Hey! I'm not sure what the original scent smelled, like, but all I know is I took a big risk buying this, as it was referred by my friend to give my husband as a gift, and as soon, I mean as soon as I test sniffed it, a wide smile spread across my face. I couldn't help it! It's a nature- filled, springy yet masculine scent with a twinge of citrus, and if I'm being honest, Im really not a big fan of zesty scents, but this one has just the right amount, and in essence, it balances the whole scent. Its not too strong, in my opinion, which is great. I see different reviews saying the scent is too light, but as a wife? It's just right. Who wants their husband to be drenched in cologne, thus attracting every female in the room? Not I lol. I'm exaggerating a bit, but it really is a pleasant smell. Just enough for his nose and mine. Wives: I recommend taking a chance. Single men: you may want to spray on a little extra for the desired affect
