Option Review:13ml Spray I have a decant of the original and comparing Kola Bean to the original on my skin on this rare occasion, I must say I preferred Kola Bean over the original, it is the dry down I prefer, but the opening of the original is effervescent and instantly projects quite strong. Kola Bean starts quite flat but as it warms up starts to project. Both the original and Kola Bean smell almost identical at the midway of the dry down, but start differently and end differently. Kola Bean dries down to a more Spice Bomb Extreme backbone, which I love. The Original though dries down to a musky smell I don't like, so overall I prefer PP's Kola Bean and would recommend it to those looking for a sweet but spicy scent.

Option Review:13ml Spray Smells really nice, like a less bitter and rounder Aventus. But I must of got a bad batch from reading older reviews because it only lasted 2-3 hours on my skin each wearing before it became a skin scent, and to get any projection I had to spray 3 times on the same spot like the inner elbow or wrist, shame because the scent is lovely

Option Review:30ml Spray Extract I have about 15ml or so left of the original CH MP because I'm running out I thought I'd take a gamble on this PP version. So I bought the 15ml Extract as CH MP is well known for its longevity & projection issues, so I thought this would solve those issues, but sadly this PP version isn't close enough yet to the original to be an alternative to the real thing. Side by side Venezuelan Secret is about 70% similar to CH MP. The main issue is it doesn't have a whisky note but instead a pine like note that reminds me of a car freshner. I hope PP work on getting this closer to the original, because the original CH MP is very sort after.
