Spoiler alert: I think that LIVE PLATINUM has the edge over the original Live fragrance, as - though it is quite similar to it - this is less harsh and is easier to wear. I still really like the spiciness of the original, but the contrasts in this wintery cool edition appeals to me more...
It's a shame this is a limited edition and didn't seem to get a regular Uk release; I wish I'd bought more bottles for backups when I saw it in the US a few years ago, as it has already become very hard to find, so I save my bottle for special occasions. I'll have to haunt Ebay for it in the not-too-distant future...
