I'm only aware of one that has Black currant and bergamot in the top notes, and the 'new' one that is pineapple heavy. It wouldnt surprise me if they made some sort of inbetween scent or lied about what they gave you.

I think Dante is his real name. The ebay store's username is watchdante.

My gut tells me Garry puts up with it because I doubt this is his main gig. He probably sends out shipments on the way to his day job. If he can make money from S1ck without doing anything then thats a good setup.
His website situation is beyond fucked up... I offered to help in trade for some mones. Maybe he can hook me up with v1 AQ after all ;)

or maybe he took on the name Dante so he can conduct the shady business. Or maybe Dante is Jonny's employee and even Jonny doesn't know that this is going on

Garry's website seemed to be fucked up since 2017, and still ongoing until Garry finds a new online merchant service

The other weird thing is how they handled the v2 launch. You'd think they would have a big sale to clear out all the v1 inventory before they launched v2 OR add a dropdown option so that people can choose between v1 and v2 until it runs out. But nope, v1 is still sitting around "in the back" many years later. That makes zero sense to me.

Well, when I was told that they were changing the scent back in 2020, they just told me that they are adding more bergamut to the scent for a more citrus theme, but I guess that completely changed the scent

I think after my current bottle run out, I will just buy Garry's stuff

He hasn't responded since the 19th so I sent him a nudge... he replied with only a cut off section of a prior email in the thread. Not sure if that's actually his answer or if he meant to send something else.

Seems I can't edit my original post unfortunately.

Resolution:

Turns out Dante is a sales associate. Jonny Dulay, aka Jonny Truelove, is the owner. Jonny replied, very apologetic, explaining that they've had some issues with Dante. Most notably, that Dante ran the ebay store, and recently got the store banned by selling watches... Jonny sent me scented v1 which arrived today.

Problem is, it's not the original scent. Sigh. I was very straight forward about wanting v1 because of the formula and because of the Bergamot / Black Currant scent. Side by side comparison: v2 and v1 smell the same (the pineapple scent) but the scent in v2 is more concentrated. I'm annoyed that there was no forethought here and I got the wrong thing... again... even after talking to the owner and mentioning that I wanted v1, scented, Black Currant / Bergamot.

So... all in all, this is still a miss. I'm just going to cut my loss here. I'm tired of wasting time and money and still couldn't get the thing I asked for at the end of the day.
