Drakkar Noir By Guy Laroche - Iconic Designer Fragrance - Intense & Powerful Eau de Toilette - Fougere Blend & Aromatic Spices - Long Lasting Mens Cologne - Day and Evening Scent, 200ml

Arrived quicker than estimated. Well packaged. Smells great, takes me straight back to the eighties. Although a retro brand I think that the fresh fragrance is still wearable today by all age groups, it's not one of those "old man smells" if you know what I mean. Other reviewers worry about the authenticity of their bottles due to the back of the bottles being blank without any text on it. My bottle was sold by glamstore UK, and my bottle also had no text on the back of the bottle BUT it smells strong, and after 2.5 hours and also having been in the shower, I can still smell it on my skin. So I am pretty confident that it is genuine with that sort of performance.

Used this for years and can't believe the size of the bottle for the price!

My husband and I were searching for a daily wear perfume for him. This came as an AI (meta) suggestion. Since the price wasn’t much . I decided to give it a try. We both were amazed by the quality and smell. Lasts whole day and even more on cloths. Smell reminds of ‘All spice ‘ aftershave our dads used in 80’s. We just love it. We gonna gift our dads with this perfume next time we meet. Don’t get me wrong when I say it reminds me of Dad. Its a great choice to any age men.

Good gift

Reviews describe this as a barbershop or classicaly masculine fragrance, simply put it smells like you have used a shaving soap and applied it with the little shaving brush, with a touch of spice and talcum powder. Literally how you would imagine you would smell after going to a barber for a shave and a haircut on the 80's or 90's. I got into fragrances in the mid 90's in my teens when lynx wasn't good enough anymore. So if you have tried old spice or even brut you will be familiar with this style of scent. It's recognisable as it was a powerhouse and everywhere back in the day. The bottle design is simple but easy to hold whilst spraying, a lot of bottles try to be fancy recently and they are a nightmare to be able to hold comfortably whilst spraying yourself. I have a large collection of designer and niche fragrances but wanted this as modern styles are a little too sweet or youthful smelling, being aimed at the younger generation and even though they say masculine, they are actually unisex for mass appeal. This fragrance is definitely masculine and distinctive. Even though it's been reformulated over the years it's still a BEAST in performance. If your the kind of person who uses 2-3 sprays of modern designer fragrances as you don't want to offend anyone with your scent, this might not be for you. Initial projection on my skin was about 2 meters for the first hour, slowly reigning itself in to about a 2 foot projection from hour 1 into hour 2 and then down to a skin scent before it was gone at about 3.5-4 hours. This to me is amazing for a couple of reasons, first of all it's an eau de toilette which puts it's longevity bang on what expectations are for it's concentration but secondly it by far out performs some of my other fragrances that are eau de parfum concentration and cost 10 times more than this bottle costs. Simply put, a nice throwback style scent, can be used anytime if your the kind of person who is unapologetic about smelling like a boss and isn't worried about others smelling your raw alpha dominance before you get into the room.

Amazing value and amazing smell .

Smells love, doesn’t seem to last very long, seems like the one you can buy from Temu.

No worries

Produto excelente! Um perfume marcante, eu não consigo parar de sentir ele no corpo, para qualquer ocasião e pela qualidade, o custo-benefício vale muito a pena comprá-lo. Você não vai passar despercebido. Recomendadissimo!

Eau de toilette des plus classiques, discrète et très agréable, mais les goûts et les couleurs ne se discutent pas. Un essai vaut mieux que de vaines paroles.

Good old fashioned Cologne. Brought back memories of college

Ah, il Drakkar Noir. Nominarlo significa evocare immediatamente un’intera epoca. Se gli anni '80 e i primi anni '90 avessero un odore, sarebbe esattamente quello di questa boccetta nera opaca. È la fragranza che ha definito il concetto di "mascolinità" per una generazione: potente, scura e decisamente senza compromessi. 🌲 Il Profilo Olfattivo: Forza e Carattere Creato nel 1982 da Guy Robert, Drakkar Noir appartiene alla famiglia delle Fougère Aromatiche. Non è un profumo per chi vuole passare inosservato. L'Apertura: Un’esplosione di freschezza pungente con Lavanda, Limone e Rosmarino. È quell'odore di "pulito energetico" che ti svegliava al mattino. Il Cuore: Qui diventa speziato e selvaggio. Coriandolo, Ginepro e Cannella creano un corpo robusto. Il Fondo: Il vero marchio di fabbrica. Cuoio, Legno di Sandalo, Patchouli e Muschio di Quercia. È questa base terrosa e fumosa a renderlo così iconico e persistente. 🕶️ Perché è un'Icona di Gioventù Per molti, il Drakkar Noir è stato il primo "vero" profumo. Era il compagno di classe nelle prime uscite serali, l'odore dei giubbotti di pelle e delle prime discoteche. Piccola curiosità: Il nome "Drakkar" evoca le navi vichinghe, suggerendo uno spirito di conquista e avventura. Nonostante oggi il mercato sia invaso da fragranze dolci e "piacione", il Drakkar rimane un pilastro per chi ama i profumi "Alpha", quelli che sanno di barbiere classico, bosco e asfalto. 🏺 Com'è oggi? Se decidi di ricomprarlo oggi per nostalgia, sappi che: È ancora incredibilmente attuale: Rispetto a molti suoi contemporanei, è invecchiato benissimo. Rapporto Qualità/Prezzo: È diventato molto accessibile. Si trova spesso in formati generosi a prezzi ottimi, rendendolo perfetto come "daily driver" per l'ufficio o il tempo libero. La Riformulazione: Come tutti i classici, ha subìto leggere modifiche per le normative sugli ingredienti (meno muschio di quercia naturale), ma l'anima resta quella. È solo un filo meno "aggressivo" rispetto a quello che ricordi.

Smells very good its not a strong smell perfume
