love this fragrance, i have an older bottle of new formulation like 2012/2015 i guess, its beastly on me. awesome review brother

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

That’s a good idea I should probably look for one in that era I’m sure the price will be decent and it will be high quality ! Thank you for stopping by Joy !

Joy, hello there . I watch your videos too . I texted you some time back, but i never got a response . Being as you have so many subscribers . My question is a couple years back you reviewed Popstar Aqua, and you gave it glowing reviews . I checked Ebay like you said, and found nothing . Do you know where it can be found ?

Love these kind of comparison videos. They are honest observations, not like other channels where the vintage is *always* "so much better"

That’s my goal to really figure out if it’s significantly better or just moderate differences . Thank you for watching and commenting!

Can't beat a true classic and a must for any fragrance collection.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Either vintage or current it’s an absolute must have you are correct!

[@chad_howell]

This is one of the best fragrances ever made! I've had a couple of different formulations, you can pick out different nuances through the different stages of the fragrance, but still, even the newer forms are still worth having! Fantastic barber shop fragrance!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

One of the all time great barbershop fragrances ever made absolutely, I enjoy both formulations I have. I might look for the older newer version if that makes sense like the first release of the new formulation. It might be a good one to have since it would be right in between

[@SomeRandomBod]

Little tip. I have the modern paco & brought a 10ml bottle of non ifra oak moss (£15), after putting a few drops into a decanted 30ml it turned the yellowish green of the vintage. Plus more importantly I got the beautiful mossy depth added to the scent.

[@oldiesgeek454]

@Some. Where did you buy the 10ML bottle of non IFRA Oakmoss?... Thanks. 😊

[@powersportswear4031]

I’m doing the same but with Polo Green. And natural deer musk, and pine absolute.

[@RamseytheRam]

I have the vintage that i think is older than the vintage bottle you have because the R on my splash bottle is raised. I noticed that on my vintage splash that animalic honey note is really turned up. My fathers signature scent is paco rabanne pour homme and has been my whole life. I sprayed the vintage formula on his hand from a decant without telling him what fragrence it is i was spraying and after smelling it he looked at me and said "whats this"? He had no clue it was paco rabanne pour homme until about the 2 to 3 minute mark lol and he wears the current formula everyday! So for me as a collector its a must have. But honestly like you i am just glad they are still making it as its such an iconic scent. -Ramsey

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Absolutely I’m thankful it’s still being made and the current formula is still very good and the dry down remains pretty close to the vintage. I’m glad I have to too !

[@The7dioses]

Absolutely love this frag. I feel very masculine and down to earth with this one. Nothing metro or unisex about it like a high percentage of frags nowadays. Is it sophisticated? No. It’s a straight forward manly, soapy, oakmoss scent, I find it addictive and find myself reaching out at this one A LOT more than I remotely thought I would.

[@justaddlight]

[@JONATHAN-db2ry]

For me I have several vintage editions of the EDT and the aftershave and the vintage wins hands down. The citrus and florals in my second edition are stunning the oakmoss unbelievable. Even the aftershaves are worth having. Just got a vintage PR shave foam in perfect condition smells fantastic ✌

[@9EricCN3]

I think this fragrance has aged pretty well, relatively speaking. I got a newer bottle from Ross a couple years ago and it smelled awesome - very aftershave-y and masculine, not too harsh, and not missing too much depth. I don't have the original to compare it to but in some modern formulations of classic fragrances you can just tell they've been neutered (Loewe Esencia, for example)

[@thomassantur107]

I have a Loewe Esencia from the green bottle, and it does have a very rich aroma, but it has no body.

[@ikemontanez7492]

Thank you my good sir, 2 videos this week you are on a roll.I was born in 1968 so in my so in my early twenties I used to wear the paco raban I used to wear the paco rebanne original and the paco rebanne sport and I loved them both. I'm going to buy a bottle of the current formulation today! It would be nice if they would put out a reformulation of the sport version, Because I am not going to hunt down a vintage bottle at this point, Even though it was one of my favorites back in the day.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I have sport I really like it but it’s not nearly as good as the Original I think. The current formula is really good too I think you’ll like it. It would be awesome if they redid sport too good idea

[@thetones0130]

Had the OG way back when and didn't appreciate it as much as I do know. I just love the stuff, could possibly be my signature scent. Been contemplating dropping ~$200 for a vintage 120 ml splash but I've had a change of heart. Thanks for saving me a pretty penny!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yeah that is a lot, you’d want to make sure it’s in prestige condition and in many cases depending on wear you buy it the scent may have faded or spoiled a bit. Eventually if you keep looking you’ll find a better deal and in the mean time the current one is awesome as well. Thank you for watching Tony !

[@SorryIAteYourCookiesSanta]

Tony, try finding a sprayer version they hold up way better since minimal oxygen is introduced to the juice (depending on level) . I too was hovering over a splash vintage, but was always weary about splash because they're easy to refill and they go bad if they're not bnib. But alas, i finally found a brand new 1973 spray bottle! Super stoked i love this juice the opening and ESPECIALLY the dry down it mesmerizes me! Good luck with your search! *edit : just realized it's been a year haha hope you found one by now

Oh how I ever so adore this fragrance. Wearing Azzaro Pour Homme, but just sprayed a tiny spray of Paco on a card to get that smell, it never fails to bring me pure joy. So green, and fresh soapy, shaving creamy and very masculine. This juice is Iconic, adorable, and is the absolute balls 💈🧼💪

[@JMigUK]

Very interesting to see your view on their differences, I gather the current formulation is still fantastic as it’s still being sold in large numbers. In my view it’s all down to IFRA to have such an effect on the use of naturals but glad this one was kept close to the original at least in the dry down , kudos to Paco Rabanne.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yes this one really does maintain a lot of its original qualities minus the opening notes being a little sweeter than the vintage but by the dry down that soapy green scent that I love is still there. Thank you for watching and commenting dude

Found this video and is amazing, i have a previous formulation of your vintage and is nothing compared with those of. The bottle is from that late 80 is written on the bottle 90% alcohol i think is the second formation amd the opening is brutal oakmoss and honey are the main notes even the dry down is extremely powerful is a unique experience with this sent , the liquid is yellow to brown with a transparent bottle .i got it a full bottle and now is 60procent , planing to gift to my son when he will be old enough 😅 so i can use few puffs, ….all the best

[@mymy4110]

Just to help, I am old enough to have gone through 3 bottles of the first addition (was easy they had splash then) according to basenotes reviewer Martin "If you were to line up all 6 versions and test them, you would find that there has been a steady, progressive departure from the original, into a totally different fragrance. If I had to rank the size of these changes in numerical terms, it would look something like this: 1st Edition - 100% 2nd Edition - 97% 3rd Edition - 92% 4th Edition - Unknown 5th Edition - 50% 6th Edition - 20%" I have had 4 of these editions and generally agree with his opinion. This scent is near the pinnacle for me.

[@javierdiazsantana]

Hey brother. I'm enjoying both formulas, i don't have the vintage though. The current still has natural oakmoss either way

[@danielkade1234]

Have you tried Paco Rabanne Eau? I love it, more than the original, as it is a classic fresh cologne profile without the musk which I find too heavy.

[@walid7885]

Awesome, It's a shame that the aftershave which has a lower concentration is more expensive than the EDT.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It’s funny how that works out, I have noticed that a lot with tracking down the collections sometimes the aftershaves are more expensive due to being more rare

[@alexeybezobrazov4508]

The color of the juice is amazing. Like leather bomber jacket from the 80's. The vintage one. I am trying to find on Ebay vintage Paco Rabanne Pour Homme with sprayer. Is it heavier and deeper than current formulation or Polo Green with sintetic oakmoss.? Best

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yes that is correct it’s more earthy smelling however the current formula is awesome and if you can’t find a good deal on the vintage don’t over spend especially since you run the risk of getting a sour bottle, make sure to message the seller first and get it in writing

Good review man. I saw in another video that you like Kouros. Have a try of "El" by Arquiste. Many vintage fans of Kouros have claimed it is a higher quality and more refined version of the classic.

I believe I will continue with jo malone..and scent my linenwear with the latter or just throw in the trash bin..I guess I was trying to bring back the memories associated with Paco and Aramis..I failed and still in 2020.

Would also like to find a Paco Rabanne sport or one that smell similar

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I reviewed that one, I have a few bottles it’s good, selling one right now in my Mercari page

[@dondudilekdagatar1141]

wonderful

[@giocharles]

Paco Rabanne pour home was my favourite and first aftershave I ever used. Now I do not know what they have done recently to the formula. I know the company has changed hands & maybe over the years they have continually tweaked the formula or omitted some ingredients due to European laws It has more of a over the top soap smell a lot stronger than before which spoils it for me. Could be my sense of smell has changed since COVID but Armani EUR pour homme my other all time favourite still smells the same

[@aquamanvonfloozerhoffen5067]

I bought the current version a year-and-a-half ago based on your earlier review. It was a small bottle for $20, so what the heck. I find it pretty unwearable, but I know I would love it as an aftershave, so I plan to buy that eventually. Does your girlfriend actually like this one on you? I asked a female friend and she didn't even want to spray it after smelling the atomizer.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

You would use it as an aftershave but not an edt? You might not enjoy the scent then which happens, there are several classics I do not like that others love. She does like it on me says it’s a clean scent. The opening is very sharp so I I can see that being a love or a hate for some people

[@aquamanvonfloozerhoffen5067]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Yes, it is weird that I want the aftershave but not the EDT. I love the presentation and old-school vibe of this one; I really wanted to like it. To experience a touch of that, with a faster fade-away of the scent, I've been looking at the aftershave. I was surprised to see the aftershave at a department store a few weeks ago, as I have never seen it in a retail store before given how specific of a product it is. I did find the EDT to have pretty close to beast-mode performance, but the strongest one in my collection right now is One Million Lucky (of which you are probably no fan!). Keep up the great work.

Apparently there's a difference between the eau de toilette and the vapourisatour spray versions. The latter is supposed to be made in France .

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I didn’t know that actually I wonder how different it was. Thank you for watching and commenting Thomas

[@LuizOliver777]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey My understanding is that both versions are still being made. The natural spray / Edt is made in Spain and supposedly watered down

[@georgedipaula8880]

Phoenix shaving makes a good clone aftershave of this scent

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

That’s good a company makes an impression of a classic

[@jerryfach1834]

Salut je suis un fan éternel de Paco Rabanne pour homme et je possède des bouteilles qui date de 2008 jusqu'à 2012 et je possède deux bouteille de 2020 et ma conclusion et que ce parfum vieilli merveilleusement bien si il est garder dans sa boîte mais bouteilles de 2008 et 2012 sont comme un bon vins bien conserver contrairement aux bouteilles de 2020 qui sont encore trop nouvelle pour avoir bien laisser vieillir la formule

[@muammerd524]

Good

Güzeldir

[@25erzm51]

I can try and see what happens

[@davefigore7843]

Well ... I am from the 80's era and Paco Rabanne Pour Homme was my only scent then. I did try a current version recently and to my nose it has become just a Shadow of itself ... its Ok but I don't see myself wearing it again. Jacques Bogart's Bogart seems to have a better vibe for me in my opinion.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I like Bogart signature more than the current form of Paco Ph as well

[@hasbro2007]

I’ve I used the classic formula back in the 70s and it was a beast and lasted for days! Current version nowhere near as good.

[@okanowl633]

Very Good Çok Güzel :)

It this a Fougere or a Chypre?

Fougere however they share similarities I think

[@javierdiazsantana]

I think i am failing to enjoy nowadays the sweetness of PR Pour Homme in its modern formula and found a clone of the vintage which has a deeper moss and i think i recall it was less sweet. That one i guess is next in the list

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Oh wow what’s the clone of the vintage called ?

[@javierdiazsantana]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Exactly the same, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, it is from a brand that makes the clone essences (oil) and sells them, i found it in a local shop that sells the essences just to mix with alcohol and has several rather classic colognes and perfumes such as Anais Anais, Chanel No. 5 and Calandre for women and several classics for men
