This is more zingy and bright in comparison to the original, especially in the opening, but that dies down not that long after. Two to three sprays from the OG last all day, whereas I have to spray this multiple times and reapply after an hour or two for it to smell and project. This is an easy to go to for a bright and summer-y scent, I actually like it a lot. Just doesn't match up to the OG. At the same time, OG is much more expensive and hardly available.
This smells like a Mojito you would buy in Cuba from a stall on the beach on a very hot day with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, whereas OG would be the overpriced Mojito you'd get at a poolside bar at an intercontinental, fancy Hotel.
