I watched Tova a few nights ago late at night in California.  She continued to say how the Tova Signature perfume has 28% essential oils and how long lasting it is.  I was a Tova Signature loyal customer for decades ad I'm sorry but it is not the same as it was and does not last.  Her long time customers know what is smelled like and how you could see the essential oils on our skin and the scent even lasted days later on your clothes. I know she is there to sell but it is unfair to keep insisting that it has remained the same all these years when has not.  It was my favorite fragrance and I am sad and angry that it has changed so drastically, many of the the reviews are not good and Tova and QVC does nothing to bring back the original.  QVC is losing a lot of customers because of the change.  Tova, please, please bring back the orignal long lasting fragrance.

Tova Nights was my signature fragrance for years.  Now it's so diluted it (1) does not even smell the same and (2) has no staying power.

 

They have the real thing online for more than $200.  The bottles have been there for a long time and I now wonder if they are now rancid.

Unfortunately, TOVA changes many years ago. Many of us have complained. I would never purchase it again.

Tova was my signature scent. Nothing I have tried since has gotten me the compliments that the original TOVA did. That ship has sailed, sadly.

I think that's true of a lot of fragrances today.  Unfortunately....  When it says "Parfum" I always assumed that the oil percentages had to meet a standard requirement but I'm finding that isn't true.   Some "perfumes" out there just don't last... I go to the counter to test one and a couple hours later there is no fragrance on my hand.... sad.

Government requirements for perfume ingredients changed years ago and the companies must abide by the rules.  They needed to change the formulas or cease production.  I believe this enters into the change in your favorite perfumes?

I wore Tova's fragrances for years and received compliments.  Still have some.  I will no longer take a chance on ordering since reading comments about the difference and that they no longer smell the same or last at all.   I wish her skincare line would return.

Never tried the "old" TOVA, but have to say I use the current version and the Summer version with great success! Complimented all the time!

Maybe Tova operates under the assumption that if you tell a lie often enough and long enough, eventually people will believe it.

I wore Tova Signature for years and then noticed that it didn't smell the same.  I thought either my body chemistry changed or the Tova formula changed.  Got so many compliments over the years and was sad when I stopped buying/wearing it.

I still like it but I know there have been complaints.
