I still have half filled bottles from the eighties, all bought by me IN the eighties. Obsession, Polo, Eternity, Drakkar, I Could go on. I guess I am just not a cologne type of guy.
Anyone else still enjoy 80's colognes?

Most of mine are from the 60's. Sorry.
I remember a cologne from the 80's called "Colors" by Benneton. I just did a search and apparently they still offer it!

Was never a fan of these overly pungent eau de toilette. I do not want to smell you before I see you. 
Fine colognes dissipate, cheap colognes linger. (Of course some of these were not inexpensive.)

+1 ... I have a manager at work that wears something I can smell from 10 feet away. Even when I walk down a hallway with her nowhere in sight, I can tell that she's been there recently. I'm not sure what brand it is, kind of a BayRum variation, but whatever it is, she wears far too much of it.

Just used my Bijan for the 1st time last night and really like this cologne. In fact I liked it so much that I used it again today. Never knew about this cologne until I read about it on this forum. Looked up the descriprion and put it on my to get list. Glad I bought some. It's a great fall scent for up here in the Puget Sound.
I was crazy for it during my Senior year in high school. Tried a sample a week ago. Either my taste has changed or they reformulated it because it doesn't smell the same and I didn't like it.
I wore Chaps and Grey Flannel in the 80's. They discontinued Chaps but I'm wearing Grey Flannel right now!
My favorite monsters of the 80's
Antaeus Chanel
Korous YSL
Not from the 80's but smell like it came from that time period, Mr. Blass.

I love 80's frags. Some of my favorites are
Bogart ph
Jazz
Georgio for men
Caron's Third Man
Halston I-12
Givenchy Gentleman (I think is 80's)
These are ones I have in my collection and wear in cooler weather.

When I think of 80's scents the first thing that comes to my mind it New West. I never had it but I read GQ magazine on occasion back then and it was drenched in the stuff with those pull-out advertisements. YUK.
The next things that comes to mind are items I didn't own but knew of and which conjure memories of the time: Polo green (even though it's actually from the 70's, I believe), Drakkar Noir, Fahrenheit, Dunhill Edition (I used this), Polo Crest (friend had it). I was in high school at the time and really didn't wear scent except for at a dance on occasion so I don't really have any attachment for any of these other than nostalgia of the times (I own a bottle of Polo green but rarely wear it).
I wish it were the 80's (not scent wise, though), we'd all be doing a h*ll of a lot better.

+1. Love the stuff
Nice thread! Yeah, Obsession and Drakkar were really popular in the late 80's. I also wore Timberline, Grey Flannel and Polo.
Givenchy Xeryus was my favorite for the entirety of its original run. I'm not as big a fan of its more recent reformulation.

Aramis, Quorum, Azzaro Por Homme, Grey Flannel, Halston Z-14 & 1-12 all get regular usage here.
I used Polo in the 80's, can't use the stuff now. The scent is too overpowering.
Big fan of Obsession - especially in the fall. Also love Lagerfeld.
