Talking at work today about 'Denim For Men' aftershave made me think about bygone smells.

Aramis original in the eighties for me.
My old mans old spice and brut.
Jade East, Hai Karate, Jovan Musk Oil, Pierre Cardin and Kouros have all been my faves in the past.
Aqua Manda. Smelt like a tangerine.
Eau Sauvage and Chanel Monsieur
The originals of Boss No1, Jazz, Safari and Eternity.
Joop, obsession for men, Drakkar Noir.... Ahhh late 80s / early 90s.
Monsieur hubinot from the 80s, even managed to track down a full one 25 years later from Australia , not quite the same because of age I thought
Still like and use Brut, I think it smells really clean and fresh
Edit.....ahhh shino, I thought we were in the random disclosure thread ��

Canoe.
Musk in a bottle.
Paco Rabanne
Kouros , Krizia , Karl Lagerfeld , Eau Savage .......
......and Czech and Speake No.88 which I have bought religiously for the past 18 years !
I started with Tabac, and them moved to Obsession when a bit older. Aaaah!
Blue Stratos for me because of the blue bottle and it was highly inflammable. I bought a bottle of Kouros from Binns because I wanted to win a BMW motorbike but didnt
Used to love Tabac, especially when it started appearing in the pound shops. A female friend advised me it smelt like tramp wee though so i changed to whatever the dragon buys me!Originally Posted by apm101

I remember Valerie Leon from the Hai Karate adverts.
I was only a kid but she was a stunner.
I have gone old school and reverted to Brut. Amazing the amount of people that comment on the nice smell then turn up their nose when they find out what it is.
Late 1980s was the pinnacle of poof juice!
Then again, circa. 2000 L'Eau d'Issey omg had to carry a stick to beat the wenches off
I am not going to say anything because if I do you'll all be trying to outbid me on ebay for the last remnants :-)

What was the 80s aftershave that apparently contained pheromones that were irresistible to women ?
Insignia has everything, shampoo to shower gel, deodorant and aftershave for one all over smell.
^^^This^^^ And I remember using Mandate as a teenager.

60% of the time, it works every time.
Sure as hell none of the ones I used.
I was bought a small bottle of Fahrenheit. Wore it and had a splitting headache all evening. Not touched it since.
Lynx Africa, I think I wore it all through my teen years.
Funny that; a prefect at my school applied some aftershave to me when I was in 2nd year. It made me pass out, and left me with a sore arse.

blue stratos ,pierre cardin,quorom,aramis through early teen years progressing in quality in my eyes as i had more money haha
I think I know her; very butch, that girl...
Fahrenheit was mine.
Aramis,Givenchy gentlemen,paco rabane angd Egoiste are all favourites of mine.
In the late 80s mine was Jazz, then Fahrenheit in early 90s
Kouros, Paco Rabane and Givenchy, I still wear them now.
Quorum. A 1970s aftershave but I only discovered it a year ago and I love it. It's cheap as chips as well.
I had forgotten about Jazz and Insignia !
Cheers..

some of these names have conjured up some saturday nights in the 80"s / 90"s
as i walked down the high street leaving a vapour trail behind me of
Jazz , Cacharel , Xerysus , Van cleef & Apres , even Joop
does the metal top of the Kourus bottle still rust if you have it in the back of the bathroom cabinet for 5 years or more !
Cheers

Yes, interesting I'd say Issey Miyake did attract a disproportionate amount of feedback.Late 1980s was the pinnacle of poof juice!
Then again, circa. 2000 L'Eau d'Issey omg had to carry a stick to beat the wenches off
I still have Jazz costs a bomb though ! ,
do you remember the black and white bottle it came in
Cheers

I really don't get this - thankfully I don't have any 'aftershave memories' to haunt me.
Perfume? ...well that's different.
In rough chronological order once I stopped nicking my Dad's Old Spice and Brut my early ventures into smellies were; Pino Silvestre (until I was informed in a caring sharing way that I smelled like toilet cleaner!), Eau Sauvage, Paco Rabanne, Guerlain Vetiver (which I still buy occasionally)Habit Rouge, Givenchy Gentleman, JP Gaultier Le Male and Jazz.
Nowadays I'm a dedicated wearer of Acqua Di Parma Colonia as a day time fragrance and either AdP Assoluta for normal nights out or AdP Intensa for posh do's and 'romantic' evenings.
Cheers

Aqua Velva:):)......used to steal some from my brothers....many moons ago
I've just re-branded that and printed all the packaging!!!
Aramis, drakkar noir and kouros, they were the days
I still wear Drakkar Noir! On the rare occasions I slap on some aftershave, that is. Tricky to find these days, I have one unopened bottle in the wardrobe that I managed to score in Verona a couple of years ago..
Cheers,
Plug
Lol...nice! Remeber this
