Help me find this 1980s classic aftershave

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?!

I used to wear both, loved the smell Grin

Ooh!! Thank you everyone - I need to go to Boots and have a sniff of the above. It's just such a transporting smell - v clean, suave 80s continental sophistication. I'd quite like to wear it now (not sure if it would work) but would equally just like to buy it for nostalgia's sake.

Yes I was thinking Eau Savage or Lacoste.

Could it be Pino Silvestre OP?

I remember that one! I think it did smell piney!
