80/90S Aftershave - Help Me Find It

[rossyl]

Hi Guys,

Its my Dad's birthday coming up. Rather than buy him another shirt or jumper, I thought something humorous, nostalgic and that he'd enjoy!

He was an avid wearer of fashionable (cheap?) 80s/90s scents:
Jovan Musk
Aramis
Quorum
The one I recall most I CANNOT for the life of me remember the name of...

It is was:
- mens aftershave
- 80/90s
- Grey plastic bottle
- a rectangular shape, with sharp angles, almost a diamond shape
- the lid was not removable
- I've been google searching but not found it yet.

- Box, i think, was like a grey marble effect, with grey writing

It looked a bit like the Kourous bottle,
- but was a darker grey
- more diamond shaped
- and was a rippled finish on the bottle.

It was probably a horrid scent, but, he liked it!

Anyone able to remember it?

Thanks

It is not:
- Drakkar
- Brut
- Old Spice

Unfortunately i do not believe it is any of those mentioned. many are a bit too new.

 

[Toothpick]

Dang. I’m sure someone will chime in with more suggestions.

I find lots of possibles with a few of the criteria but no possibles using all of the criteria.

Realm or Inner Realm.....vintage Ralph Lauren - Silver.....vintage Dior - Eau Sauvage had a rippled effect .....maybe it was something simple like Gillette - Cool Wave which has a cool smoky gray bottle.

I never would have gotten that.

 

[JayFromBrooklyn]

I would've never come up with that answer either, but now after seeing the photo....your memory and descriptions were perfect right down to the marbled box

 

[Toothpick]

I’ve never heard of that. Doesn’t look like it smells very good.

Iron?

Glad you found it. Your description had me coming here to suggest this. Definitely a man's man scent.
