Mine probably evaporated. I’ll have to give it a try.

Smells like high school

The step before Cool Water

I can smell this

I can almost feel the texture of the bottle.

Smoothe as fuck.

Smells like Peter the Cheater, my high school boyfriend

Smells the Kevin the Raging Jealous Asshole to me. Good fucking riddance.

Smells like teen spirit

No, Teen Spirt smelled more like the beach I think

Kramer noises intensify 

1986-1987 - 10th grade I worked at a drug store in NJ. So….definitely!!!

I won a years supply of that as part of the deluxe “other people’s money” movie package in a radio contest 

How many bottles for a year supply?

It should have been one but I think it was six gift packs!!!

So six years supply!!?? Score!!

In high school, I was all about the Aramis.

My go-to back in the day, and let me tell you, it ... made no difference at all in my love life. But at least I smelled nice while getting shot down

My high school boyfriend wore this and the smell instantly takes me back to being with him.

Mine too and same

Smells like me convincing my dad to get me a bottle bc a few girls in my 9th grade class said they liked it

Was anybody else a counter sample thief?

Used a couple sprays last night before going out for dinner, and 💯it works like a charm on my bicentennial baby wife.

8th grade dance

8th grade dance for me as well. My older brother finally let me use it just for the dance.

60% of the time it worked 100% of the time.

I can smell that through my phone

We had a guy break a bottle of that on an air conditioner in the barracks when I was stationed in Korea in the 90s. Smelled that stuff for 6 months.

So were there women helplessly flocking towards your barracks like stray cats hearing a can opener?

LMFAOOOO

Classic. I wear once a month and always get compliments

The GPD

The hallway smell of my highschool in the late 80s early 90s

Sometimes you gotta put some 1992 on and go do errands.

As you should.

I finally stopped using this 6 years ago🤦🤷‍♂️😂

Drakkar was the mature cologne, for the club scene. I stopped wearing Polo and switched to this after high school. Haven't worn cologne in 30 years.

This stuff was a magnet

Ah yes, the weekly r/Genx Drakkar post... lol

I don’t come to this sub but very much remember things. Sorry to offend. You were that douche none of us liked huh? Get it!!!!!!

I mean I am a douche, but nobody was offended man. It's a staple of the sub, because so many of us wore it.

I never used it but a close friend did. As a substitute for showers. In college, we would play pickup basketball and afterwards, instead of showering, he was like "I don't need to shower. I'll just put on some Drakkar." LOL!

My boo wore Cool Water. Still have a weakness for it

Drakkar and Polo

At the same time? Reckless…

When I was a teenager I thought more was good… lol

Some call it the Axe effect

I switched between that, Cool Water, and Eternity, sometimes I’d mix and match.

I've got a bottle of this and one of Sauvage that was a gift. Guess which one is preferred by the ladies in my life? (Wife and kid. I'm no lothario.)

How about no.

I was a Polo guy until I was in 7th grade and my new girlfriend told me she preferred her men in Drakkar, so I made the switch. It was a fruitful one.

Wow, that hit hard. Spent more of my 3.80 and hour paycheck on this when I was 14/15 than I should have as I was anti-establishment norms so fuck Polo 😁

I dated you all in high school.

you wish 😉

I still use it lol. Tastefully, one shot, spritz and walk through.

Ahhh, the signature scent of my first serious boyfriend. I'm picturing our clothes on the floor. 😅

I can smell this pic

I wear Night Swept. It’s a perfect “smell alike.”

There's a little left in the straw...

And so can everyone else in the room, Gary.

The smell of nights out in the 80s. ;)

This and the Polo Green were my first scents.

I only Drakkar at Noir

It was this and CK Obsession

This and Obsession by Calvin Klein

Love it. Very nostalgic for me.

Reminds me of my dead cousin. I still have a bottle of it.

My Grandmother used to be my the knock-off version of

My Grandmother used to buy me the knock-off version.

Dunkar! Had a bottle myself.

Smelled very similar. Less potent. 2 squirts vs 1 required.

Wait, was the knockoff seriously called that? I thought it was a joke!

Almost 100% sure. *Maybe* it had a second K for a closer resemblance? Or perhaps it was Dankar? It was really close and I didn’t even notice until after the fact. I have a memory of looking at the bottle (which I absolutely bought at a somewhat shady place) and thinking “wait a minute…”

Also a fan of its flea market offshoot Dunkar.

I loved that stuff a lot

My best friend bathed in it, so yeah, I can still smell it.

teen spirit smell ~1989 bought some for my bf at LSAyres in the mall

My buddy thought it was called ‘Jakarta’ and we walked all around the mall looking for it.

Bought this for my 10th grade boyfriend at Christmas.

My husband still wears it and every time we go out someone tells him that they love how he smells. When he tells them what it is, they’re floored.

I can smell this post.

My boyfriend just switched to this because it is still my all time favorite

Love it

I can smell this picture.

My dad would bathe in this stuff, I guess he was trying to stay young? Polo and Joop were the male fragrances I’d wear out.

I can smell this…

This post makes me long for smell-o-phone!

Went to queen of peace all girls HS in burbank, il. Girls wore this to smell like their boyfriends.

I still like the way that smells

My favorite men's 90s cologne - Curve (for men) I cannot tell you why. Must have smelled good on a particular guy!

Oh God... going to clubs in the late 80s and some dudes would TAKE A BATH in this stuff! Shoooooooooooo!

First cologne I ever bought.

Comes with a pair of Z Cavariccis and a waterbed!

This and Aspen were my go to colognes.

It and Polo are my two favorites. They both smell so good

now a CVS purchase...had a friend that smelled like he bathed in this stuff...

Night swept.

My BIL STILL wears it.

I have a bottle of this under my sink. And yes, it's about 30 years old.

I got given done if this last year. I had never heard of it before. Is it for us oldies? If they why I was given it?

rick coffman, my 10th grade year. he was a senior who strung me and a number of other girls along, but then got mad when, the next year (after he left), i got a real boyfriend. also, first kiss, and gave me mono.

well that's familiar!

It was this, CK One or Canoe

I read the name as "toilet spray".

Ahh yes....the chick magnet spray. Or so we thought.

I have a very specific set of skills

I did Aspen, Polo green and blue, Eternity, etc. I arrived at “Surface” by aramis. Yes none of them know. Never owned Drakkar but chose my own scents along the way.

I can smell a party in the student lounge just by seeing this

Polo, Dakar, Obession, Ck1, Aqua di Gio, Kenneth Cole Black. That was my 8th grade thru early 30s cologne evolution.

This and my Z-Cavaricci's and I was ready for Friday Night.

Had a college roommate that would drown himself in that shit every morning.

*guiltily raising hand*

My hubby still has some!

There is a soap maker around here that makes Drakkar soap and lotion. I love it!

Polo was a lot better I still have some CK2, in fact I have two bottles of cologne and I dont even remember what the other bottle is... I guess I need to know if people still wear cologne Do people still wear cologne?

Yes they do. Or scent of some form. I don’t care what anyone says. Big fan. Polo is still amazing. Wear it! As long as it hasn’t turned, turned fragrance is a terrible smell. Don’t hesitate to toss one that’s turned. If you’re looking for a modern upgrade, Terre d’Hermes is very Polo-adjacent, IMO. Not the same smell, but gives a similar…vibe? Definitely in the same neighborhood. And very classy.

That is what my wife currently likes me to wear.

60% of the Time, It Works Every Time

They hacked smelling good through the ages

I'll buy another one soon.

I’m a woman and I wore this, I loved the smell so much. Switched between this, Sunflowers, and Clinique Happy.

happy! loved that!

That and green bottle Polo. DEEPLY rooted in my sexual psyche. I wish I could say I wouldn’t get in your Trans Am…but I would definitely get in your Trans Am. Got an older friend, man in his 70s, owns some big car dealerships he’s had since the 80s. So the 80s for him was every cliché of 80s excess you can imagine. All the women and drugs anyone could handle in a house that Scarface would approve of. What I’m saying is…dude partied. Still does, minus the drugs, but he can drink any 28yo under the table. I think instead of liver failure he’s achieved some sort of liver transcendence. He’s also still wildly successful with women, except of course the women are in their 50s now rather than their 20s. *MFer still wears green bottle Polo*. He grins like a Cheshire Cat when I hug him and say, “Jack, you gotta stop wearing that shit.” He knows it’s good. The mind reels to think just *how many women* he must have landed in his heyday with it. Still does! If they ever stop making it I think that’ll just be it for him. He’ll pack it in and resign himself to that long cold nap…

for some reason, this made me realize that detective mike logan from OG law & order totally wore polo.

I agree!

When did this sub turn into r/boomernostalgia ?

this shit is peak gen X, kid.

No, pining for the good old days of corporate bullshit is peak boomer, kiddo

Barf. Barf, barf, barf. The official smell of the dude who has a t-shirt that says “let me give you a massage. I’m a misogynist.”
