Agree with what most have said here, a bit too much vanilla and not enough tobacco compared to the original, although I personally I prefer that, an amazing scent

The original Creed Virgin Island Water is one of, if not my all time favourite fragrance, although the original lime notes smell "cleaner" and less synthetic to me and the whole composition smells more "open" is the only term in my mind I can use to describe what I'm getting, this is as close as you are going to get to the real stuff without spending £90 up for a bottle of the Creed original.
I've never smelled the original M7(2002) although I have smelled the Oud Absolu, which is apparently inferior.
I can say this smells better than the reformulation although obviously can't compare to the original M7. Overall this is an amazing fragrance and I can see why the original is classed as a standard bearing in oud based fragrances if this is anything to go by.
This is lovely, the rose very prominent not over powered by the aoud which is usually the case with aoud, slight medicinal smell of aoud the the rose holding its own here.

Not for me, cannot smell any of the notes listed. Usually love all of PPs perfumes so dont let this review put you off them, usually all spot on. Have not smelt the original so cannot really compare.

Update on my previous review. Wore this side by side with the original formula and there is a slight difference between them, the original is softer, real mysore sandalwood is creamier than the synthetic sandalwood used in todays version of Samsara. But when worn side by side with todays edt version this is virtually spot on. The BIG difference though is that PPs version last longer than the vintage and reformulated, so if your looking for more bang for your buck go for the PP version. Stronger and last on the skin for about 6 to 8hrs as opposed to 2 to 4 of the original.
