doesn't compare. This is in its own league
You sure is poor performance or you just going nose blind to it. This happens quite often tbh. I have over 100 bottles, new and old, biche and designer. People always tell me I smell good but I can't smell anything
Pro tip: check the batch codes for mfg date, it's usually 1-2 years old (at least). That translates into decreased overall performance, sometimes significantly depending on the synthetic molecules used in the recipe.
Soure: chem background.
Many companies will actually reformulate fragrances over time, keeping the same scent but adjusting percentages of ingredients (such as more alcohol, less fragrance oil.. or substituting one for another), generally resulting in a shorter-lasting fragrance.
Many will actually seek out older batches as they're a bit more sought after and in demand. Many fragrances will last well over 10 years. I have a few partial bottles from the 80's/90's that smell incredible still, and compared to todays releases of the same scents are definitely my go-to.
Most fragrances have a 'freshness' date, but that seems to be from the date it's first used rather than the date it was packaged. Something like 3-5 years from first spray.. and these will often only be to guarantee the scent remains up to their standards.
Much moreso than the age of the fragrance is the importance of keeping it out of direct sunlight and heat (don't keep it in your car or by your open windows) and keeping it out of the bathroom/cabinets.

if thats out of your budget, then Crafted Oud from Zaffiro (Maison Alhambra, who also makes Woody Oud, direct clone. unsure on performance).
I own Crafted Oud, Superb quality at under <$40 price point. In my Top 5 of 20-25 bottles. Thank God.
The craziest part is, this isn't even real Oud. This is Western take on Oud. Similar to Oud for Greatness by Initio. Completely Westernized and even that I think is too much.
Real Oud is basically unwearable unless you grew up around it. Smells terrible by our westernized noses. They're used in Mostly Middle East and some Asian countries.

The mix of humidity and constant temperature changes can supposedly affect them.
Not sure how common this is in real-life.. I know some people take extremes when storing them (putting them back in the original box, in a dresser inside of a dark closet.. other people keep them in a minifridge?)
The biggest no-no seems to be keeping it out of direct sunlight and avoiding wild temperature changes, but I've always heard to never store it in a bathroom. Most of the fragrance retailers will also suggest this. I've kept mine in bathrooms for a few years and I can't really say if they've changed at all, but I've absolutely had fragrances go bad from having a travel spray in my car during the summer.
