Top 20 Classic Mens Fragrances, Colognes Ranked + Honorable Mentions | Classic Men's Scents

[@mnadz2395]

Can not like this video enough 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. I’ve been waiting for someone to do a video like this!!! It helps that I really love Eau Sauvage and Heritage and wear them frequently! Also wear Vetiver, Gentlemen and Habit Rouge. I’m a 45 yr old filled with nostalgia.

[@shave-a-thon3415]

I think I suggested this one to Mr. Jara a few times. This is a double treat. A great topic and a chance to play the Sebastian Jara Drinking Game (every time he says "if that makes sense", down the beverage of your choice. Sometimes he gets carried away and that's when the community has trouble standing by the end of the video!

[@carlrebeiro]

I'm 56 and I like classic fragrances because that's what I grew up with. - Kouros - Oh man, that brings back memories of being a college freshman in 1982. The original Aramis was my first fragrance when I was 14 years old in 1977. Aramis had a huge line back then, 40+ products with the Aramis scent DNA such as muscle soak, deodorant, shampoo, everything you could imagine. I also remember Devin by Aramis. I loved it. Have you ever tried it? - BTW, I love your channel. I don't think most people realize all the effort that goes into such a smooth presentation. It's very hard doing such a long video in 1 take. Very impressive. - This is OT, but I too love Dior Homme. I had the original (with the metal stem in the bottle) back in 2009. I would KILL to try the parfum version.

[@MaxForti]

Great list Sebastian, some of my all time favorites!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Awesome!! :)

[@mohamadsiddig9666]

Hi Iam trust on you so I need your help. Dior Savuage EDT VS Terre d'hermes EDT Witch one is more masculine and beastly performance

[@RPD91]

I’m 27 and most of my favorite fragrances are pre 2000s. The list includes: Hugo Boss Bottled Cartier Declaration And my number one fragrance for me (which is heavily underrated IMO) is CH Herrera. I fell in love with it back in 2008 when I received it as a gift. I’m definitely getting the 200ml bottle. Great list by the way 👍🏻

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I should probably do a part two. But you know I wore HERRERA in 1993. Loved it so much. And later a year after I bought Paco Rabanne XS and so loved wearing those two. They sort of reminded me of one another! :)

[@Mas_Tun]

I wish I could like this video more than once. Hardly anyone on KZbin talks positively about Grey Flannel. It's one of my fav fragrances of all time. Masterpiece. This list actually has quite a few of my all time favs.

[@Zangalwaal]

I have grey flannel- I really like it. Masculine and classic- a mature mans fragrance.

[@luismayor3422]

I Haven't checked out the original but definitely enjoy Eau De Grey Flannel!

[@christopherbass4521]

I'm 33 and definitely prefer the Classics. I really like Barbershop Frags. I made a massive list when I started, tried a ton of stuff and every time I go to the mall a lot of stuff seems to be a clone of a clone. A good cheap 80's kind of scent always smells unique. Haven't found two that were redundant yet.

[@CC33777]

Great list. Aramis Havana is one of my all-time favorite fragrances. The new bottle is very faithful to the original and mostly smells the same, but the vintage blue cone bottle version is better, smoother, richer, longer lasting.

[@veritasvincit2745]

This is a super list. I got into fragrance very recently. I'm 50 and didn't buy many before about two years ago. What this means is that classic fragrances like these are a win-win situation for me. Win because I can appreciate and approach most of them as something new, fresh and exciting. Win also because a few of them that I am familiar with act like nostalgic Pavlovian triggers which whisk me back to where I first smelled them. That's a really pleasant experience at times.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Amazing!! :)

[@timrush9779]

I have always been into scent but only got very obsessed a few years ago. I started with these classics - many hold their own to the buzzy niche fragrance and actually I prefer some of these. Caron, Guerlain etc. are all favorites now.

[@herbyverstink]

whats not a win is trying to acquire these old classics..especially with idiots on ebay asking hundreds the moment something is discontinued...for fragrances which were 30-60$ when new

[@peterpho]

Thanks for this!! As an older (more “mature “?) guy, your choices really remind me of different times in my life. It’s interesting how strong our olfactory memories are. The Chanel fragrances in particular really reminded me of my adolescence (I really am dating myself!). I’m really enjoying all of your videos. I appreciate getting an opinion from someone near my own age. Keep up the incredible job!

[@justaddlight]

Wonderful list! 3 Guerlains, 3 Diors and 4 Chanels. Win.

[@Mikeaveli2682]

Heritage is incredible. I slightly prefer the EDT to the EDP.

[@muntster]

Guerlain Heritage = smooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth It is niche quality with a designer price tag. I hear rumors that older formulations are better, but I honestly do not know how that is even possible, haha. I own the newest formulation (both EDT & EDP) and It blows my mind every time I wear it. I do prefer the EDT, as I feel it is a more balanced fragrance. The patchouli in the EDP is just a bit too dominant to my liking. As long as Guerlain keeps making it, I will always own a bottle. Well deserving of the #1 spot.

[@masterbetty8839]

exactly

[@shivaskrivs2612]

You forgot about Halston. Both 1-12 and Z14 were staples for me in the late 70’s. Not the best but definitely worthy of mention for classic men’s fragrances. Still available as well.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

On the old channel back in 2012 I had a comparison video of Halston Z-14 with Italian Cypress by Tom Ford. I love Z-14 I have a lot of memories with it but I currently do not own it and in recent years friends bought it and I smelled and for some reason it seemed like it was totally destroyed unfortunately. Also Drakkar Noir I love means a lot to me wore 3 bottles in the 80s but haven't bought since then! :)

[@neoguy986]

You forgot Paco Rabanne Pour Homme. One of the staples from the 70-80's. Classic as well.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yeah I don't own it currently. But yes a good one for sure! :)

[@WhitemenaresoSexy]

Paco Rabanne Original is the bomb

[@mohamadattar9330]

Also ARMANI pour homme...🌹

Becoming a big fan of Guerlain fragrances. I personally have Vetiver, and Heritage. Got my eye on Habit Rouge because I also like Shalimar.

[@NotstarvinMarvin]

Habit rouge and shalimar are granny fragrances.

[@Oscar-vr1lg]

@@NotstarvinMarvin why?

[@NotstarvinMarvin]

@@Oscar-vr1lg they smell like that. People like to hype old things..

[@timrush9779]

This is an amazing video! Caron pour un homme, Guerlain Vetiver, Habit Rouge and Heritage are all in my top rotation. I have the EDP of Heritage and boy is it a big, fabulous fragrance. Luca Turin describes its 'radiance' and it is the perfect description. It could be relaunched today and be a blockbuster Niche scent.

[@jonathantipke1655]

I’m 34 and own every Guerlain on this list... truly timeless scents. Makes me think about trying all the others on the list that I haven’t got my nose on yet. Great list, thanks again!

[@donvito654]

I never hear anyone talk about Pierre Cardin... That one was my signature scent throughout the 80’s

[@tompowell4567]

Really prefer these older scents. Got so much more about them

[@tally1604]

Even though I no longer consider myself a fraghead, I still like to watch fragcomm videos. Yours in particular. It's like a little hair of the dog for my fragrance hangover :)

[@martinrandall5836]

Hi from the UK. Great video. I've not been subbed long and when this came up as recommended I had to take a look. They say when you die your life flashes before your eye's, well, this was the olfactory version of that, without even having these bottles in front of me, I can remember these scents on my grandad, dad, and older brothers, and then when I started to buy and wear my own. Sophia, my wife, says she hasn't seen a smile on my face like this in a long time. I'm sixty years young now and I'm going to have to get reacquainted with some if not all of these. Thanks.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Awesome, great story. Amazing stuff! Thank you. :)

[@sarifuchs]

Great list. I would add Quorum and Lapidus. Thanks for the video.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

My Quorom has disappeared otherwise I wore it back in the mid 80s. Ted Lapidus I have only smelled and it's great. Never owned it. I should though. :)

[@WhitemenaresoSexy]

@@ThePerfumeGuy Quorum is still around. Its still masculine, heavy and smells great

[@TheChazas]

I would like to mention I love: Azzaro Chrome, Pour Homme and Onyx, Joop Homme, Dior Fahrenheit and Eau Sauvage, Mugler Amen, Chanel Egoiste Platinum, Guerlain Habit Rouge, CK Obsession, Mugler Cologne, Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme, L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme by Issey Miyake. Awesome list Sebastian.

[@KingdomOfGreenValley]

Perfect video and perfect topic! I’m planning to buy my father in law a perfume gift and this is just perfect because I didn’t grow up around men so I had no clue about classics 😍

[@ryanlussier1300]

Bravo...... thank you Sebastian for an incredible video perhaps one of your best. Thank you for going in a different direction than the rest and giving so many incredible fragrances the spotlight today! I'm 37 and love vintage fragrances, the classic are so important for a fragrance enthusiast to know and understand, I hope you've helped a few passionate people explore these gems. As for me I would add the following: Amouage Gold pour homme the Guy Robert masterpiece along with his other two male releases: Monsieur Rochas and Hermes Equipage. I would also add Hermes Bel Ami, Guerlain Derby, Givenchy Insense, Nicolai New York (intense), D&G pour homme(italy version), Balenciaga Pour homme, and YSL Jazz. All of which I own and love. Again fantastic job well done!!!

[@ManicMindTrick]

The Dior Eau Sauvage EDT is so amazing. So classy, timeless and fresh with a comforting and warm vibe.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Iconic!

[@TyroneNorthcutt]

I just got Eau Sauvage; Lalique Pour Homme EDP (Lion); Habit Rouge and Heritage. Heritage is amazing to me. Like all of them but Heritage fits me very well. Thank you for your very informative reviews.

[@hklmvm01]

Declaration is so good.... women from 20 till 80 will give you compliments.....

[@FernandoGarcia-qe3oc]

Aramis 900 at 9 yrs. Old. She must have been gorgeous and classy. 😍 First loves. Lol. Great reviews.

[@Chris6815]

I’m 50 years old and until recently almost everything in my tiny collection was from the 80’s and 90’s. Which is Drakkar Noir,Davidoff Cool Water, Versace Blue Jeans and Givenchy Play. I just recently started upgrading my collection as I started running out of my Colognes and wanted to see what’s popular,new,etc. I am really interested in trying out Guerlain Heritage,Habit Rouge and Lidge.

[@blacktapes3475]

Good call on Heritage - absolutely one of my favourites! It's the classiest smelling thing I know of, I wear it for driving my 1972 Citroen DS on Sundays. I would have put Givenchy Gentleman much higher but otherwise a great list and I found some new things to try on it. I'm 43 and love the classics.

[@cliffhouser9138]

I'm 72 and I have owned and worn nearly everyone if these fragrances. Great video!

[@rogergraves8108]

I have the bulk of these. But it was from you that I heard of Yatagan. Man that’s a masterpiece! I’m shocked it isn’t talked about more

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Love it. I need a new bottle.

[@pipobert76]

I am 43! I own Anteus , L’instant de Guerlain, pour un Homme de Caron, kouros, all of them remind me of my dad and my uncles. I enjoy them still, and they attract so much attention when I wear them. I love your lists and your channel, it’s the best!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you very much. I appreciate it! :)

[@Markgluth]

I love Heritage, it's my number1 scent of all time. Desert Island pick. EDP slightly more compelling than the EDT, but they are both perfect. I also bought my mom a bottle of Samsara in the 90s.....at the Guerlain Boutique in Epcot. Can't wait to see your review of Heritage.

[@shripneycarsales]

I loved Givenchy Gentlemen back in 1985 as a fourteen year old. Now i have a fourteen year old who likes to wear Aventus and Tom Ford to school......how times change eh ? :-) :-) Great review Sebastian.

[@Tschouki]

Eau Sauvage and Gentleman are eternal for me. Fahrenheit comes and goes but is always there in the background. Recently added Lorenzo Villoresi to my collection - great house.

[@MLukacs]

Sebastian, you’ve done videos on classics before, but this is outstanding ! You give succinct reviews on classics that everyone should sample, at the least. I’ve commented before that I was a signature scent type of guy, owning or wearing one or two fragrances at a time until last fall. At 55 years old, your reviews have helped me remember classics that I’ve worn or smelled in the past, such as Grey Flannel or Dior Eau Sauvage on this list, and discover new classics for which I’ve gained respect, such as the three Guerlain fragrances on your list - Vetiver, Habit Rouge and Heritage or Azzaro Pour Homme. I love how so many of the classics take you back to time spent with your family and how you include those memories in your reviews. Family is so important and as we get older, and closer to the end than the beginning, we appreciate our family and the time we spent with them more and more. When I wear classic fragrances, I often think of the “good old days”, when we life was simpler and we took the time to build family relationships. If I smell dated when I wear them, I’m fine with that. I’m not a kid anymore. But, I can help younger generations, discover and appreciate the classics. Today, my teenage son was describing a fragrance that he likes to my son-in-law, and talked about it’s sillage. I smiled, because he’s learning from watching your reviews with me and us taking about fragrances. These are the memories he’ll have and associate with fragrances. Hopefully, I’ll be able to pass on a nice collection of fragrances to him someday, to remind him and his children what fragrances smelled like in “the good old days”. Thank you for all you do! Your work is very sincerely appreciated!!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thnk you so much Mike! Much appreciated. I totally agree with what you're saying! :)

[@MLukacs]

@@ThePerfumeGuy You're welcome, Sebastian! I forgot to mention that I own the EDP versions of Habit Rouge and Heritage. I really like Habit Rouge and have it on right now. I like Heritage too, but find it to have only a moderate silliage and less longevity than I thought it might have. I realize that reformulations have not helped in either of those categories. Also, I grew up in the 70's and began wearing fragrances in the late 70's and early 80's, so I'm used to fragrances that are long lasting with a heave sillage. I noticed that you included the EDT versions of both. I've not had a chance to sample the EDT versions, but I'm going to try them, especially since you ranked Heritage as #1. Please don't forget to review Heritage in the future as you mentioned in this Top 20. Btw, my son and I watched this review last night, and he wants to sample a few of the fragrances you included. Once again, thank you!

[@frodobalboa]

Loved the video! I am surprised you didn't have Houbigant's Fougere Royale in the list. That's an excellent fragrance and a true classic!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I thought about it but kept it to more designer brands but almost had it in there! :)

[@ChiefGreen]

How about Polo? (Green Bottle) My dad had it when I was younger so I have fond memories of it/appreciate it.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

My dad wore it too but I do not currently own it! :)

[@otejiriagbodoroba]

That's quite a classic list Sebastian. Truly amazing.

[@dkalbryte5715]

Love Yatagan & Egoiste!!

[@MrHorse-by3mp]

Great video. If I really had to nitpick, I'd have to say among fragrances still in production I'd probably say "Bel Ami" by Hermes deserves a place and if I could include the ones that can't be had for love or money I'd put "Macsassar" by Rochas and the original "Nino Cerruti Pour Homme" on there (still have some of the latter in an old bottle!) But again, I say that purely in the spirit of fun of arguing about these kinds of things rather than a real criticism of Sebastian's list, which is all killer no filler.

[@jonitalia6748]

I'm jealous of people who know you personally. You're great

[@lacroix6323]

Great list, a few of my favorites are Escada Pour Homme, Ricci Club,Oscar Pour lui ,Balenciaga Pour Homme and Tailoring by Clinique.

Hi thanks. Do they still make these recommendations? I'll look them up as well. Thanks for stopping by! :)

[@shawnjmaddy]

Love that The Dreamer was highlighted, and devastated that Fahrenheit was so low! 😭 Great list!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I made Fahrenheit so low is because of the noticeable reformulation otherwise it would have ended up higher. Re Dreamer I don't notice the reformulation much compared to Fahrenheit. Hope that makes sense! :)

[@shawnjmaddy]

@@ThePerfumeGuy Oh, for sure. I have a 2008 Fahrenheit that still smells pretty potent, but I know today's version isn't quite the same. The Dreamer, however is CRIMINALLY overlooked. Cheers!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I'm really shocked The Dreamer is still so good compared to all the mediocre fragrances that Versace releases these days!

[@kensears5099]

My "notes browse" brought me here by a funny circuitous route. I was experimenting on Fragrantica with mixes of notes that intrigued me and, after much trial and error, I came across something called Geoffrey Beene's Grey Flannel. Reading about it more at various places I was convinced enough to try it. But just before committing, the thought came to me, has anybody on KZbin reviewed it......? And here I am. And look at that, it was the very first thing you mentioned, as an honorable mention! Almost gave me the chills. Yes, I'm going to try it, blind buy, cautions in mind but so inexpensive, why not. 😊

[@shave-a-thon3415]

The Sebastian Jara Drinking Game timestamps: "If that makes sense" appears at: 6:49, 6:56 and 22:31. Comments: (this is going to be long so grab a cup of coffee, unless you're playing the SJ drinkng game. Then grab two cups!) Thanks for the Grey Flannel mention. I also used to love the pouches they came in. Most of the younger guys on the forums and groups don't like it because it's anything but sweet. I always tell them to sprinkle a few drops on a tissue or handkerchief in the morning. Then smell the dry down in the afternoon. The base of Grey Flannel is fantastic. Perfect scent with a suit. Kouros was a beast in the 1980's. I still have about half left of my 1980's bottle. The reformulation of Aramis Havana is kind of weak. I returned one bottle and the 2nd bottle is a skin scent after maybe 90 minutes of light projection at most. An Estee Lauder rep told me it was discontinued in 2015, Do yourself a favor and test Chrome in Macy's. Check the batch code on the bottom of the tester, If it's 2017 or later, you'll be surprised at how weak it has become. I'm surprised you mentioned Aramis 900. With that, New West, Havana and Tuscany, many feel the best of the flankers is Aramis JHL, named after Estee Lauder's husband, Joseph H. Lauder. There's several formulations of Givenchy Gentleman. Since 2000, I think there's been three different bottles. One has a silver cap and there's 2 bottles with black caps - one has a gray label (yours) and the newer one has a black label). I picked up the 100 ml of Versace Dreamer and Versace Man for about $20 a few years ago when Target still sold men's fragrances during their holiday sale. Both great fragrances. Azzaro Pour Homme has been reformulated a number of times. My 2014 bottle is close to the original bit of edt splash I still have left from the '80's but not as smooth or long lasting. The current formulation I smelled in Macy's seemed a bit different. Try to sniff a tester. Once again, it would be interesting to know your bottle dates. Why don't you do as I do? I write the bottle dates, place of purchase and price on every box. You can check all the bottle changes through 2015 here: raidersofthelostscent.blogspot.com/2015/10/azzaroyesterday-and-today-azzaro-pour.html If you like Guerlain Heritage with lavender and patchouli, I'm surprised you're not a Paul Sebastian fan, especially since you share a name! I guess you weren't a fan of several of my older favorites: Lagerfeld Photo Obsession Pierre Cardin Musk and one of my all timers, especially the beaker bottle design - Halston Catalyst. If you ever smell Catalyst, make sure it's the vintage and not the EA Fragrances reformulation.

[@tombarsens1277]

Missing Paco Rabanne pour Homme and Polo here, otherwise great list. Bought the Dreamer 50ml for 15 bucks last week, absolute bang for your buck for that price, you really can't go wrong.

[@MrShankism]

Smells like bergamot concentrate that almost smells metallic

A bit late to the party here, but I will let you know anyway Sebastian. First off I am 44 years old. I am pretty sick of all the blue and fresh or even worse the bubblegummy stuff that come out. We all need mass apealing fragrances and I do love a fragrance like L'eau D'Issey but those older fresh fragrances were made with so much more love it seems. I own a few of the ones on your list like Guerlain Vetiver and Egoiste and they are among my favourite fragrances of all. I plan to get Dior Eau Sauvage soon btw.

The late 80s-early 90s had some outstanding fragrances!!!

[@sergiodavalos591]

Great review Sebastian. Missing from my favorites are Polo, Jazz and Drakkar. I love Heritage, Kouros, Antaeus, Fahrenheit and Eau sauvage. Keep the great work.

I'm 40, and just starting in fragrances. I just recently(yesterday) ordered Ungaro III and Aramis 900, after watching one of your other videos. Not too sure what I'm going for in a collection yet. But, maybe classic, classy, florals...

I remember my uncle wearing Azzaro and Lapidus back in the day, he kindly left me the the remaining portion when he visited once. I was the best smelling dude in high school for a while. Hugo Boss #1 and Armani Pour Homme were "borrowed" from my older brother during late teens. Lastly, Allure from chanel is a fantastic scent, a blast from the early noughties. Great review as always, must checkout Heritage sometime. p.s. I managed to secure some gems from dior thanks to your guidance (Eau Sauvage EDP and DHP).

Love Heritage EDT Silver Cap older bottle. Haven’t tried the new bottle version - hope it hasn’t changed much.

The yatagan is the most masculine perfume that I have ever used 👍

[@jclark9176]

So enjoy all of your reviews... I have made some purchases based on your reviews. Your world travels give you a unique perspective. I appreciate.

[@MarcusJGadson_CFA]

Thanks for this great video and list. I’m age 32, and realize that I need a section in my collection specifically dedicated to classic scents. Surprised you didn’t mention one of the Hermes classics (Bel Ami, Equipage, Rocabar), but other than that, this is a stunning list and collection you have 👍🏾

[@JoeBur]

Wow! I just love your 20 fragrances lists. I own 4 frags in this list. Great descriptions, as always. You're a wealth of frag information. Thank you Sebastien. I (We) would like to see your fragrance collection.........PLEASE????????? 🙂
