I Just Purchased A Vintage 90s Formulation From Salvation Army & It Has Officially Become My Favorite Of My Collection Of 21 Fragrances.
@MrHidrissa Жыл бұрын
Great video as always Kelan ! I have both and I love both ! The quintessential aromatic fougère, so good. The new formulation is great, sharper more anis heavy and the OG is more rounder , more blended, smoother a little bit more like shaving cream. To me it’s the most have classic barbershop fougère for every gentleman.

Thank you for the comparison! I have both formulations and I prefer the vintage formula. I get more leather and oakmoss with the vintage. With the current, I get more lavender and spices. The vintage I find a little more dense and punchy. The current I find more light and airy. I usually just layer them with one another.

While the new version remains excellent, the original formula, crafted with superior ingredients, exudes a warmth and depth akin to the difference between analog and digital photography-both impressive, but the former possesses an irreplaceable magic.

I have current formulation and while I love the lavender/ shaving cream side of it, the anise in my bottle is just a bit too dominant. Still like it though. Wore Bogart Signature today, as recommended by your good self. Fricking love the smokey birch and green pine notes. Three on the neck is enough without choking everyone around you. Cheers bro.

Yeah I like Bogart signature more than azzaro for sure

I got this Azzaro Pour Homme last year around May. I love anise and black licorice notes, and looked forward to getting it. The opening put me off right away, was in the process of testing a lot of new fragrances, and Azzaro didn't at the time stack up to what I was looking for. So I gave it to my next door neighbor Mike. He's not a cologne man like me, so he ended up not even wearing it at all. So in this case I went ahead and asked him if he minded if I could have it back? He said sure here you go. Now, it smells so fresh and good, now I get it. The opening that I hated at first I now love. Azzaro Pour Homme is now a permanent staple in my cologne collection and proud to own this 1978 classic, which came out the year I was born. Thanks Kelan.👍

Im in my 50's, these were EVERYTHING back in the day..thank you for settling the score on this one as I was torn on which way to go in replenishing my pour Homme supply.. Ive got the Azzaro intense, and love it, it helped me remember what it the OG Azzaro smelled like..

Well done, as always. Azzaro is still very popular with older men in France. Rumor has it when it was time for Azzaro to be reformulated (like every other fragrance because of restrictions), they did something quite sly: they made it rechargeable without really tampering with the original formula. They simply made it punchier and subtly eliminated the more dated elements. The diehard users were happy because it was still Azzaro and the younger users were happy too. Making it rechargeable means it is now eco friendly. A win-win for the company.

Great comparison Kelan. I have a couple bottles of the silver sprayer version and love it. Haven't tried the newest black atomizer version tho. I understand that they also come in refillable bottles? Ohh they sell refills according to the official website (yet I've never seen them)...but what about the 'tooti frooti' line? They came in refillable bottles too and then were promptly discontinued. 😄 Way da go Azzaro. ✊

Great review mate. The first formulation with sprayer is better. 1984-1997. For the current one...I would say that refillable bottle with black sprayer is the worst. I dropped that bottle last year. My bottle with silver spryer 2016 isn't a vintage but is very clo se to your vintage Azzaro. 1997-2007. My opinion is like yours. The second formulation 1997-2007 is not much better than current ones. The real difference is in the first formula : 1978-1997.(splash) 1984-1997(sprayer). Thank you for helping me Cavella

@dustybryan91 Жыл бұрын
For me, the vintage is a better performer and smells smoother and richer. I had a bottle from the late 70s. I tend to agree that the modern formulation is good and cheap enough to offset its bad performance. It opens more harsh than the vintage and settles into a synthetic oak moss skin scent within two hours. I actually get a good solid 5 hours of that smooth anise shaving foam aroma with the vintage.
