No.286 Drakaro Noir - Aromatic Fougere Men's

£18.00

This is the fragrance that was the bomb in the '80s and '90s for high school boys. At least 2 boys in the changing room would have this, everyone would ask for a spray and it would get passed around to every guy, in hopes that his crush will smell him and start to like him back. This is strong, fresh and 2 sprays are more than enough.

So complex with ingredients. It is masculine. The initial spray has a lot of lemon and smells sour. It dries down quickly to become more soap, lemony and lavender. Longevity and sillage are moderate.

This probably would have been David Hasselhoff type of fragrance. Works all seasons, it's inoffensive and would be appreciated more by people who lived their naughty years through the '80s.

I will definitely be trying this fragrance. I will write a review after I receive it. I cannot wait !!!! That is why I am writing now. I remember this fragrance when growing up. It was definitely most popular back in the days. And, smelled fantastic and masculine. Will let you know what I think after I try Eden's version of it. I am very excited ! Brings back memories of some good times.

PS: Nice to see Eden selling this one.It was the best back in the days ! Truly the symbolic smell of a time period in history. It shows Eden Perfumes has knowledge and taste when it comes to selection. Cannot wait to try it ! (I hope Eden impresses me again too. I have already been blown away by Eden Perfume's Cool Water version, which is a must have by the way.)

Tried it for the first time today. Eden matched it perfectly. So, cheers to Eden for matching it correctly. It smells just as good, if not better. However, the fragrance it is based on Drakkar Noir itself is not the best smelling cologne anymore on the market. I realize that and understand why too now. Since nowadays there are some even better masculine smelling colognes on the market. But, none the less Eden matched it perfectly, so did a wonderful perfect job matching the smell. If you still like Drakkar Noir today, than you will LOVE Eden's version of it. And, I would then recommend it 100% for you only IF you are still truly a Drakkar Noir fan today.
