I'm 54 and your 80's list is full of fragrances I've never heard of and don't remember seeing and has really peaked my interest. My signature scent in the 80's was paco rabanne pour homme and also Kouros but I never actually liked Kouros then I moved onto YSL jazz which is my all time favourite and givenchy xeryus which I don't own a bottle at the moment. You really bring back to life fragrances that probably deserve more praise than they actually got. Love the channel sir can't stop watching
New favourite fragrance reviewer. I hope this channel hasn't been discontinued - haven't checked yet. I enjoy appreciate the knowledge of the historic fragrances.
Your comparison of that old Italian bottle to an old Lancia was PERFECT!! All those 80's era cars had the worst plastic interiors. The Dark Ages for the Automobile. Loving the Decade Series so much. I will be sure to go back and view your catalog of content. Happy I found your channel!
great video. I still love the 80s. brings great memories. great presatation of those fragranceses. I am subscribing right now. I love your videos now. keep them coming. your are awsome bro.
Thanks for posting these 80s classics! I also wear and appreciate many of the fragrances you reviewed such as Jules, Lauder for Men, Fendi, Iquitos, and Trussardi. I also really love Worth Pour Homme Haute Concentration and vintage Tsar de Van Cleef and Arpels as well. Great video.
Great to see a super classy and not so run of the mill 80s list. The original Trussardi Uomo is just excellent one of my all time favs and the only one on this list I've actually sniffed. The others sound awesome though and worth checking out for sure. Thoroughly enjoyed these Chris and such an insightful look at some under the radar(but not under-appreciated) gems 😊
You are a year older than me and I have to say you look young and amazing. I see people our age who look much older. Love the walk down memory lane, fragrances make me very nostalgic.
For me, although I mostly wore 1978's Azzaro Pour Homme and 1955's Chanel Pour Monsieur in the 1980's, Calvin Klein's Obsession for men was the fragrance of the decade. Any time I went out on a date in the evening, that was what I sprayed on and MAN, was it a powerhouse! The next day everything still smelled of Obsession. I'm not sure it's still as strong. Zino by Davidoff was released that year and I'm sorry I wasn't into it back then. I should have bought about 5 bottles of it! Another one I liked that announced you were entering the room two stories before you even reached the floor was Giorgio for Men by Giorgio of Beverly Hills. Incredibly powerful as was another favorite, Drakkar Noir. I recently bought a bottle of Drakkar. The sillage and projection are not nearly the same. Good video. You''re correct in stating that the men's fragrance business started to really take off in the 1980's. Glad you rolled the sleeves up around the cuff. That reminded me of my evening look as I tried to emulate Rick Springfield singing, "Jessie's Girl" back then!
Great review as always, Chris! For me, first place will always go to Kouros (1981). No words do justice to a vintage bottle of that! White-clean pure french class. Magnum opus of Pierre Bourdon!
You're absolutely right about Lauder For Men. It is an extremely potent floral, oakmoss bomb! I recently acquired a bottle, and I'm still trying to find a balance with this fragrance. It will probably last me several years if I don't get tired of it. Classy but definitely bold and polarizing. Thank you for these great videos!
Now I have to call you the Jacques Cousteau of fragrances the way you dive into the world of fragrances. I tip my hat to you my friend. keep up the good work.
Thanks for this review for the 80's fragrances. I must've been walking around with a bucket over my head because I didn't pick up on most of these. I had Paco Rabanne PH as my signature scent for almost 35 years (now it smells like cat pee to me) and did not know that there was a Sport!!! Had a good laugh at timeline 9:30 of the video.
You mean you went through the 1980's without purchasing Drakkar Noir or Obsession for Men? 😉 Those two bottles were prominently displayed on my dresser and seemed to be part of the decor!
My Favorite fragrance of the eighties was Versailles Pour Homme - Jean Desprez created in 1980. Not only was it my favorite fragrance of the eighties but my Favorite fragrance of all time. I would gladly give all I have away to wear this again as my only scent. Why some scents are discontinued are an enigma to me.
Your very excellent series on 70's 80's and 90's reminded me of when the manager of my brokerage office yelled at me for smoking a cigar in the office. It seems I had only just generously applied some Lagerfeld after shave. I didn't have the nerve to correct him.
My favourites from the 80s: 80: Oscar de la Renta pour Lui 81: Chanel Antaeus 82: Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir 83: Trussardi Uomo 84: Armani pour homme 85: Hugo Boss number one 86: Versace L'homme 87: Ted Lapidus pour homme 88: Dior Fahrenheit/YSL Jazz 89: Joop homme
I've been wearing Polo Crest that was discontinued long ago. Such a great frag. I had to change my thumbnail pic for a classic picture!! The Sergio bottle definitely reminded me of a Car interior plastic 🤣.
Paco rabane "Sport" was really nice I agree with you. That's what I would call real freshness, no hint of anything aquatic. I find similarities with Hermes : "eau de mandarine ambrée"
I used to buy Fendi Oumo at TJMaxx for $14.99 the 1.7 oz during the early 90's now since it is discontinued it goes for $200. I loved it, must of bought 20 bottles of it.
Tamer, Lauder is widely available on Amazon and Macy's web page for about the same cost. www.macys.com/shop/product/estee-lauder-for-men-cologne-spray-3.4-oz?ID=74952&PartnerID=LINKSHARE&cm_mmc=LINKSHARE-_-4-_-37-_-MP437&LinkshareID=krcLo0oLBd0-qRX5Fu1BDYXxR5J8HpGGDw
Hello. The fragances from the 80's where very strong, I think they are better than actual fragances which are reformulated an weak. Azzaro Acteur is discontinued but i looks that there are a few available in Mexico, I will try to get one of them. Contratulations. Greetings from Mexico.
Hi Chris. If at all possible,can you compare the vintage version of Hermes BellAmi to the newer formula? I distinctly remember the cocktail shaker bottle smell from my child hood,just wondered if it's similar to the 80's classic,or does it have no similarities at all as some do these days. Also,can you review the house of Ormonde Jayne if at all possible,i own 3 from this house,would like to hear more as I think there amazing..so far
Brilliant review...I'll have to chime-in once I'm finished tossing around a pair of 160 pound dumbbells at the health club. But enough about the gym staff. lol
Okay, I don't have a Top X 80s fragrance list but some others (besides the one's you mentioned) that would probably make my list are: Chanel Antaeus (Top 5 for sure), Creed Green Irish Tweed (probably #1), Balenciaga Ho Hang Club, Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir, Antonio Puig Quorum. Creed Bois du Portugal, Dior Fahrenheit and Maxim's Pour Homme...and I'm sure that I'm forgetting a bunch. Jacques Bogart Witness would be an honrable mentioned but it's an early 90s release. All the above area very wearable today with the exception of Bijan Men, which I love, but it's only something I wear while sitting around the house reading a book or watching a movie. Have you ever tried Balenciaga Ho Hang Club? If not, you can pickup an unboxed bottle on eBay for under $20 per 50ml. It opens very nice, but the drydown is magical - just an awesome gentleman's fragrance that can easily be worn today. The same goes for Maxim's Pour Homme. Heck, I would love to see you review these two fragrances...highly underrated IMO.
Of course these are great but one cant include them all and I have this tendency of covering more of the under the radar ones. Fahrenheit is a masterpiece but I cant wear it and therefore it does not make my top list, same with Drakkar, Quorum or GIT.
Such a nice presentation! Your certainly a connoisseur of fragrance, and explain their different ambiances well. However, you skipped the groundbreaking pheromone-based cologne 'Andron' by Jovan. It was released in 1981. Perhaps you didn't have it in your collection. I'm 58 and used it often throughout the '80s... with GREAT success. The ladies would swarm around me at nightspots and complimented me on how nice I smelled. Needless to say, I never had a problem with finding a companion for the night! I have compiled a few "original" 1oz. bottles of this extremely rare cologne over the years, as well as some sampler vials. I am close to retirement and looking to sell. Maybe you might know of any collectors who may be interested in my treasures?
Lauder for men is an absolutely addictive, suffocating, spicy floral! So masculine and deep. Please be careful with this one. Don't over spray and don't jump into a tight space, ie car, right after applying this or you may get a allergic reaction. Good stuff indeed!
Hardly recognise half of them. My favourite fragrance of the 80s was Aramis 900 Herbal ...just beautiful. I agree what you said about Lauder ..very heady indeed.
Its true, Versace L'Homme indeed should have been represented here. Its stunning and I use it since 1991. Armani however I never cover at all. I dislike Giorgio Armani because of his negative comments of the late great genius Gianni Versace and therefore I am not willing to deal with any of his juices. I know its stubborn but thats just the way I feel about him.
you should look into Ralph Lauren Monogram,in the blue bottle. fantastic juice. Its the scent that started it all for me. always got great compliments from the honeys whenever I had it on. 👍👍👍
Do you remember a cologne called Fluid? I used to wear it all the time. Now I can't find it mentioned anywhere. Not even online. Please help me realize that I'm not crazy.
Awesome video man. I have to say I LOVE your reviews. Unlike most reviewers nowadays jumping on the hype train to get views and subs, you keep it real! And I applaud you for that. I took a break from YT since early this year because the YT scène was depressing but these video's make me want to get back to it. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos and have a great day 😉 SUBBED 👌
IQUITOS!!! Totally forgot about that fragrance until you pulled up that bottle. It's been so long - time to look into the closet for an old friend - Peace
Scent Land - Hey Chris, I was sure I still had a bottle - went to the closet and saw this Iquitos looking bottle way in the back - surprise! No!! Some frag named Malto Smalto?? Right next to Ungaro and Salvador Dali.
Found my Iquitos!!! About 1/3 left in 3.4oz bottle - it took me a minute to get the sprayer working and BOOM! Right back in good ol 1987, who needs a Delorean?
Göttlich, von diesen Düften zu hören! Meine erste wahre große Duftliebe war Jil Sander Feeling Man Eau de Toilette... Als Frau. Dazu trug ich einen hellgrauen Stetson. Mein französischer Freund hatte einen Alain Delon Duft, Classic, glaube ich. Dass er prinzipiell in Parfums badete, und ich weder Rive Gauche femme trug noch eine helle hohe Frauenstimme die meine nennen kann, mag der Trennung zuträglich gewesen sein :-) Vielen Dank für die dufte Zeitreise!
I was able to get a small sample, my local shop will not sell me the tester. It's pretty unique, green and manly fragrance, suitable for formal/special occasions in my opinion.
Scent Land on the contrary, we would expect fragrances flying under the radar, that are not common, so we don't smell like the average Joe out there :D
0:38 Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.
I love Wind and Wuthering as well as Trick but I totally agree, those two you mention two are my favorite albums also. I seen them live in 1987, 1992, 1998 (when Ray Wilson - who became a good Friend of mine - replaced Phil) and also 2007.
@@scentland4753 Do you like Huey Lewis and the News? ... Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
I just didnt make my personal list as it usually is on everybody's and I like to shed some light on fragrances that are not that well covered. Sergio Soldano outplays Drakkar a million times yet nobody knows that juice.
My pleasure. I can:) This list reflects my taste and since I cannot wear Kouros and Fahrenheit, I do leave them out. Also, I find it boring that most of the people in the community talk about the same, limited number of fragrances. Its always Fahrenheit and Cool water...nobody mentions Boss Spirit, Sergio Soldano or KL Homme. I do:)
Scent Land Thats some off the good about your Chanel. You don't just want to please us with talk about same fragrance like everybody else. I also said IMO, and Thats because this two fragrance was big for me in the 80s :-) keep up the good work and videos thanks
Chris, excellent video content!!....Very interesting 1980's fragrances!!....I wish the modern world would stop this "political correctness movement" so that the EU would discontinue its ban on oakmoss and bring back some 70's and 80's original powerhouses formulas for men's fragrances....makes no sense to me....it's absurd how ridiculous society has turned...Again, great research on these fragrances !
Edward, I don't know if you have found Lauder yet, but I certainly recommend this. Very spicy floral masculine. Powerful with even one spray initially but calms way down after 10-15 minutes. You can still find it available on Amazon www.amazon.com/Estee-Lauder-Eau-Cologne-Spray/dp/B003NODTF8/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1506103177&sr=1-2&keywords=Est%C3%A9e+Lauder+for+Men or Macy's www.macys.com/shop/product/estee-lauder-for-men-cologne-spray-3.4-oz?ID=74952&PartnerID=LINKSHARE&cm_mmc=LINKSHARE-_-4-_-37-_-MP437&LinkshareID=krcLo0oLBd0-qRX5Fu1BDYXxR5J8HpGGDw
I wonder if something has been done to Lauder for Men, I got mine a few months ago and I have to say the performance is really, well, I'd say lacking in my bottle! I'm a 1-2 sprays under the shirt kind of guy with most perfumes but with Lauder I've felt I could just spray away... Strange, and I do wonder if the spray nozzle has something to do with it. The bottle is identical to the older ones I've seen and I haven't heard of reformulations.
I'm 54 and your 80's list is full of fragrances I've never heard of and don't remember seeing and has really peaked my interest.

Thanks a lot!!
Wow! This bottle reminds me of one of my favorite cologne Boston Man 6:55 thanks for sharing your top!
great retrospective! definitely loving the concept.

What this brilliant fantastic video .am really like it I have never watched the hole video without make it faster and run it like this .

I was hoping to see Jean Patou Pour Homme from 1980. I hear it is a masterpiece. I'm dying to try it. Still, very informative video. Loved it!
cheers thanks and hope you are able to get it

I've been wearing Polo Crest that was discontinued long ago. Such a great frag. I had to change my thumbnail pic for a classic picture!! The Sergio bottle definitely reminded me of a Car interior plastic 🤣.
Oh what a great video! Love the 80s
Cheers, thanks!
Excellent video. Wow!
Thanks a lot!!
Lauder for Men is my all time favorite along with Azarro for Men.
Paco rabane "Sport" was really nice I agree with you. That's what I would call real freshness, no hint of anything aquatic.
I find similarities with Hermes : "eau de mandarine ambrée"
Love Paco Sport!!
Fantastic idea Paisano, so hard to find Boss and AD fragrances now. The 80 were great for fragrances.ciao
Grazie mille!
From time to time, I watch this video again; just for purely nostalgia.
Graduated high school in 86 and the hallways were filled with the original Ralph Lauren Polo. I mean this was the scent of 80's high school.
I was there in 86 and can testify. The halls were also choked with Drakkar Noir.
Trussardi doesn’t get enough love ☹️ Great video! My teenage decade!
What amazing review, brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻
I used to buy Fendi Oumo at TJMaxx for $14.99 the 1.7 oz during the early 90's now since it is discontinued it goes for $200. I loved it, must of bought 20 bottles of it.
I love it as well but it seems to be getting less and less available.
What i wouldn't give to have some of those 80s fragrances again
Nice list and great scents unique scents and hard to find
Cheers, thanks!

Hi Chris, my scent of the 80s was Smalto, still to this day haven found anything like it, Have you ever tried it?
yes, I did and liked it but did not love it...
The 80's remind me of two powerhouses: Ralph Lauren Polo & Calvin Klein Obsession. They were my favorites then & I still have both today.
cool, although Polo is a child of the 70s even.....
@@scentland4753 very true, but took off in the 80's.
Nice video 😍great list
I hope you can make a video about your favorite tobacco perfume
Cheers, maybe that will come soon also
Very competent reviewer. I would myself have mentioned also Armani "Eau Pour Homme" (1984) and Versace "L'Homme" (1986) (I know you like the latter).
Its true, Versace L'Homme indeed should have been represented here. Its stunning and I use it since 1991. Armani however I never cover at all. I dislike Giorgio Armani because of his negative comments of the late great genius Gianni Versace and therefore I am not willing to deal with any of his juices. I know its stubborn but thats just the way I feel about him.
@@scentland4753 thank you for standing up for Gianni.
Lots of fun! Don’t forget about Francesco Smalto.👍
its a great one indeed
you should look into Ralph Lauren Monogram,in the blue bottle. fantastic juice. Its the scent that started it all for me. always got great compliments from the honeys whenever I had it on. 👍👍👍
never tried it unfortunately....
Awesome list of REAL powerhouses.
The plastic bottles don't effect the cologne over time?
Thea Whalen what plastic bottles?
It’s a cover kind over the glass
Do you remember a cologne called Fluid? I used to wear it all the time. Now I can't find it mentioned anywhere. Not even online. Please help me realize that I'm not crazy.

No Zino or Quorum??? Those are the two best from the 80s

Nice take on the 80's Chris, (Bel Ami) what's your take on the fragrance- Full bottle worthy?
Definitely. Totally worth it.
Hey Carl yes absolutely, if you like classy leather fragrances! I reviewed this in 2014: th-cam.com/video/APcJT2kE0jI/w-d-xo.html

Dass er prinzipiell in Parfums badete, und ich weder Rive Gauche femme trug noch eine helle hohe Frauenstimme die meine nennen kann, mag der Trennung zuträglich gewesen sein :-) Vielen Dank für die dufte Zeitreise!
Wow, cool, danke fuer Dein super Kommentar!
@@scentland4753 Danke dir für deinen Mut zur prägnanten Dramaturgie mit Poesie.
Great Taste Chris Awesome List
wow, thanks
Are you not a fan of Gucci Nobile Chris?
Well, Nick, I think I would be but I never had a chance to get my nose close to a bottle....
I was able to get a small sample, my local shop will not sell me the tester. It's pretty unique, green and manly fragrance, suitable for formal/special occasions in my opinion.
sounds terrific!!!
Great series Chris! Should we expect top 5 after 2000 soon?
Cheers, thanks! Actually I am not sure since everybody will expect me to list Aventus or Invictus which I am not willing to do;)
Scent Land on the contrary, we would expect fragrances flying under the radar, that are not common, so we don't smell like the average Joe out there :D
Timeless picks!
Indeed! Thanks!
No pour lui?
Drakkar noir was my choice, with the blast of citrus, myrcenol and moss... not exactly the same today.
Cool choice
they need to bring back paco rabanne pour homme sport!
ist the ted lapidus pour homme smells good in your opineon?
thanks
In my opinion yes, but thats just my opinion and taste. To others it might be to overpowering or old style...
I live Jules. One of the best and it is very hard o find
It is still up on the Dior website
how old are they? are they really decade old? They don't go bad?
K gotta store them cool and away from light. I store these in a wine cooler at constant 15C
@@scentland4753 Thank you for the information
Wie lagerst du die kleinen schätzchen das sie nicht schlecht werden??
In einem Weincooler bei 17C
Alain Delon - Iquitos full bottles price is $350-$500
Great video!
0:38 Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.
I love Wind and Wuthering as well as Trick but I totally agree, those two you mention two are my favorite albums also. I seen them live in 1987, 1992, 1998 (when Ray Wilson - who became a good Friend of mine - replaced Phil) and also 2007.
@@scentland4753 Do you like Huey Lewis and the News? ... Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
where can i get paco sport????
Online only at this stage
best decade for men's perfumery
CHANNEL POUR MONSIEUR ANOTHER ONE! 60S BUT STILL AWESOME
my father rocked cardin in the seventies ,, then switched to quorum
Cool
No Quorum or Ted Lapidus Pour Homme?!
nope, cant please everybody:)
Beautiful, beautiful list, but I miss my favorite fragrance of the '80s : Drakkar Noir.
I just didnt make my personal list as it usually is on everybody's and I like to shed some light on fragrances that are not that well covered. Sergio Soldano outplays Drakkar a million times yet nobody knows that juice.
Scent Land I didn't know about that scent either; and I'm Italian....
Thanks for your video :-) IMO you Can not go for fragrance in the 80s with out YSL Kouros from 81 and Dior Fahrenheit from 88 :-)
My pleasure. I can:) This list reflects my taste and since I cannot wear Kouros and Fahrenheit, I do leave them out. Also, I find it boring that most of the people in the community talk about the same, limited number of fragrances. Its always Fahrenheit and Cool water...nobody mentions Boss Spirit, Sergio Soldano or KL Homme. I do:)
Scent Land Thats some off the good about your Chanel. You don't just want to please us with talk about same fragrance like everybody else. I also said IMO, and Thats because this two fragrance was big for me in the 80s :-) keep up the good work and videos thanks
Chris, excellent video content!!....Very interesting 1980's fragrances!!....I wish the modern world would stop this "political correctness movement" so that the EU would discontinue its ban on oakmoss and bring back some 70's and 80's original powerhouses formulas for men's fragrances....makes no sense to me....it's absurd how ridiculous society has turned...Again, great research on these fragrances !
Manuel, I agree!
Glorious 80s yes
We are brothers. Lagerfeld, Photo! Bring it back. (You didn't, however, mention it in this video.)
You missed the King from YSL
Boris Šlechta there is no King. Kouros was a major milestone in the 80’s but not among my first 12 personally preferred choices.
I cannot believe Tiffany for Men is not in this list, or in the 90's list.
...thats why I am saying that its MY top 10. As I said in the video I do not claim that these are THE top 10.
IMO, the Lauder was the best in your top 12.
Am I the only one that just sees a gray blurry screen with all of the recent videos? No visual at all.
NO, unfortunately you are right. Its the bloody IPhone / plus that behaves like this when I put things into the table or the sound is too loud...
Must be kidding. Where are Dior Fahrenheit? Drakkar Noir?? Com'on.
Underrated video. 80s fragrances is must now, as fragrances are getting genderless.
"You spray it twice and people die in the room." Hilarious!
Iquitos! So desperately want to try it but having trouble finding it.
Edward, I don't know if you have found Lauder yet, but I certainly recommend this. Very spicy floral masculine. Powerful with even one spray initially but calms way down after 10-15 minutes. You can still find it available on Amazon

or Macy's

And yes, you spray it twice in a tight space and it will choke you out!
I wonder if something has been done to Lauder for Men, I got mine a few months ago and I have to say the performance is really, well, I'd say lacking in my bottle! I'm a 1-2 sprays under the shirt kind of guy with most perfumes but with Lauder I've felt I could just spray away... Strange, and I do wonder if the spray nozzle has something to do with it. The bottle is identical to the older ones I've seen and I haven't heard of reformulations.
U forgot the strongest one of all time. Joop homme. 1989
Bobby Bobson nope. As the title says it’s about MY favorite choices of that time Joop Homme isn’t one of them
