      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 😂.

    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!

    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!

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!

    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.

    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.

    @makeupmetkatja Před 2 lety +2

    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.

  • @Shawntraci
    @Shawntraci Před 2 lety +1

    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?

  • @TheFragranceDecantBoutique

    Love these classics from the 80’s

  • @Music-pl8xf

    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.

  • @tipsy9947
    @tipsy9947 Před 3 lety +5

    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.

  • @MrOllium
    @MrOllium Před 3 lety +1

    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 😉👍

    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

    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!

  • @Noah-pk7tf

  • @NickyStikes
    @NickyStikes Před 3 lety +2

    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.

  • @broadwaynicky
    @broadwaynicky Před rokem +2

    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.

  • @wahzoo
    @wahzoo Před 3 lety +4

    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

    • @chadcharleston8865
      @chadcharleston8865 Před 3 lety +1

      Nothing is more 80's than Polo. The scent and the clothing. However, the cologne debuted in 1978.

    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 .. 😂

    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.

    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.

    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.
