Drakkar Noir

[shakin_jake]

It's my birthday today, fragrance.net was offering free shipping...I just had to buy a frag, and I thought I recall Shamu1 over on basenotes giving it a good review, so I pulled the trigger, 100ml's unboxed, $30 and change, did I mention free shipping?

Been wearing Elite (Floris) this evening...gotta love the stale ciggarette and ashtray thing going on=


Best,

Happy Birthday! SWMBO only likes Obsession on me and when I mentioned trying something else DN was one she suggested.

I love DN. It's a classic, and not many people wear it anymore. Good pick up Jake!

Happy birthday.

I too am a long time Guy Laroche fan

If you find you like it and want a complimentary after shave, Pinaud Draggon Noir is a nice match (scent wise). It is listed as an EDT on the bottle but I use it as an after shave.

Happy Birthday - and good choice!

Happy birthday, Jake! Drakkar Noir is a very nice fragrance.

I can't remember what it smells like. I takes me back to being a sophomore in high school..... DN is what the upper class guys were wearing. I can remember one of them insisting that I use a little of his before a school dance after we had just finished getting cleaned up in the locker room after a football game. I'm sure in his mind, he was "looking out for the younger, inexperienced guy".... which I was. I never wore much, if any, cologne before that. I can't remember what it smells like but I bet if I caught a whiff it would take me right back to that smelly locker room.

I just picked up a 30ml bottle of this from the bargain bin of a local fragrance store for silly money. It's great!

I remember the advert from when I was a kid, although I must admit that I don't remember the scent itself... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwmDyAJhsGQ

DN is a classic, and that's a great price - Happy Birthday Jake

Drakkar Noir is one of my favorite scents ever. To me it just smells so fresh and clean, like you just got out of a really nice shower. I really wish I could afford a bottle. It and Grey Flannel are my favorite scents.

i too used to love that one. (almost as much as my girlfriend) unfortunately i think when you get it, you will find it is more suited for a teenager. ask anyone who ever wore it,, they will say, "in high school".

Drakkar Noir is a powerhouse that gives me fond memories of my dad. Like it.

SWMBO Bought me some as a 'summer holiday scent' smells OK to me. Makes me feel like a teenager again. Howver the wife will have to do on that score

I remember when I was in high school (about ten years ago)there was a bottle lat work. I worked at a chain suit store. We weren't sure whose it was or how it got there, so I called dibs. But I kept forgetting to take it home so some other middle aged guy took it. I didn't really like it that much at the time. I'll have to give it a smell again.

I wore Drakkar Noir alot in my younger years and still have the bottle I bought in 1991,lol.Only a small tiny spritz is enough.I still have my bottle of Eternity and Jovan Sex Appeal.Lately,I've been liking Avon's Mesmerize and Wild Country.

WOW.... Forgot I had a bottle of Grey Flannel (somewhere around here)

Today was a Tabac day (AS and EDC) but tomorrow....... yea baby....

Drakkar Noir was in my daily rotation for ~3 years, after trying Caesars Man, it was dropped since they are virtually identical but the Caesars Man is only ~$15-20 for a 4 oz bottle.
