Where have all the splashes gone?

Back in the jurrasic days I knew a fragrance  rep for who our store was a client. We would go have a drink now and then if our stop was at the end of the day. Back then most top of the line mens fragrances came either in a spray or a splash, whether EdTor EdP.  He told me the splash version contained more of the oils and whatever and they are stronger with longer longevity . I did my own research to verify which was to use sample bottles when I got to work and run my own test. In the end, the splash did last longer and, anecdotal of course,  got more compliments from the ladies....so why are they all spray now?

More oils equates higher cost?
Running two different production lines means higher cost?
A trend towards sprays for the easier application?

I think ease of application plays a large role; people today seem to think that saving a second here or there is worth it in the end (spoiler: it ain't)

Didn't notice that my 200ml splash bottle of Pen's Blenheim Bouquet smells different than my 100ml spray. Also a few my 250ml splash bottles of Creed fragrances smell the same like their 120ml or 75ml spray counterparts. TBH in case of Creeds depend on batches.

I would argue the oil content is likely identical but you perhaps get a more "generous" application using the splash method which is then perceived as being more potent than the equivalent spray... Just a thought.

Anything Creed smelling the same because it is bearing the same label?
Never

Oh no, my friend, read my last sentence in my post once again, please. Just wanted to say if you buy for example Pure White Cologne in 250ml bottle and in the same time/ same batch in 75ml bottle you receive the same juice. Of course, another batch=another juice, but you will receive the same juice independently if you have splash or spray version.

250ml is splash only and 75 ml is spray only, to be clear.

@petronius: agreed

I am glad you agree with me because I respect you.

Thanks for your kind words, Petronius!
