Ah, youth.
As college kids in the 80s, my best bud wore Paco Rabanne. A fat, sweaty guy, he was blasting that stuff on all the time. He'd offer the bottle, especially on hot days, which I vigorously rejected. Stuff gave me a headache, and I'd give him a hard time. He'd happily spray away.
Fast forward to today. Trying to educate my nose, bought a small bottle of today's Paco Rabanne. I like fougeres - these days - and it smells like Brut, to me, to a degree. It's good. And like most, the PR of today lacks the oakmoss punch the 80s powerhouses had.
Took a while but scored a vintage bottle today. Man! The new and the old are related, but wow! It's like saying Bacardi 151 and Arbor Mist are both alcohol.
One drop of vintage PR dazzles, has hang time, changes through stages ... It is awesome.
Ah. Shoulda known.
