The take

What works

  • Myrrh-vetiver-oakmoss combo gives the original some teeth
  • Beast longevity in a category that usually disappears
  • The Eau Sauvage for someone who needs it to last past 2pm

Trade-offs

  • Lost the airy DNA that made the original a summer classic
  • Dense myrrh can become headache-inducing in warmth
