body I can't say its fake. I can say that the flower bomb I purchased here smells really good and I pinch it cause I want it to last me a very long time and the scent stays.

I wondered the same thing when it arrived, because it "seemed" different. So I did some online research and it appears to have been reformulated a long time ago. Good news is that it still smells great, and I'm still receiving compliments on it.

No, It's not. I actually have a bottle of the real original 1997 copyright clairol stuff that I bought from Drugstoredotcom when they were liquidating the old stock back in 2008 (bought 7 bottles). The real stuff does NOT have glycerine in it. The correct ingredients are water, alcohol, camphor, peppermint oil, clove oil, eugenol, sodium benzoate, yellow 5, orange 4. I was fooled by the bottle here since the design is like the '70s bottle and not like the ones I have in hand but the ingredients are wrong. I think the glycerine is what makes the newer versions sticky, which I can't stand. Sure wish I'd bought more! :( No, It's not.

No, this is not the original scent. I don't use it as I don't care for this new formula.

The packaging is identical, and it seems like it should be the original product, but the perfume has reacted VERY differently than the perfume i tried on in the stores. I have to put on many sprays, and the scent dissipates very quickly. When I tested the perfume at Macy's and Ulta, both times it lasted all day long and smelled lovely. With this bottle, I could use 10 sprays, and it doesn't last but a few hours. This leads me to believe it is counterfeit, even though everything looks legitimate. Also, I bought mine directly from Amazon.com as the seller. I wouldn't think Amazon would sell a counterfeit perfume without labeling it as such, but I guess I could be wrong! Ultimately, I'm very disappointed.

Do not know if there is any difference. Actually did not notice any packaging difference either. The fragrance is very neutral and subtle. Overall a superb product. There is hardly anything equivalent.

If you buy it at the store now, it will be the newer one unless they have old stock (doubtful). The new one absorbs better than the lavender but I do miss the lavender scent. I have had great results from both formulas.

Yup. It isn't as it is pictured. I'm not sure I got the real stuff. I didn't see much/ any impact on any of my flowers or vegetables.
