Get Wild scent question

I’ve personally never smelled Get Wild. Unfortunately it must’ve not been successful enough because it was discontinued. I’d like to know however for anyone that did use it, what would be the closest modern equivalent? Scents have changed so much in the last 30 years. Polo green has changed, Coolwater has changed, what’s popular has changed.

The reviews were not good but you can occasionally find an unopened "collector" item online.

Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.

I found another bottle of 3121 the other day when I was clearing out a closet. Still in the box.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Never smelled it. I did like the base notes of 3121, the top notes came on a bit strong, though.

It smelled like how I imagine a stripper would smell. Kind of cheap, and not dissimilar to hairspray.

Yeah, I remember going to the NPG store in Camden in the late 90s and thinking 'what the hell? Why does Prince have a PERFUME for God's sake? Where's all the hard to find music that this place should be selling?! lol

I remember smelling Get Wild there and thinking it was awful. Floral, sickly, someone said like a stripper... I'd say, like a stripper who went home after work and didn't shower.

Anyway, I thought it was terrible. But then, I don't really like perfume. lol

I had Get Wild back in the day and I remember it being very strong and an unusual mix of feminine and masculine. It had a unique blend of floral, oriental spice, patchouli, and maybe some kind of musk or sandalwood as well. I didn't wear it often as it was too strong for my senses but did end up giving it to a friend who loved it and used every drop. LOL The bottle was fun as it had a furry white cap like what Morris Hayes was wearing at the time.

It's over 10 years old. Probably just a strong sweet rubbing alcohol now. The box and bottle are nice. They were selling them at Big Lots quite a while ago.
