I think Polo was the smell of the 80s

[-]

Original Polo (green bottle) is one of my favorites. I liked original Eternity as well. Drakkar was good, but wore off quick. Catalyst was real good, but it's no longer made. That was the one that came in a bottles shaped like laboratory containers.

[-]

Melodic_War327@reddit

You can still get this stuff. Although TBH I still have some from back in the day as well.

Drakkar is catnip for cougars! (I mean this is the best possible sense)

teleheaddawgfan@reddit

As a teen, used to collect the samples.

Polo, Giorgio, Obsession, Drakkar, Lagerfeld, Paco Rabanne, it was the golden age of men’s cologne.

[-]

After_Narwhal8582@reddit

This takes be back omg there was a time when men young and old wore cologne regularly now i rarely smell cologne or perfume. Perhaps its too expensive in this economy or people think axe body spray is enough. Paco Rabanne though. Weak knees for sure

[-]

Turbulent_Elk_2141@reddit

Macassar with Ébène. Best together.

Eau Sauvage. Had to be reapplied often.

Drakkar Noir was good and came with a cork box. But the smell never lasted.

Kouros still used today.

My older cousin wore this stuff. He was quite the lady's man back then. Probably didn't hurt that he was extremely good looking and the star of his baseball team in high school, either.

Axe was alright in 1998 because my holiday bf wore it, but I wouldn't buy it now.

[-]

SweetConfusion@reddit

Yeah, I wore this because my cool cousin did. Not regularly cause I was a weirdo. Some time in 1992'ish I got sprayed with CK-One in a department store. The girl I was seeing at the time said I smelled nice. I've been chasing that high for over 30 years.

My HS boyfriend wore Drakkar. One day I noticed my dance partner also wore it, and made the mistake of mentioning it to my bf. The next morning I picked him up for school. He got in followed by a cloud of cologne. My car reeked of Drakkar for WEEKS. I don’t think my mother ever forgave him for that. Man I can smell it through this post.

Man, Brooksie could pull it off in college and I thought it was the best scent.
