FRAGRANCE STREET BATTLE: KOUROS VS DRAKKAR NOIR VS ANTAEUS: Most ICONIC 80's Colognes | WOMEN REACT

[@TheChipster61]

I have a 30ml bottle of Drakkar Noir that I wear a few times a year, and it still pulls compliments.

[@sf2explus184]

classic you just smelled well groomed. i have been rocking it since age 25. now 40 still amazing.

[@schnarrwerk2329]

I have all three of these and like them all. I alternate between them regularly (and some other fragrances) as the mood hits me. Kouros is one fragrance, however, that absolutely cannot be judged by spraying it on test strips. It also requires about 30 to 60 minutes to settle since the opening is rough. To the guys out there, if you spray it on your skin and wait about half an hour to an hour, you'll discover that Kouros is a masculine masterpiece. Hats off to Pierre Bourdon, the genius perfumer who came up with it.

[@Harrock]

Kouros needs to be worn on a Man walking down the street ... when you get a whiff off it you understand its magic

[@llorenstorrespr4409]

They won't understand.

[@jimmy5634]

I totally agree.

[@carlitobo3310]

Drakkar Noir was a panty dropper in the 80’s and I’m still here for it ❤😂

[@Emily_Hurley]

😅 Wow why's that?! 😮

[@shivanshkumar1640]

Yeah drakkar noir has old barbar shop fragrance.... I love it❤

[@keith1168]

Panty dropper... Nah... More of panties dried up.. 😂

[@keith1168]

Panty dropper... Lmao😂

[@heavenly81]

WOW! Best STREET FIGHTER episode ever! The fight of the OLD TITANS! thanksss

[@javierlucas1662]

Kouros forever.

[@sf2explus184]

the reason one of the men didn't recognise drakkar was the fact his already wearing it so his nose wasn't picking it up. it might even be his signature scent

[@basilfabian05]

Thank you for doing this. I love older stuff so I still wear these today but it's nice to see what others think about them too. Glad to see my favourite (Drakkar Noir) still get so much love. Goes to show that old frags are still very relevant today.

[@40KoopasWereHere]

WHAT THE... ... Drakkar Noir made it into a street battle of Erica's??

[@xoPRECISEox]

Top 3 80s fragrances 1. Cool Water 2. Drakkar Noir 3. Obsession

[@DjSicEm]

Eternity is good

[@xoPRECISEox]

Eternity is 1990

[@Funkincense]

Cool water not 80s

[@xoPRECISEox]

@@Funkincense it was released in 1988

[@Funkincense]

@@xoPRECISEox let's be honest though. It's a hallmark 90s scent. Not 80s.

[@RossBayCult]

Antaeus for me. If you added Quorum by Antonio Puig this would’ve been accompanied by a bunch of middle aged men in tuxedos straight out of 1982.

[@bahadurkhan61]

Kouros is hands down the most masculine if them all and my favorite

[@leandrolima2430]

the person to use kouros needs to understand it. This fragrance should be used on the abdomen, with a maximum of 2 sprays (summer) and 4 sprays (colder months). This way you will leave the right trail, where the civet note will play its role. it should not be used on the neck, back of the head or behind the ears… a big mistake

[@justaddlight]

NICE. 💪 Antaeus the winner for me, but despite none of them looking to be the vintages, they all have their merits. Whether you feel like scaring people off or otherwise. 😉😂 Great to see the fragrances featured in a public opinion vid Erica!!

[@marcosschneider7052]

Antaeus had the silver cap, I think that means it is the vintage formulation?

[@MisterFruitbowl]

Dont ask a boy for a man’s opinion 😎

[@shmoopiebear]

Drakkar is a timeless everyday classic for any age. Antaeus is more elegant formal tuxedo. I have no idea where anybody would use Kouros. A rest home?

[@hairtoss7975]

Put Drakkar Noir with the "best" of the modern fragrances and do a blind smell test, I bet it will do very well. Just because something is "old/vintage" doesn't mean it's bad or outdated.

[@Canada-gs3jc]

Chanel Antaeus is a masterpiece

[@BenderPY]

Timeless classic

[@brunomatos3724]

You need to test the vintage Drakkar Noir, i have 2 bottles, one from 1988 and the other from 1991.. i can send you small samples for review if u want 😊

[@Water0316]

Drakkar was my fav in the 80s and 90’s, my ex wife loved it

[@Zhivotyagin]

Drakkar Noir has set you a condition - choose, me or your wife? And you chose him. You did everything right! )

[@juanvelasquez3389]

More street battle’s please

[@eleganciaclasemasculinidad7042]

I really enjoy your versus Erica

[@mlqds]

I'd like to see reaction to some brutal niche staff like - Tauer - L'oudh, Beaufort - Vi et Armis, Zoologist - Tyrannosaurus Rex

[@stuartjamieson9096]

Owned them all in my younger days but have purchased Drakkar Noir a few times but has definitely been reformulated and it's not a potent but still love it, Antaeus is difficult to get and when available it's really expensive but loved them all...

[@Harrock]

Yea let’s go !

[@barrys.1172]

Erica Darling, I still would like to see the gourmand "baby maker" street battle with your beloved Via Cavour 1 and others in that same category. ❣

[@codetwohigh]

You guys don’t realize that Kouros doesn’t smell good in the beginning! Kouros shines and comes alive after about 2+ hours in the dry down. Turns into a totally different beast.

[@SimonTBam]

I have the modern iteration of Drakkar Noir, I am fond of it as my mom used to buy it for me when I was pretty much a kid... but a not in the 1980s... later than that... lol I also liked (and still do) Ralph Lauren's Safari. The modern iteration is not quite as good as the Cosmair original. And Cacharel Pour L'Homme was (and is) another classic that I love... One of the stores not far from me had a 6.7 ounce bottle of Drakkar Noir for the equivalent of less than 20 bucks a few weeks before Christmas.

[@Habeev07]

Its Dior Fahrenheit weather ; )

[@pkj77]

i love Kouros i used it in my youth still love it Drakkar Noir started liking lately the last i dont even know

[@user-hb7tz7nr7h]

I bought Drakkar Noir today and its amazing sexy and long lasting love it 😍 batch 2022

[@Coyote27981]

Dont you feel its weak compared to what it used to be?

[@user-hb7tz7nr7h]

@@Coyote27981 depends on your body smell if you have a nice smell then weak fragrance is better but if your sweat is like a bit spicy than definetly something heavier

[@user-hb7tz7nr7h]

For me a weak fragrance works perfectly

[@taylorgrove7163]

drakkar lasts like 2 hours lol

[@Funkincense]

Smells like toilet water compared to early 90s. Much less integrity and quality. It's cheap now for a reason. Those 30-$40 fragrances in 1992 are now 120$ price levels if you want that same quality from back then

[@shawn.credit]

Drakkar Noir, Antaeus the classy everyday fragrances that make a man smell excellent!

[@Coyote27981]

Got Drakkar Noir, got YSL Kouros, and waiting to catch Chanel Antaeus at a discount. Love those 80s fougeres.

[@titusvelez]

I remember i broke one whole bottle of Drakkar in the dormitory bathroom. The whole college dormitory even the corridor smells of Drakkar.

[@Coyote27981]

With current formulation, that would be the case for 30min... Then its gone.

[@jgmusic81]

Kelsey's so cute😍

[@Highwayzero]

Antaeus ❤ Real boss winter fragrance

[@Lemingtona-x5g]

Drakkar the original Suavage of its day , timeless scent aint going no where

[@titusvelez]

Drakkar Noir used to be my signature scent back in the 80. College in University of the Philippines. Its a bit strong.

[@Jojo-fw9vo]

Drakkar was the pioneer of all recent smell of colognes this generation enjoy these days. They laugh at the smell saying it's an OLD SCHOOL scent but little did they know cologne makers took this idea for guy laroche to create variants that led to enormous creation of varieties of scents up to this point of time. The majority of folks wilk still pick Drakkar all day for this purpose. Anyway, I wore Draks in the 89's too in the Phil:)

[@Amir76fresno]

Hello gorgeous girls, Great video indeed, thx a lot for sharing this , nice weather, over here is -25 C. cheers 🎉❤

[@Millefiori369]

Dude what are you talking about? Are u on drugs?

[@AodhanBulger]

Glad you put Antaeus in, too forgotten by people under Gen X :)

[@pauln0371]

Tbf it was only ever going to be between Drakkar Noir and Antaeus. I thought Drakkar Noir would have won tbh...

[@pitbullthebitbull]

You also like watches Erica? I guess the man in red had a Jumbo AP Royal Oak on his wrist. 😊

[@equilezstealth460]

[@mikekisonu6825]

Drakkar WINS, Kouros loses - what a SURPRISE. 🙄 Drakkar, despite its intense, brooding marketing/packaging, is actually an EASY, likable, crowd pleasing fougere, whereas Kouros is definitely more CHALLENGING, to say the least. So, if you're looking for an "easy grab" for daily use, it's def Drakkar, whereas if you don't give a f$#k what the rest of the world (or the opposite sex!) thinks, I'd go with Kouros. 😆

[@jimmy5634]

Sadly, Drakkar has been watered down so much from the OG. The good news is Sauvage Elixer has taken its place…not the same, but in the same family and power-packed.

[@derdyscobaron]

You missed Ted Lapidus pour homme in the bunch here, nice video tho. 👍

[@EOTA564]

The smell of Drakkar Noir is so ubiquitous now. A lot of supermarket shampoo and shaving foams still smell like it. I don’t normally complain about reformulations but the current Drakkar Noir is by far the worst of these three in terms of performance. It’s a body mist. Maybe the new intense version is better. Kouros and Antaeus still have great performance.

[@VIVIANAMUDD]

Hey Erica, hope you are well. Totally unrelated, but which is the Idole you like? I want to try it.
