I have never smelt the original of this fragrance. But this I bought on a whim, so glad I did. It's leather, but tastefully executed, it's Rose,perfectly balanced, it's sweet without being cloying or something resembling a candy store. A delightful fragrance for me, anytime, but now for the summer, just right. Long lasting on me, I would get delightful wafts whenever I moved. Palermo you must have amazing noses! Simply gorgeous.
