New Haarlem is a unisex fragrance that inspires polarized opinions, with the vintage version earning genuine praise from dedicated fans. However, the 2022 reissue has disappointed some collectors who report the reformulation is noticeably weaker and less projecting than the original, though its return to permanent stock is viewed positively by the community.
