Help me find this 1980s classic aftershave

[dogrilla]

I think I've sniffed every aftershave bottle under the sun - cheap and expensive - but can't identify this smell. It's the waft you get from a well-groomed Italian/French man of a certain age, out promenading early evening. Pastel jumper over his shoulders, well made loafers, slightly bouffant hair - that kind of thing... It was definitely v popular in the 80s so nothing newfangled. Quite a pine smell - maybe a bit of zest - smells like holidays. Any Mumsnet super-sniffers with any idea what I'm talking about?!

Aramis?

Kouros?

Drakar Noir or Fahrenheit. Both such 80s smells!

Kouros was a classic 80's scent.

I immediately thought Kouros, my first ever bf wore it

I thought Kouros too.

Davidoff cool water was citrusy

Possibly Acqua Di Gio

@Soola
Cool Water came out at Christmas in 1991! The same time as Joop. I was working on Boots perfume counter!

Polo in a green bottle, Joop,or Obsession?

Could it be Pino Silvestre OP?

Sounds like Kouros. Loved it on men when I was younger..

Azzaro, Pour Homme (Paco Rabane) or Jazz are the others which came to mind.

Not expensive but Quorum aftershave might be a contender, can get it in the likes of bodycare and home bargains etc

Aqua di Parma?

Sounds very like Paco Rabanne to me!

I loved it and would buy a range right now if I could

Antaeus by Chanel. I loved this and used to steal my dad's.

Blue Stratos?

4711 cologne

Eau sauvage? The original one in the glass and silver bottle.

Kerouac would still make me weak at the knees.

Korous

Another one betting on Paco Rabanne. It was lovely: chic, subtle and rather delicious. In a similar vein, I like French Lover (Frederic Malle) but it is horrendously expensive.

Pacco rabanne
Or jazz?

My husband wears Paco Rabanne because I like how it smells when he wears it. Aramis for weekends.

I once bought Jazz cologne for a boyfriend. We split up. Ex-boyfriend left the house wearing the cologne and the shirt I had bought him a few weeks earlier. Hey ho. (That's why I didn't buy my DH Jazz aftershave to wear. I don't want him smelling like ex-boyfriend)
