Paco Rabanne Pour Homme Fragrance Review

[@friedookiehil]

What a classic! I purchased myself a 200ml online a month ago because I have loved it for many years. My uncle used to wear this many many years ago and it stayed with me.

[@surfgreen111]

5 seconds in, this is already getting a thumbs up. It’s a great scent!!!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Brett this ones one of the greatest of all time

[@asafhalevy5927]

My dad used it many years and when I started using perfumes I took it from him. When I wore it I felt the most masculine in the world. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for the review 🔥🔥

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Asaf Halevy glad you enjoyed it he video ! My dad used this when he was younger but didn’t have it in the house when I was growing up, I would have taken it as well eventually i’m sure lol

[@flipjupiter1]

Your dad wore it on our first date at the gay club.

[@famousyoutuber2375]

One of the best “soapy” clean frags in the game , I’ve never been a fan of the opening ... but it settles nice within about 40mins !

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

FlattyBaddy _D Ahh damn the opening for me is awesome but at least you like the dry down lol, thank you for watching and commenting dude!

[@famousyoutuber2375]

My reasoning behind that is I’m 37 , throughout most my life I would ask people what they were wearing.... so many times I heard Paco Rabanne.... but for years I tried it/ & the opening always had me second guessing if it was the right one ☝️... now it’s in my easy-reach group .... when I’m not sure what to spray I know PRPO won’t let me down

[@tommasopezzato2335]

So true. I tried it last week, I found it disgusting. After 1 h it was very good.

[@joeyj3000]

Couldn’t have said it better. It was my sotd. Absolutely the best ! Anytime, anywhere it’s just great. My scent of the week was another of your recommendations, Hugo Boss no. 1. Thanks again Kelan for all you do. Cheers

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Joey J ah that’s great ! PRPH is one of the best ! And boss number one also! You can’t go wrong ! Great week for scents lol

[@veritasvincit2745]

For me it's one of those that I appreciate more each time I wear it. Perhaps once every six weeks or so. I bought blind and first time I wore it I thought that I'd smelled it a million times down my life in different places. After getting used to it I rate it highly. You give it a good review. I'm 52 next week and it works well for me now. I have the aftershave version too now and it's perfect for after the shower and shave. I do have to add that I've received no complements and one complaint about it but the complainer was a much younger guy at work which suggests it's a more mature fragrance.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Try and get that guy fired lol. Thank you for watching and commenting dude!

[@megaren]

Hi Kelan, Great review. I am 41 & remember smelling Paco Rabanne PH, Azzaro PH, Givenchy Gentleman, Drakkar Noir, Chanel Anteus & Aramis for Men on my dad & seeing them on his dresser at various points of my childhood. Paco Rabanne ph is class personified among the characterless candy smelling so called men’s fragrances these days. Not sure about you l, but I feel invigorated throughout the day if I apply this in the morning. So fresh and clean it is from top to base. Regards Renoy

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Paco Rabanne Pour Homme is among one of the all time greatest scents ever !

[@shave-a-thon3415]

In the mid 1980's, I went to see Chubby Checker at a Manhattan club called "The Bottom Line". The place was packed and we had the front center table. Chubby would jump off the stage and on to our table a few times during the evening. By the time he did his last song which was of course, "The Twist", he was dripping Paco Rabanne scented perspiration all over the table! It smelled like he doused himself with the equivalent of 25 sprays but back then a few sprays or a splash was all that was enough to obtain the saturated scent cloud effect. I wore this back in the 1980's when all designers released atomizer and splash bottles. I bought the splash because you received a larger bottle for less dough. Two splashes on the chest in the early evening and there was an all night scent cloud. It was very strong back then with no limitations on oakmoss. If you walked into a singles dance club, it smelled like the air conditioning system was pumping this out! Every guy wore Paco!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Shave- a-thon haha that’s a great story, i wish they were all as strong as back in the day but I’m just thankful that it’s still being made ! Thank you for watching and commenting sir !

[@shave-a-thon3415]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey You're very welcome! All reviewers should do what I do on occasion. Contact the companies at the upper levels (I email their top executives) and ask not only why do they bother to sometimes release weak, air fresheners, but why are there limited releases in Europe but those releases aren't available in the USA? For example, "Stronger With You" flankers like Intensely and Freeze aren't officially available in the USA but are on the Armani site for direct sale in Canada. Of course, another example is Dior with Dior Homme Intense and DHP. If you aren't already registered with ArmaniBeautyUSA, do so because they offer great discount codes by email. They had a few terrific 40% off sales.

Thanks for this great review of a timeless classic Kelan. Paco Rabanne Pour Homme won the FIFi Award for the best men's fragrance in 1975, Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez gave it four stars out of five in their book Perfumes: The A-Z Guide and grooming expert and fragrance connoisseur Lee Kynaston has put it in his Olfactory Hall of Fame and regards it as one of the greatest men's fragrances ever created: It's a manly fragrance and it won't appeal to people who like sweet synthetic bubble gum fragrances like One Million. It smells very different to the generic-smelling men's fragrances that are currently popular. Paco Rabanne Pour Home's charm is slow to reveal itself, but it's subtly seductive - the more you wear it, the more it grows on you. I started wearing it again last autumn because I wanted a change from Boss Bottled. I love smelling it on myself and I don't care whether other people like it or not. However, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme is something of a dark horse - it has garnered lots of unsolicited compliments when I wear it, which is something that I didn't expect.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It’s arguably the greatest barbershop scent of all time and definitely one of the greatest classics for sure, I love the stuff. Thank you for watching and commenting sir!

One of my top 5 old schools hands down. Got it as a Christmas gift back in the early 80’s and it was nuclear performance. Unapologetically masculine, a wonderful blend. Need to revisit. 👍🏻

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

John D it’s absolutely among my all time favorite scents for sure, I wish I could try a fresh vintage version but thankfully the new formula that I have is still great

Great review! I enjoy PRPH quite a bit. It's very soapy to my nose, leaving a just showed scent for several hours. If you haven't reviewed them yet, I'd be interested in your opinions and ratings on once popular classics such as the original Old Spice, Brut, Hai Karate, and Skin Bracer.

Andy DeWitt thank you for watching and commenting sir! I have brut and skin braver but I have not reviewed them just yet

[@AndyDeWittMusic]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey I recently purchased Tabac for the first time, based on your recommendation, and am enjoying it a lot. It sits next to PRPH on my shelf, as they provide the same function. I find the opening of Tabac to be smoother, with the performance of the two to be similar. So, thanks for suggesting that one! Oh, and another frag I forgot to request for you to review in the future is English Leather, the only cologne my father ever owned.

[@johnw218]

This is so nice. If i only had 1 fragrance i could use rest of my life i dont think could go wrong with this. Smells great through all stages of wearing and pretty adaptable for all occasions i think.

Thanks for the heads up on this fragrance man✌️✌️✌️. I'm a guy that's just starting out on my fragrance journey, and this is just as you described it.

[@dondan2973]

Hi Kelan, thanks for this great re-review of one of the greatest of all time and one of my all time favorites! 👍🏻 To me it smells like our vacation on Mallorca/Spain where we stay once a year at a beautiful beach at a pine forest. When you go from the hotel to the beach through this forest the air smells like prph. I love the scent and the bottle so much, I even hunted down the 1 liter bottle in each design from every decade pr issued. Like with all great classics, they had everything, soap, shower gel, AS balm etc. what they all stoped. The deos and AS are now only available online anymore in Germany, and in stores you will only find -if you are lucky- the 100 ml EdT. It‘s an absolute shame what they do with those classics! 🤬 Looking forward to your next video. Stay safe and healthy. BR, Dan.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Don Dan that’s an awesome story ! It’s great when a scent can remind you of a specific place or time especially one as nice as that vacation spot sounds ! I had to get all the matching products to this scent since it’s one of the greatest ever

[@richardaubrey382]

Great review !! ...I have a vintage and I wait 10 minutes for the top notes to wear off and then it turns into a beautiful oak moss beast . So soapy and sharp and put together. Something like this will never go out of style.. Keep em coming ! Great job my friend.

My father wore Paco and Polo Green for years. I used to break his balls and say his cologne was like gasoline. Not the smell but the projection. LOL. I remember using Paco a few times in my teens. I'm 40 now and I recently picked up a bottle of Paco. Still smells the same as I remember. I really enjoy it. Can't wait to go to my parent's house and have my father smell my new scent. Hahahaha. Great review!

[@musamba101]

I got it the other day. I can say, that after years of searching, I finally found the ultimate Sopranos cologne. It just has that classical man smell from back in the day. But it definitively is not for man children. You have to own this cologne. You have to hit it or quit it. Paco demands no less.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I agree for sure, I did a video where I picked cologne for sopranos characters and Paco Rabanne Pour Homme definitely fits Paulie lol I love the scent one of the greats. Thank you for watching and commenting sir

[@alamore5084]

Nice review and a fair rating. The smell is really good, wear it working out and seems to reactivate with a workout. The scent is quite unique today as you say, it is not a kids bubblegum! The scent is also addictive and just when you think it has settled has some more zing to it. Epic fragrance!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It’s one of the best barbershop style classics ! Thank you for watching

[@coolumar335]

Great fougere - probably my favorite herbal scent ever. It's crazy how Paco Rabanne was making panty-dropper frags even 30 years ago with this. Pour Homme gets compliments like crazy for me b/c ppl are not used to it w/ their olfactory senses

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It is one of the greatest scents and definitely the best from Paco Rabanne for sure, way better than what they put out today but I guess times have changed in what they consider “in” with scents. Thank you for watching and commenting dude !

Great review. It’s an all time classic, and definitely uplifting as you say. Had this back in the early nineties, and every time I wear it now in 2020 it transports me back, sends me surfing on a brief wave of nostalgia. Hard to believe so much time has passed, and it’s great to have a few of these special fragrances, that act as a direct bridge to memories of the past. Fahrenheit is another one that transports me back in time when I get a whiff. Aramis also. And Blue Stratos.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

S G it’s crazy how a scent can do that, there are a few for me that bring back memories of being younger and around my dad when he was wearing a specific cologne. I have Aramis I should wear that more now that it’s fall, I’ve also wanted to try blue stratos too

[@sg8475]

Blue Stratos was really popular here in Australia back in the 80’s/90’s. Still readily available at discount chemists, with a full range of aftershave, EDT, soaps, deodorants... has been reformulated but still has a great scent and the DNA is pretty much the same.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

S G I can only see it on eBay really or something other online retailers. Is it a very blue style scent ? Or does it have a masculine edge since it’s a classic era scent ?

[@sg8475]

It has a definite barber shop feel, with a bit of citrus and a hint of an aqua feel. Very fresh and masculine, with an old school 70’s vibe.

[@marz7139]

[@ROCKGRINDER12]

PACO RABANNE is an awesome cologne, a great fragrance for late fall and whole spring season; I wore it in the past and I like it a lot; now, if we put PACO RABANNE vs BOGART(signature) .......... this can be a very serious contest and such a difficult decision where to chose from ...... as I know both fragrances and I've enjoyed wearing them, I can say I would go for BOGART(signature); they are very similar siblings but BOGART got that some dirty-green and mossy base that PACO RABANNE hasn't got; don't take me wrong, both are awesome but in my personal preference I will go for BOGART without a doubt.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Ahh that’s such a tough call idk I’d have to go paco Rabanne Pour Homme by a hair but they are both amazing !

[@justaddlight]

Excellent scent. I was the opposite - immediately loved Azzaro PH but took my time with this one. Unfortunately, there's just something weird about how the oakmoss that PR uses mixes with my skin...doesn't sit right sometimes. I noticed the same thing with the drydown of 1 Million Lucky. Almost reminds me of a chlorinated pool. Otherwise, it's a goodie for sure.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Just Add Light that’s funny it took me 3 years for azzaro lol but that’s unfortunate, I love PRPH it is one of the greatest, thanks for commenting bro!

I remember wearing this shit to the city during the pandemic in '20 and early '21. I was a heavy smoker back in the day (Even if it was completely non recommended because of COVID) and i remember digging it since July - September of '20 all the way to now. Stopped wearing it from '22 to '24 but either way it's a nice memory. I wore it when i was 19 and i could rock it now as well. I just liked more other frags back in the day like Polo green and Givenchy Gentleman. I've also had other 'houses like One Man Show, Lapidus, Drakkar Noir, Antaeus and Fahrenheit clones, Pour Lui, a clone of Z14, stuff like that, yet PRPH is one of my faves still. Gonna buy a bottle this weekend

Great video. Totally on point. 10/10

thank you for the support im glad you enjoyed the review !

[@bromunn8102]

One of those classic must haves. I haven't had it as long as some of my favorites, but I like it and the price is great.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

BRO MUNN it’s one of my favorite scents, thank you for watching!

[@megaren]

Hi Kelan, Do you like Paco by Paco Rabanne? I think it’s quite a classy summer fragrance compared to the abysmal releases they have these days. Do you have it in your arsenal? What do they even make these days? Phantom?What the heck??? Kind Regards Renoy

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I have tried it and it smells very familiar like I smelled it when I was younger, but I do not have a bottle of it. When I did smell it in a store I thought it smelled nice. And phantom is garbage lol

[@megaren]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Just watched an old video of Chris from Scent land on the best from Paco Rabanne. It had Eau and Sport. Quite intrigued but will never be able to enjoy them as they are discontinued. Do you like XS- the original & the reformulated?I still remember the day the dad brought it home in 1994 & I was so enamoured by the fragrance. He even got the pour elle sample which was complimentary. The Pour Elle was also so beautiful. Sadly discontinued!

[@SirSmellaLot]

Great scent thanks for the detailed video!!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Sir Smell-A-Lot have you tried this one ?

[@SirSmellaLot]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey I have it's a classic. I don't own a bottle currently but I do have a perfume parlour clone which is really good. While I will secretely admit to being an Invictus fan, this is clearly their best scent. And far removed from the bubble gum stuff they produce today. Not that I dislike those frags but they are ultimately forgettable in the grand scheme of things when compared to this one!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Sir Smell-A-Lot that’s cool I have never seen a clone or impression of this scent I’d be Curious to try that, and invictus haha jk

[@SirSmellaLot]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Prady do a clone of it called Banadelli 😆 the quality wouldn't be the best I would say 😂

[@kewoppi927]

Do you think it would be alright using this fragrance when I also use things like cocoa butter daily? Or would that smell strange? I’m just starting to get into using different fragrances and I’d like to try this one but I have to use cocoa butter every day so I’m worried they won’t pair well together

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Well cocoa butter definitely has a scent to it, maybe let it dry a bit then apply the Paco Rabanne Pour Homme. See how it is, you can apply the fragrance to your clothes too. Or use a scentless lotion too

[@rhoodj]

Thank you. I will go for 6.7oz new version

As a kid, I wore this a lot, taken from my father's or grandfather's cabinet, as an adult I bought it and it feels soapy, post-shower cleaning product, but it is better than Axe, right?

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Hell yeah dude! Greetings from México, thank you for doing the review. by the way, i use it and i am 19, but i guess girls would turn their heads smelling something different than Sauvage or stuff. Maybe not a sure compliment on this fragrance from a girl my age but still smelling good and some older people say back in the day it was a Womanizer cologne, ladies magnet. Attracting divorced women maybe? lol

[@MetodiSpasov]

Might be my favorite

[@javierdiazsantana]

by the way, it got added a lemony top note and the musk was replaced by tobacco, in the latest versions.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Did it really ? I am not sure what year my bottle is but it’s almost finished and at least 2 years old. Thank you for watching and commenting Javier!

[@javierdiazsantana]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Yeah, i've noticed it in a time i tested the fragrance here in Mexico, the girl that was giving me the fragrance tests actually told me it was a citrus fragrance, not a fougere. Greetings, cool vid!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@javierdiazsantana it’s definitely a fougere I’d have to say

[@javierdiazsantana]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Greetings. Looking at these comments rn, hope you're well. I do recall it being sold as a "citrus / wood" fragrance. I guess because the sellers don't really know the olfactive families and they handed me Ralph's Club when i asked for a russian leather fragrance. XD Anyways, i've gained more knowledge onto the topic as i've dove deeper into perfumery (I am the perfumer for my own house) and i have to say that indeed, the current formula got a few elements replaced for synthetics and a bit sweeter and smoother, compared to the animalic - honey in the vintage formulas. The current still mentions Evernia Prunastri extract in the ingredients, meaning it prolly has an oakmoss accord with the actual natural origin absolute from it as part of it, but also probably a good dose of veramoss / synthetic moss in there as well. The musk still is present in the current but they did a somewhat interesting accord between the moss, coumarin, musk and stuff that the base pretty much smells of fresh spicy tobacco, like a cigar before lighting or stuff like that, opposite to the dominant oakmoss, musk and amber drydown of the vintage, along the animalic honey. Greetings and best wishes

[@JamesBond-rv1kk]

I've got my eye on this but it's priced a bit on the higher side. Should I get this or Bogart signature which is cheaper. I hear they smell similar. Which one is better ?

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

That’s a great question. Overall I think Paco Rabanne Pour Homme is better it was a love at first try for me, where as Bogart signature whole cheaper at first I was not that impressed and felt it just reminded me of original Aramis. But then after a while I revisited Bogart signature and realized how awesome it really is I love that one too. If I had to pick one though it would be paco Rabanne. As far as price goes check discounters but signature is much less and still awesome ! You can’t go wrong with with either

PR Pour Homme gives the the honey tobacco vibes of Pure Havane (Obviously a more earthy version). I'm gonna try PR PH layered with a pinch of Pure Havane - I can see these making magic together. PR PH gives me fall vibes - like right when all the greenery starts to slightly crisp vs when they start to bloom (Late sept) and when all the sweet pies start being baked. GORGEOUS - at least the late 90's version is. Just ordered a 70s vintage w the brown juice.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thank you for watching and commenting dude ! However I get now honey or tobacco from Paco it’s definitely a green barbershop scent to me personally

[@blackpillfitness9136]

I’m 25 and I hate most of the popular men’s fragrances of today. Not sure who all of these new scents are made for but they’re definitely more unisex. I think it may be because more young women are trying to be more like men nowadays and want to wear men’s fragrances. These companies see an opportunity to sell more product maybe (to females)?
