    Lovely review Kelan, and you're my go to guy for classic fragrances. You and MrSmelly1977. Your classic fragrances content is superb. I have already bought this one from your recommendation 2 years ago, together with Giorgio Beverly Hills for Men and Lomani Pour Homme. I saw your video on affordable Classic Scents for Men back in 2021 and I went and blind bought them and man oh man do I love these Gems...

      I'm not sure any men's fragrance is as strong as the bottle of Giorgio for Men from Giorgio of Beverly Hills I bought in the 1980's! I still have about a third left along with 2 five year old bottles. The current version has some staying power but isn't the oakmoss bomb of 40 years ago!

    Kelan, I agree that "Bijan for Men" is one of the better inexpensive fragrances from the 1980s which is on the market these days. I think it's better than "Zino" and "Jaguar for Men", for example.

    Someone wants 10K subscribers, LOL! Seriously though, I do really like that your choices for men's colognes to review. Bijan Men is like you said "Iconic" and it is one of my favorites. Side note: They are charging $360 for this on the official website, no joke ( I think it goes for $25 everywhere else) and forget about their clothing line! This fragrance is beautiful. This, although there are a lot of notes , is a clove bomb (in a good way), and very masculine. It is rough at first but it dries down into a very nice smooth scent. There really aren't many men's scents that go as fearlessly masculine as this.

Someone has got to email Bijan and tell them that Bijan for Men is licensed and distributed by 5 Star Fragances which is owned by Perfumania Holdings, Inc. Perfumania only charges $25 for the 2.5 oz bottle! I bought it from them 5 years ago for about $10!

    Hi Kelan. I enjoyed wearing "Bijan for Men" within the past few months. Over a year ago, you influenced me to get a bottle of it, and I appreciate having it in my collection. I think that it's a masculine, floral fragrance which somewhat reminds me of Roja Parfums "Creation-E" and Robert Graham "Fortitude", only it smells like it is from the 1980s and it is not as good as the other two fragrances. I think it is a good fragrance, especially for its price: I think I might have bought mine for about $10. At first, I didn't feel like I would wear it, but now I like to wear it sometimes.

    In the 80s Fortune or Forbes had an article about Bijan the man and he was pictured with the fragrance boasting about how expensive the bottle was to make and that it was the most expensive fragrance in the world. What a surprise to see it as a cheapie now after 40 years.

    From what I remember back in the day that was a high dollar fragrance only available in the Bijan boutiques. So weird how time goes by, they go out of favor, and it's $15 with a free coupon for a corn dog if you buy a bottle. Bijan isn't my style but of course I appreciate what it is and I'm glad you revisited the bottle. It's one of those powerhouse classics that just lingers on your clothes, lingers on the shelf.

      No I haven’t, mainly because I’m almost positive I wouldn’t like it, it’s supposed to be like eros from what I’ve seen and if I did review it I know I’d slam the fragrance and I’d rather not buy it just to have it sit around. All of that is based on my personal scent preference so if you like it then By all means enjoy it

    To me, the modern version is like a mix of amber and the bottom of a kitchen spice cabinet. 😆 And I keep mentioning that I get this fresh parsley vibe that nobody else seems to get? It really has that woody herbal edge though. Plus the bottle always reminded me of a pacifier. 👶 But it still has more character and presence than most designers marketed today. Not a bad buy at all!

    5 Star along with Parlux are subsidiaries of Perfumania where I bought my bottle of Bijan for about $10 five years ago. I haven't worn it in awhile but I remember it as sort of perfumey and very strong, with a really nice dry down. Don't use Fragrantica for notes, They're often wrong and list loads of notes voted on by forum members. According to Basenotes, there are 11 notes for Bijan:
    Top Notes
    bergamot, rosemary, lavender
    Heart Notes
    nutmeg, vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood
    Base Notes
    musk, amber, oakmoss, vanilla

    To my memory ... back in the day this colonge was only available at the house of Bijan and rather pricey. Bijan Pakzad was a designer from Iran and popular around the same time as the Giorgio of Beverly Hills era was. All 80's California stuff. Not sure if the colonge on their website is the same as the cheapie. On the website its $360 a bottle. To my nose I get a incense vibe which I like.
