How perform new batch of ambre Sultan? I have heard that it has been badly reformulated

[@realscentreview]

Hi there!
I only have experience with my current batch. I have no problems with performance and I haven't heard any reliable information that makes me think it's been reformulated - although the fragrance was released in 1993, so I guess it could be possible.
I will say that it took a few months of maturing inside the bottle after I'd released a few sprays [to allow a bit of air inside the bottle] for the ingredients to really mix together strongly. This can happen with delicate herbal notes and complex amber accords sometimes.

Hi. How is Reserve Privée in comparison to Bentley for Men Intense ? Differences - both are boozy with a touch of alcohol.

[@realscentreview]

Very good question.
They are both quite similar (both are products of Nathalie Lorson).
Bentley is woodier, herbal, spicy and there's a touch of incense. There is a bit of spiced rum, but it isn't overly strong.
Givenchy has less wood and spices, and lacks herbs and incense. Also, there is distinct iris and whisky. The woodiness is less than in Bentley.
However, after the opening notes die down, the overall smells are very similar - both have a woody, slightly sweet drydown with slight touches of powder.
