Something widely recognized and respected something that's groundbreaking trendsetter and
stood the test of time those are some of the prerequisites for fragrances to be
in this list and on this series here on the channel classic iconics of all time so without
any further ado let's hop right into the first choice here this particular fragrance from 1981
from the house of Calvin Klein CK fragrances are very well known worldwide for Ck1 Ckb of course
those fragrances for the recognition alone even though they've been completely neutered now with
their current formulations they do deserve to be talked about and they might be talked about here
on the channel sometime in the future but today i'm talking about one of the fragrances
that perhaps is a under the radar gem that most people do not talk about this was one
of my favorite signature scents and one of my first signature scents i should say when i was
still in high school i got a bottle of this and wore for many years, this
is going to be Calvin from Calvin Klein and what this is it's going to be a modern take on a fougere
even back in 1981 this was a fragrance that i wore well into the late mid to late 90s
this is an outstanding fougere fragrance and what i love about this fragrance is that it did not
have the oak moss in the base which is really known for most fougeres that we come to know
in fact it doesn't even list lavender here as a note but i do get the lavender and the oak moss so
even though they kind of emitted those notes in the breakdown i do get that
but what i love about this fragrance is the introduction is kind of bright
not as dark as you would think from fragrances from 1981 it took notes from fragrances like
Antheus from Chanel but added this really nice chamomile t-note vibe up top which was really
inspiring the heart you have a gorgeous vetiver note in the base you have a trifecta of sandalwood
along with patchouli and this really uncanny cognac kind of a note and leathery facets
really incredible fragrance from 1981 CK Calvin simply called Calvin a fragrance that is really
something that most people haven't even heard about but it's something that you could still find
out there for quite a nice price tag because i think most people don't really know about this
fragrance so if you have never checked this fragrance out definitely consider checking it
out if you love fougere fragrances this is a must try. Speaking of fougere we're going to go from
1981 now to 1982 talking about a fragrance from Guy Laroche by now you probably know exactly what
i'm talking about if you're talking about fougeres if you're talking about powerhouse fragrances of
the 80s you inevitably have to talk about this particular fragrance and of course Drakkar Noir is
the fragrance at hand it's shaped like a soap bar it has a soapy quality to it i actually love the
introduction of this fragrance because you have this really nice minty blast to the fragrance this
particular bottle here is one from the late 90s oh my god it smells so good it's herbal it's minty
up top and then you have the lavender oak moss and fougere facets in the heart into the dry down
very powerful fragrance i know most people that were born in the 70s and 80s and wore this
fragrance heavily they attached to the powerhouse the long-lasting power of this fragrance
as well as the central vibe that you've got with this fragrance there's definitely some musks in
the base a little bit of an animalistic kind of a vibe it's long-lasting it's powerful it's sensual
and it's definitely very captivating something that definitely stood a test of time for a reason
and is the only fragrance that you've most likely heard of Guy Laroche which is a fragrance brand that
don't really release fragrances and haven't really done much over the years but this is one
that definitely put them on a map for a reason guys Drakkar Noir a timeless classic that if you
haven't tried even today's formulation is worth checking out just for the experience but you can
again find vintage bottles of this fragrance for quite affordable pricing because it's not one of
those fragrances that people are bringing down the house or dropping you know blowing doors to get so
definitely one that you can still fetch out there for a pretty decent price even for a
older formulation just like this one here from the 90s. Next one here is actually going to be
from the 90s in fact most fragrances are going to be from the 80s but i have a couple from the 90s
including this one here this particular fragrance you cannot talk about classic timeless fragrances
that stood the test of time without talking about this fragrance released about 25 years ago this
particular fragrance was a collaboration between two incredible noses one Alberto Morillas
you might have heard of and another Nick Minardo both perfumers are masters at their
domain masters at their craft and this particular fragrance here one released in 1996
is one that single-handedly shaped the 90s when you think about 90s fragrances when you
think about fragrances that were just incredible fragrances that if you ask most people that grew
up within the 90s and early 2000s they inevitably will mention this fragrance they're going to
definitely talk about this fragrance whether they were themselves or smell this on people in their
lives and i'm talking about armani's Aqua di Gio 1996 release frosted bottle definitely copied
and tried to be reciprocated by many different houses over the years probably one of the most
copied scent profiles for a reason this stuff here is floral it's fruity and it's aquatic which is
you know the 90s were very transitional time for fragrances we're coming off the 70s and 80s with
the powerhouse dark fougeres green earthy herbal kind of fragrances and the 90s were starting
to give us these floral more subtle elegant sophisticated but fruity and aquatic fragrances
for man and this one here definitely captured that essence like i said single-handedly shaped the 90s
it smells incredible you can't deny how good this fragrance is even nowadays granted you
know current formulations are going to be a lot you know weaker but you could still get the that
beautiful fruity floral aquatic amazing character that you get with this fragrance
there are many different options there are many different alternatives to this fragrance
if you don't want to buy you know Aqua di Gio that you can purchase that will give you the same kind
of a vibe and experience but Aqua di Gio this is an early 2000s bottle you can
again find this particular fragrance still out there for a pretty good price especially at discounter
and you can go heavy on the sprays this is not something that's going to be offensive it
is one of those scent profiles that is captivating it's mass appealing and it's definitely a
complement magnet guys aqua digio from 1996 an amazing classic timeless fragrance and still to
this day one of the top selling fragrances of all time. If you follow this channel for any length of
time you would know that this is definitely one of my favorite fragrances of all time
this was my signature scent for the longest time wearing this fragrance for the longest period
as my signature scent and of course the fragrance that i had the most bottles of that i went through
the most bottles in my collection and i'm talking about DOlce & Gabanna Pour Homme the 1994 edition
with the sticker it was actually this beautiful formulation was in stores from 94 until 2000 when
it was reformulated once made in the UK then it was reformulated again made in Germany actually
strike that reverse it was first reformulated made in Germany and then it was made in the UK
when it became weaker and really watered down i believe from 2012 on, but this particular one here
is made in italy which is definitely the best formulation it smells absolutely incredible
there's nothing in the world that smells as good as this fragrance guys and i don't know
why in the hell this was reformulated and changed because the original formulation is powerful
and basically what this is it is an aromatic fougere which has this beautiful gorgeous almost boozy
like honeyed tobacco and tonka base just made this fragrance so unique so powerful still amazing to
this day i'm going to tell you right now in 2021 whenever i wear this fragrance right now i still
get people asking me what are you wearing you smell amazing where can i get this fragrance
man i never smell something so good you know so forth and so on comments along those
areas you know you smell so good you know what the hell are you wearing where can i get it
that kind of stuff. Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme 94 an amazing fougere it's got the lavender the spices
but i think what makes this mostly unique from all the different fougeres out there was definitely the
honey tobacco vibe with the tonka that you get in the base and those spices the herbal component
just pops and you get this really uncanny powerful vibe that's very sophisticated elegant
very italian-like in fact i always tell this antidote which was you know the first time i
came in contact with this fragrance i was working the counter at dunkin donuts which was my job
in high school this is like you know the mid 90s mid to late 90s and this fella walks into
to the store he's wearing like this tank top he's got the mustache going on he's this italian guy
with glasses and he smells amazing i can smell him you know a few feet away as he's walking into the
door and i was like whoa you know i turn around he comes to the counter let me have a cup of coffee
whatever i make is coffee and i say sir i have to ask what in the world are you wearing you smell so
good i need to get this fragrance he's like well you know you can't find this here it's only made
in italy you have to get somebody to bring it to you needless to say he didn't want to give me the
name but i was able to extract the fragrance name from him and the rest is history i've gotten about
two bottles of this fragrance when i got the name somebody got it from italy for me and from that
point on it's always been in my rotation again i think this is definitely a masterpiece Max
Gevari is actually the nose behind funny enough is also named Max... but guys check this fragrance out
if you can find an older bottle which you still be able to because i've found many vintage bottles
of this fragrance in the group so if you're not part of fragrance groups it's definitely a great
way a great tool to find discontinued hard to find fragrances such as this but needless to say
you know what it'll be my actual scent of the day today it smells incredible i can
never get enough of this fragrance but again check it out D&G Pour Homme from 94 to 2000
a masterpiece classic iconic fragrance of all time. Now speaking of masterpieces of course
D&G Pour Homme was definitely one of my top signature scents of all time but i have to say
this next one is going to be a chypre and is definitely one of my favorite if not my favorite
fragrance of all time scent alone the actual structure of this fragrance what it brings to
the table is definitely something very unique and something that you can never you know replicate
and i'm talking about Patou Pour Homme from 1980 this particular fragrance guys if you follow
this community if you've been around fragrance groups for any length of time at least a few years
you will know that this is a holy grail type of a fragrance this is a chypre by nature but
also has some fougere aspects and tendencies so it's like chypre meets the fougere it is just
absolutely done masterfully it is a masterpiece it is you know a holy grail type of a fragrance
i'm glad to have found a bottle of this fragrance a few years ago almost 10 years now when i
purchased this fragrance and still paid a few hundred bucks for it now it sells for i think
you know close to 700 to a thousand bucks is what you're going to be looking to pay for a bottle
like this i know it's insane it's obscene to talk about these prices but you have to understand when
it's something that you can never replicate when it's something that it's so hard to find
it will fetch a pretty penny because it's always about supply and demand but needless to say
this is an incredible fragrance guys Patou Pour Homme this is something that i wear for really
special occasions very gingerly one or two sprays it's a powerful fragrance you don't need more than
one or two anyway but because it's so hard to find so expensive as time goes by this happens to be
a prized possession of mine and one that is definitely one of the best masculine
chypre of all time if you like Habit Rouge from Guerlain if you like leathery
masculine fragrances of old like Derby from Guerlain you're definitely gonna appreciate this
fragrance it's in those genres along with a chypre blast from the beginning but it's got a
lot of unique facets to fragrance like a pimento note and pimento seeds it was created in a very
inspiring manner like i said there's nothing like this fragrance almost has like a boozy quality to
it it's very powerful it's very captivating almost mesmerizing and what i love about this fragrance
of course the chypre are the the fougere tendencies and all those qualities that i talk about is when
you get to the base the real the the actual dry down of the fragrance you get this trifecta of
civet, vanilla and sandalwood which gives this really unique facet to this fragrance nothing like
it in the market guys if you can ever manage to get a decant or try this fragrance i'm telling you
