Of course the label on the bottle has been redesigned a little bit. After several adjustments I can say with certainty that between 2000 and 2020 DN was operated on three times - more questions? Both the spray and roll-on smell fantastic and project really well. The longevity is also excellent and lasts for around 8 hours!
