The green Polo Ralph Lauren my dad says everyone wore in the 80s that smells terribly awful and when I bought it for him as a gag gift gave him PTSD of high school

>>17725080
Crockett uses Patou pour Homme

best thing I ever smelled, a shame it's gone out of production. That one is aftershave, and there is a larger spray version of the bottle.
Does anyone know how the current (re) formulation compares?
>>17725286
Tubbs applies Grey Flannel aftershave in the next scene of that montage

>>17725688
>a shame it's gone out of production
yea I wanted to get a bottle of it, but I don't know if I really want to pay a few hundred dollars for a used bottle

>>17725088
This. Also possibly Polo Blue in the evenings.

>>17725088
PRPH is a pretty good fragrance. current CW is kinda gross IMO, and drakkar noi these days is pretty weak. fahrenheit is still pretty good.

Having said that I wouldn't say any of them really smell like the OP pic despite being period correct

any of the nuclear 80s versace frags
I used to own versace ph, I'd spray my entire attic down to keep raccoons out.

>>17725088
cool water was 90s dipshit, blue is literally the opposite of white and gold of the 80s

>>17728380
Weren't the suits from the show Versace, too?

>>17728400
yes

>>17725080
>what fragrance smells like picrel?
Cigarettes and cigars

The real answer, plus polo green

Love that juice

some people say that this comes close to the patou, so I ordered it for comparison. I'd say that the drydown is similar, but the red is a rather smokey while the patou smells really smooth, both are equally musky.

>>17729805
red hasna certain perfumish/powdery smell to it, but I do not fully understand what causes it. Patou is more aromatic, but rounded, and smells slightly more alcoholic and peppery, possibly because it's an aftershave that I put into a vaporiser.

>>17729813
the pepper in the original reminded me of cool water, so maybe it's possible to get a similar scent be layering red, cool water and something that starts out on lavender (might need a recommendation for it)

any pink bubble gum, maybe hubba bubba

>>17729805
probably it's supposed to be a clone of antaeus. Drydown is 90% antaeus, and 75% patou for me

Also Quorum*, Oscar de la Renta pour Lui & Azzaro (amber colour - O.G.)

>>17729818
still experimenting, I'll have to do one more iteration tomorrow, but so far the results are pretty good

>>17729841
Look up the modern mens top 10. Almost all are bubble gummy, maybe try Invictus and Erba Pura

>>17729805
last iteration of my experiments is finished. The patou is very smooth and carried by the warmth of the pepper. Antaeus is rather close in the aromatic quality, but has a very strong powdery/perfumy component that is not present in patou. Don't know what it is, though. This is less prominent in red, so it's a better base if you want to recreate the scent. In order to add the peppery smell I layered it with a second fragrance:
cool water, or lanvin l'homme (a cool water clone with lavender). I always applied the aromatic perfume as a base and sprayed the peppery one over it.
>red and lanvin l'homme: 85% close
lanvin adds the lavender and pepper components that are missing in red. Different opening, very close in the drydown.
>red and cool water: 75% close
just that, it goes in the general direction, but feels different
>antaeus and cool water: 55% close
cool water can subdue the strong component of antaeus a little, but I think that you're better off wearing either of them on their own
>antaeus and lanvin: failure
this creates a very disharmonic scent, cannot recommend and has nothing in common with patou

>>17725080
what are you interested in exactly? their scents and 80s scents in general were already discussed here. For the whole scene you probably won't find aatch easily because there is so much going on: a hot oily engine, the smell of gasoline, the leather seats in the car. Then there is the beach, sea water, which probably smells different in the evening. Probably there are some distant food stand with grilled fish or hot dogs, the smoke from that. Next you have their colognes, mixed with sweat after the car ride. Any passerby at the beach might also smell of sunscreen and a drink.

>>17725080
No fragrance that would fit you, normalfag.

>>17725088
>Fahrenheit
Isn't this a winter frag?

>>17734233
how would you decide what is for winter and what is for summer?

>>17734249
The frag general describes it better than I could. I went to try on fahrenheit in a store and told my plan to wear it in the summer and he said it's more of a winter fragrance. Then I never got to try it because someone stole their sample bottle.

>>17734338
I asked and they ignored it, loo

>>17734233
it's heavy so it makes sense for winter but in a way it's also good for summer.

>>17734249
>>17736188
It's in the FAQ's.

Cedar wood.

These, plus Tabac Original and Van Gils Strictly for men (formerly known as Van Gils Original). Van Gils Live is also peak '80s

>>17737438
thanks, sounds interesting

>>17734249
Sweet shit like vanilla, warm spices like cinnamon and powdery notes become cloying in warm weather when something more light and refreshing is preferred.
It's case by case though for what works in the heat and it's typically the cheap designer stuff heavy on the synthetics that are cloying.

Sung Homme

>>17740133
just the font on that already tells me it's gonna smell up the entire building and last five days

>>17740169
Apparently performance is mild. Curious to try it

>>17725088
these are some of my favorite frags
what does that say about me

>>17740169
pretty mild, spritz on each wrist before going out lasts for about a night out, it's like 30-50 bucks and smells like summer nights in south florida

>>17740198
How is it compared to say Kenzo Homme Marine or Intense?

>>17740169
>it's gonna smell up the entire building and last five days
any frags like that?
