If society has shown me anything, it’s that after all ideas are used up, we go back to vintage products 🤣
Vintage is the best
Facts
I actually nabbed a bottle of boss number one and I absolutely adore it. It came out when I wasn't even remotely alive yet. It's really a favorite of mine now and benefit is that my wife loves it too. In fact, she liked it well before I did but it grew on me. Wife and I are in our 20s so maybe our friends don't, but we do 😂.
how did bro get the creed aventus emoji
@@jourdinthedragonThat one is a killer!!!💪🏼
I still wear drakkar noir here and there and It still brings in compliments. I was born in the early 80s and it speaks to me.
Great video! Polo by Ralph Lauren went missing in this list...the famous green bottle with the polo player and the gold cap. Iconic in the mid 80's.
1. Ralph Loren - Monogram
2. Drakkar Noir
3. Lagerfeld Photo
4. Obsession
and on and on. Glad I grew up in the 80s. So many great scents
Facts brother
I am still loving Davidoff cool water to this day, don’t care what anyone says , I get compliments more now than ever before because it’s not as common now as it used to be so it stands out now 👍🏻 .
Always keep one in your set guys .
80s baby right here. Drakkar Noir reminds me of my dad for some reason. He may have worn that or something else with similar notes. Love the way it smells, too!
If you wanna stand out from the crowd you gotta go with the classics. Fahrenheit is one of a kind. There’s a reason it still sells today and at premium prices. One of my all time favourites.
Well said!!! I even shelled out the money recently for a vintage bottle!
I'm a woman and I love Fahrenheit on me. There's nothing like it.
I agree!
Yep it’s an all time classic I still wear it often in the cooler months or at night
For real
I wore Yardley Gold, Coty Stetson & Drakkar Noir in the 80's & early 90's in high school and college. What awesome memories.
I’m still wearing Chanel Antaeus to work and I’m still loving it
Just tried Antaeu
s for the first time today and compared it to Aramis. Side by side. Chanel is better hands down. Such a gem. I'll be buying it for Christmas.
Man, the first half of this list was nostalgic! My grandfather and uncle wore and loved Korous, my dad loved Drakkar and I, along with everyone in middle & high-school, wore Cool Water and Fahrenheit! Great list
I’m wearing drakkair noir right now. It’s probably my all time favorite.
Just bought Hugo Boss: Number 1 yesterday. You cant go wrong with vintage.
Try Hugo Boss Extreme.Same fragrance but with longer lasting.
Vintage > Modern. In my humble opinion of course.
Halston Z-14 could probably belong to this list. I just saw it was released in 76, but it was very popular in the 80s. Same for Azzaro pour Homme from 78.
Fahrenheit was my dads frag when I was a kid. Used to put it on a cotton ball and have it in my pocket at school and huff it 😂 lovely stuff
Same brother! My dad wore that like crazy!
Likewise. My dad was drenched in this stuff throughout the 90's.
I love this comment. The image of you with that cotton ball is too adorable for words.
Calvin klein ETERNITY... Brings back to highschool
Amazing fragrance. Lasts long and a 200 ml btl is a steal at discounters
I always liked escape better
Halston Z-14, Drakkar Noir , and RL Polo Green were my "Go-to's"
I was wondering if should halston z-14 or creed aventus
I started wearing fragrances in 84. Obsession, Drakkar and Fahrenheit are definitely my 3 favorite fragrances from the 80’s. Although RL Polo from 78 was my favorite fragrance to wear then.
First of all, the 80s were great! The most prominent fragrances that I remember being worn were Polo (late 70s release, I know), Drakkar, Cool Water, and, believe it or not, Brut. I fell into the Polo and Cool Water groups. I miss those times…..
Polo was introduced in 1978, I agree 80's all the way and
don't forget Paco Rabanne
Let's be real here - in 5 years, we will be far enough from the 80's that these will all be brand new to the younger set.
This is it already for me. I like to discover what the previous decades had to offer.
💯👊🏼
True that
Ash looks for any reason to talk about Drakkar Noir lol.
A couple that I grew up wearing were a couple cheapies stetson, perfered stock & old spice. And they're ones that I still love nowadays
Cool Water is a timeless classic. And Obsession is definitely an underrated fragrance.
I love old school scents, bit I think I'm more familiar with ones from the early 90s.
Wearing cool water right now. Definitely an all time great cologne. Easy to wear
I love paying homage to the old school scents
@@kylemarsuni love obsession, but i like aspen more than cool water
Vintage Obsession edt and Polo green is all I wore in the 80s' and 90s' and they worked phenomenally.
No Quorum ? I wore it because we went out dancing , sweaty clubs . Kouros I wore to work, Halston Z14 .
Old AF frag guy here. Lol. I 2nd your adds big time! I was actually in middle school and HS in the 80s. Can't also forget Brut, Pierre Cardin, Paco Robanne Pour Homme. There was an Old Spice by Night too. Lol. My P Dropper was Calvin by Calvin Klein!!
Z-14 came out late 70s, but it was my main pdropper thru the 80s. Still keep a bottle. Side note, Varvatos Oud is almost a clone of it.
@@joe19912 nice man!! I had an uncle that put me onto Z14...loved it but I always thought was too mature for me at the time but u are sooo right! Unique and ultra manly scent. I can actually smell it writing and thinking about it!
Wish I had all the money I spent on Drakkar Noir back in high school and college, didn't help that I had no concept of "less is more" and just about bathed in the stuff and went through a bottle a month.
I would have been surprised and utterly disappointed if Drakkar Noir wasn't featured as the first fragrance :D long live Drakkar Noir!!! Great list, Drakkar+Antaeus+Fahrenheit is my 80s power trio. I think Quorum would have deserved a spot on the list. Another historic list video would be amazing, maybe exploring stuff from the 50s to 70s ;)
Awesome list! Haven't dared to buy Drakkar Noir yet, but I guess it's inevitable.... For me the Classic Van Gils is also one of the most prominent 80's scents
Did you ever purchase Drakkar? What did you think of it?
Kept a giant bottle of Drakkar in my car as a teen. Loved it. I may have to go get some.
Great video. Grew up in the 80s Drakkar noir was the first fragrance i owned. I think the designer frags back then were much more daring than they are today. Designers today play it too safe with their releases. Anyway, great list man. Cheers.
My 80's top list:
1- Jazz YSL (signature scent for around 20 years)
2- Versace
3- Kouros
4- Cerruti 1881
5- Drakar Noir
Jazz from YSL was my favorite too… love that scent.
Some of these were still absolutely huge in the 90s. My high school hallways were filled with the smells of Obsession and Drakkar Noir.
Brilliant! Oh the memories! Grew up in the 80s and started my interest in fragrance. Gosh too many to mention. From your list Obsession for sure. Eternity a little later but brilliant too. Grey Flannel, agree to that too. Armani Homme..the list goes on. As do the memories... Thank you. Excellent review. Cannot wait for Part 2 and a 90s revival.
Fahrenheit was the first smelly I ever owned. My dad was doing a job for a well-to-do guy and he gave it to him because his girlfriend didn't like it. My dad is more Aramis, Eternity, Red etc so Fahrenheit wasn't for him. So he gave it to me at the age of 16 and boy did I get some action through my late teens and twenties with it! I will always own a bottle of the stuff!
Love Fahrenheit, even though some hate it. The parfum is even better.
One of the best leather scents out there. Love the smell and the bottle.
It’s TIMELESS
Obsession is the wife's favorite scent. I was always down with Cool Water, and Drakkar was my go to in High School. I wore that completely out. I'm trying Boss #1 and Versace Homme next. I like rocking old school scents every so often, like Quorum and Aramis, which I have the original, the special blend and the tobacco blend. Love the old school vibe.
Just ordered gray flannel I know it’s from the 70s and I’m an 80s baby but I love it reminds me of my pops nobody really likes it but I love it
I prefer eau de grey flannel...but I feel ya
@@tejanissimo haven’t smelled that one but it’s on my list now thanks 👊🏼
I was going to say the scent I wore the other day was an 80's scent but when I looked it up, it had came out in 1975. Two years before I was born. That scent was Grey Flannel. I know, I know it's not "popular" nowadays but I still like it. 🤷🏿♂️
Anyway, 2 ACTUAL 80's releases that I love and still own are Obsession and Sung Homme. One of my uncle's used to wear Obsession when I was a kid. When I was older it was one of the first fragrances that I bought. So it has sentimental meaning to me. And Sung Homme, who doesn't like Sung Homme? I know Mugler cologne is said to be the quintessential soapy fragrance. Yeah, yeah, but Sung Homme is Irish Spring in a bottle. Straight up. I rocks with Sung Homme to this day!
I have grey flannel in my desk drawer. Lol
Geoffrey Beene gets no love from the youtubers... Bowling Green and Grey Flannel were both excellent. Ash you gotta give props to both of those sometime
@@rutabaga7700 I know right! I haven't tried Bowling Green yet.
Grey flannel is amazing sprayed on clothes on a cold night by the fire ! Old skool
One of a kind scent that actually smells like the name, damp autumn morning in a bottle.
Love these kind of fragrance enthusiast vids!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm a really big fan of old school fragrances and have a blessed day
The two I owned back in the day (early 90s for me) were Drakkar and Calvin. Still love wearing them. I didn’t smell Zino until last year but it’s amazing.
Great list Ash, got many of them and enjoy them still💪😀!
The best 80s I ever smelled and still own is Gucci Nobile released in 1988.
Thank you Ash! That was fast!
Glad you included Boss Number One, one of my favourite scents, such a powerhouse! I feel like I would wear it more if it was more of a crowd pleaser. Well my grandma likes it haha! I have worn it often though because I like it and it gives sort of confidence boost, power baby yes.
Great video. Please do one from the 70's and one from the 90's!
Great video, Ash! YSL Jazz was another amazing fragrance (and one of my favorites) released in the 80's! Shout-out from Brazil!
Jazz has a nice scent profile, but the reformulated Jazz from that YSL La Collections line is way watered down.
@@JT-rx1eo I can see that... I haven't tried this newer version and I just own the old one (not the black and white), but they always do this with great fragrances...
@@heitorcalvo lol, wore YSL Jazz to a school dance in the late 80s :) Can't remember what it smelled like, but the bottle was excellent - the black and white zig zag!
Hey friend
Zino, zino, zino! Certainly worth every penny. Really surprised me as to just how great it is. It's a 80's masterpiece for men.
Drakkar Noir is so nice after a shower after work. Love it. And only £20 😆👌
Great video Ash! Drakkar, Obsession, and Zino are classics for a reason. They’ve been awesome since they were released 40ish years ago. That’s amazing! Be well, Ash. 👍
Thank you very much for this list of fantastic fragrances! This took me back when I was in high school and couldn't afford them then; now that I'm older, I can afford them and appreciate them again. Fahrenheit was My signature fragrance, and I'm so glad Dior still makes it. And the intriguing surprise at the end when you compared Zino to Beau de Jour! Thanks for helping me save some money!
That would actually be a great idea, now that I think about it; How about doing a video of fragrances that smell similar to each other?
Great video
Just finished my bottle of Obsession yesterday. And no, i didnt drink it. THE 80S, the Miami Vice, the clothes. Never had the Drakkar, reckon it's next.
Love Drakkar Noir! Really dug the flanker, though- Drakkar Noir Dynamik. Doesn’t get a lot of love, but MAN, that stuff was killer!
Awesome work
Polo (Green) should have been on this list. I know it came out in '78, but it was big in the '80s. It smelled fantastic, and girls loved it. I'm a fairly credible source since I graduated high school in 1984.
I enjoyed this video! I'm an 80's dude 😁 My favorite was Drakkar Noir, Obsession and Bene'! Appreciate the trip down memory lane! I also like Cool Water and still wear it today! I wore Pollo in the green bottle, but I think it came out in late 70's.
I hope you do a 90s and early 2000s video as well :-)
Nice video Ashton, Kouros was one of my first colognes.
Awesome list ! Absolutely love most of those especially kouros and Drakkar noir …Zino is garbage though just saying 🤣🤣
Exceptional work, Ashton.
Nevertheless you cannot exclude Polo.... The Eighties gods were so powerful some arrived a bit early!
The greatest men's fragrance of all however was RL Monogram. Nothing since is close.
This was such a fun trip through memory lane for me! It reminded me of my teenage years and several of my male friends wearing Kouros and Drakkar Noir. Also Amando Noir, very popular at the time but which I can’t find on fragrantica.
Lol, I wore most of those ( especially Drakkar when I joined the Navy). In 1988 I bought Fahrenheit and Cool Water and Joop! in '89. I have been a fragrance guy since I first wore Grey Flannel, Lagerfeld, Paco Rabanne, and Polo green in the 70's. A couple of other 80's colognes I wore a whole lot were Giorgio Beverly Hills Men and Lapidus Pour Homme, Estee Lauder for men, Bijan, Ceasars man and Aramis by Aramis. Thank for bringing back wonderful memories Sir!
Thank you for your list. My first fragrance in the 80s was actually Drakkar! I think with Cool Water, it is hard to understand the influence when it came out. There was an enormous advertising campaign. When I first smelled it, I was blown away. I totally agree with your comments on Kouros and Zino. Did you ever try Verruti 1881?
Love these classics from the 80’s
Brut , Pierre Cardin, Paul Sebastian were my go to bottles as a kid in the early 80's didn't smell Polo or Drakkar until after 85.
Versace L'Homme is still one of my absolute favorites. It still has GREAT oakmoss, and the animalic notes are lovely with the lemon and the carnation.
Nice selection 👍
I'm from 1967 and the eighties are my decade 😎
I know and love all of your picks.
Especially Fahrenheit, Cool Water, Zino and Joop.
We have take a shower with Joop back in the eighties before clubbing 🤣 and for me it's also today a time travel back to my youth 🥰👍
They all nice today but...I also know the vintage versions, and actual ones... they mostly just a shadow of their "brothers" back in the eighties 🤷🏻♂️
But hey, better the reformulate Version of today...than nothing 😉
Btw... I'm happy you're pronouncing the German "Joop" correct 😉👍
BTW great video Ash
Wonderful show, you brought me back to my youth when everything was more beautiful, including perfume, thank you.😊
Great list Ash😀! I got several of them and enjoy them still, regardless of what people around me thinks🤪😂!
I started wearing Obsessions since 2002. Just switched to Dior Sauvage for a month. Now I am thinking of switching to Bleu De Chanel (EDP) for life. The one brand that all fragrance experts (including you of course) agreed to be great. You put it in your S tier. I am just gonna buy Bleu De Chanel blindly (5 ounce) and hopefully stay another 20 years loyal haha
It’s a great scent
If (When) you do a 90’s version of this list, please add Ralph Lauren Safari to that list. It pulled me tons of unsolicited compliments back in the day! Also, Clinique Happy as well.
I remember my dad wearing Clinique Happy when I was a 90s kid 😁
Hi Ash. Love The Calvin Klein Obsession. That was The Fragrance, that made me start my colection. Was a Gift on a Special Ocasion Of my Life. Please do a Review Of Calvin Klein Obsession. Thank You
Strong list, i never got my nose on Fahrenheit even though i have smelled hundreds and hundreds of fragrances in my lifetime. And i picked up Zino a couple of months ago and it is indeed a very nice scent. I used to rock Gambler & Tamerisk as a teenager, yeah!
Fahrenheit is one of my favorite of all time! I still wear it often in the cooler months (doesn’t get cold where I live)
I love and have most of these classics. However no Lagerfeld? You are so right about Joop. Can't wait to be finished with that bottle 🤪.........Great Job
Great video. I think of this channel when I see Drakkar Noir at my local Walgreens - haven’t picked up a bottle, yet. I’m a huge fan of the Fahrenheit DNA and I got really big into collecting all the flankers, until I picked up summer and 0 degree. Not bad frags, but def not how I want to smell. I ended up putting those and Fahrenheit cologne on eBay and keeping the rest of the flankers.
Love me some Drakkar Noir
My dad who is an average blue collar guy and isn’t a fragrance guy swears by Drakkar Noir. I had him smell some other 80s scents (Joop, Fahrenheit, Canoe) but he still says Drakkar is king. It shows that if you love a certain scent there might be nothing to change you mind especially if you wore them in the 80s.
Try it! It Works!
The Joop is one of my favs. That puking sweetness is fantastic 😂
Man, my concert scent in the 80’s are Paco Rabanne Ténèré!
A fantastic rock fragrance!
Drakkar Noir, Quorum,are my favorite 👍
I remember my friends wearing Tuscany Per Uomo by Aramis . I enjoyed that too.
Hugo Boss Boss Number One 👍 still have some of my vintage bottle left ... and Stetson Cologne. I also wore some older fragrances, Polo Green, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme from the 70's and SIR 4711 Canada Cedar - my buddy wore Drakkar Noir.
How come you didn’t talk about Polo “green”? I grew up in the 80’s the 2 heavy weights were Polo and Drakkar Noir. When I think of Drakkar I think of the early 80s and Polo for the later 80’s
Nothing is more 80's than Polo. The scent and the clothing. However, the cologne debuted in 1978.
I'd love to smell Drakkar Noir someday!!!
You probably already have and don’t know it.
I find that impossible
Fahrenheit and azzaro chrome! my wife's favorite on me since we first met when we were both 18 , 11 years ago.
Wow, an OTT animated description of Jopp! 😁 Hmm...that makes Joop my first ever "in ya face" fragrance! 🤔 Had Coolwater, Obsession and Krizia during the 80's, my favourites were Ck Obsession (still have that same bottle with few ounces in it) and Krizia Uomo .. 😂
The dry down on Drakkar! Absolutely gorgeous.
What a list! I would have added Tsar though...
This vid hits home. I grew up in the eighties and smelled many of these fragrances. Such nostalgia. Obsession is my favorite fragrance of the entire lot.
Oh. And I was expecting to see Sung Homme on this list. Well! Maybe next time. 🤷🏾♂️
I like the Drakkar Noir but i love my Bijan. I tried Joop and like you i can't get with it on me but my friend at work rocks that shy't and I'm impressed with it, makes no sense but maybe i gotta wait longer for the dry down. I also have Zino and its thick'n classy
I have been wearing fragrances since 1985. My girlfriend, fiancee, wife. (The same person for almost 40 years.) Here is her list for me that she loves...From 85 till today
Ralph Lauren - Original Polo Green
Obsession
Eternity for men
Drakkar Noir
Bvulgari - Wood Essence
C. H. - Bad Boy EDT
She is fragrance "sensitive" the wrong ones give her headaches so she chooses...looks like she has chosen well over the years.
Kouros was my first sig.scent in 80's
Love it ! Joop deffo worked hahaha
I still remember smelling Drakkar Noir when I was a teen and of course the inspired by NEW YORK NIGHTS LOL
just picked up a vintage obsession looking forward to it
Joop! Homme is just too sweet for me, to a point that it makes me sick. But boy does it last. It stuck on my skin for nearly 18 hours.
p.s. I'm so happy you actually spoke about Versace L'homme. There just is something about the fragrance that just works for me. I've mistaken it for Versace pour homme (back when I was just getting into fragrances), but just had to come back to it again and again ever since.
Fantabulous subject to talk about
Nice, how about a '90s and 2000s vid?
This brings me back to HS in the early 90s...I can picture guys I knew based on these scents🤣 Excellent content!🙏
Ordering some CC obsession , to test , it’s super cheap so nothing to loose here 😇
Great vid
Here are my favorites with lots of nostalgia connected to them
Cool water Davidoff
my first perfume at the age of 17
Night flight Joop
Aramis
Van Gils strictly for men
Fahrenheit Dior
Minotaur Paloma Picasso
Eternity Calvin Klein
Kouros ysl
Wings for men Giorgio Beverley hills
That's a really interesting point you brought up about having to cut through cigarette smoke, I hadn't even considered that!
BTW Kouros is an absolute masterpiece, it got me into fragrances & changed my whole perception of what I thought fragrances were about, it wasn't just about smelling nice it was also a statement, you could convey how you wanted people to perceive you without saying a word.
Long live King Kouros!
