This is not the Room 237 that I loved so much. The reformulation has lost the magic of the original. The original was fresh, but had a certain kind of sweetness in the plasticky shower curtain note that enveloped me and made me relish in the scent all day. It smelled so clean, but you could sense the warmth of a presence lurking nearby. This new formulation has a sharp note that pierces my senses in a way that certain perfumes do that aggravates me. It’s a note that reminds me of hairspray or perfumes like Aqua di Gio that always hurt my nose. It’s too bright. The sweet freshness and uncanny undertones are gone. The dry down leaves this same sharp note that I just can’t get behind. I have given it some time and there are moments I feel like I can sense the original, but that sharp note takes me out of the experience.

I’m honestly disappointed I purchased a whole bottle and that I have so little left of the original. It’s like seeing a beloved friend become someone else you don’t appreciate. I really do feel a sadness about it. That said, I respect all of Bruno’s work and artistry. I’m just really sad to lose the original Room 237.

This is my second bottle of Room 237 EDP. Which that said I love it 😍
Is so refreshing and different from other fragrances. Is one of my to go fragrances for every occasion.

I needed to try this because of the inspiration behind the scent. I was hoping it would be heavy on the vinyl shower curtain smell, but it’s heavier on the cleaning supplies. Smells like a wealthy person just cleaned a bathroom. Reminds me of the smell on my hands hours after I cleaned an air bnb. Not particularly spooky or creepy. But it is not like other fragrances

Solid perfume. Bought mainly because of the inspiration. Nice everyday scent

I originally picked this up because I am a huge fan of the shining and thought the concept was so original and cool. I’ve now bought several bottles and would consider this my signature scent.

It’s long lasting, fresh, and so unique. I get tons of compliments when I wear this scent! Will be buying again and again!

Very refreshing and very unique.

Love nice it smells and how long it lasts.

It took me so long to find a scent that actually lasts and smells of that perfect balance between clean and subtle. I can't wait to try other scents from the brand and continue to explore!

such a great scent. all I’ve worn for since it arrived. thank you!

Room 237 is absolutely stunning; I bought a full bottle immediately after wearing my sample out to dinner on one of the hottest, muggiest evenings of the summer, and its cloud of herbaceous mystery kept me cocooned for hours. The vinyl shower curtain accord is completely unexpected and so artfully executed, and the dry-down into all of these uncanny herbs is just amazing - as refreshing and head-turning at hour 6 as it was at hour 1. Just exquisite fragrance work, here.

I love this scent! It’s unique, complex, and very wearable. My new secret weapon.

My second favorite perfume. Second only to reviver. Lasts all day.

I am in love with the scent, it is SO clean! I would like there would be alternative sizes, I would like to own this in a 50 or 100ml presentation.
