Correct. To my nose it's nothing like the original scopex

John's Milky1 has always been the better flavour than Toppex for me.

I don't think anything really smells like RH scopex, there are scopex flavours and 'the scopex'.
The bottles I have are at the very least 23 years old, not the tall bottle with white lid, the shorter 50ml one with light blue label and 6 eggs on the side.
I think even then there were cries of 'its not the same'
I had a waft only last week, hmm hmm hmm
It's been 14 or 15 years since I happened by Johnson Ross, perhaps time has dulled the memory,
I stopped smoking in 2013..nothing has smelled the same (or had the lack of smell) since..
I bought Plum, Crab, Banana, Pineapple, Frost & Flood and a talin sweetener, this for sure because I still have the remnants of all but F&F.
Must have been just before JB changed over to the aluminum bottles and upped the prices.

ask John Baker about Scopex, he knows more about it's original makeup than anyone - and that includes Rod Hutchinson............

I hope John does know more about Scopex than anyone else as he formulated the original flavour for Hutchy.

If this is true, and I stand to be corrected, But I seem to remember reading, or listening to something JB said, that out of respect to Rod he would never copy the original formula/recipe for Scopex nowadays, try to make a close copy, but not the ORIGINAL..
Obviously, some of the ingredients may not be allowed, or available in 2026 to do so.

"If you are all sitting comforably, we'll start the bidding for this bottle of Scopex at £1.99..." 😂
There's some original S+O Koi Rearer in the mushroom tray behind it too...
@TCarper - maybe you could make me some special specials with these old flavours?
