A flanker is not just a new bottle size
A different bottle size or package alone does not create a new fragrance. The term is normally used for a distinct edition within an established fragrance line.
Intense, Elixir and Parfum do not always mean the same thing
These words are part of product naming, but they do not guarantee one concentration percentage or one scent direction across every brand.
A flanker can be close to the original or very different
Some editions keep the central idea with a small adjustment, while others change the notes and overall mood substantially.
Match the full product name before buying
Check the brand, line name, edition name, concentration and size. A similar-looking bottle is not enough.
Compare the exact edition
When reading a review or comparison, make sure it covers the version you plan to buy rather than the original or a different flanker.

Do not assume Intense always means stronger or Elixir always means heavier. Check the actual edition and how it smells.
