I'm a fifty year old gent who's been wearing Drakkar Noir since the 80's. Those taller, skinnier bottles were the ones they put out for a while in the early 90s. Nobody liked them ... Guy Laroche figured it out and went back to the original oval-ish shape that survives to this day. I have LOTS of fragrances on my shelf (and enjoy them all); but Drakkar Noir is still the Greatest of all time for me. Thanks for this vid. Cheers! 🍻 👍

I'm a huge Drakkar Noir fan and as a teen in the early 80s, I literally showered with DN. Till this day, I occasionally spray DN and it's still fantastic despite the current formulations being watered down and very thin. I am so excited to hear that they will come out with Drakkar Intense but I too have some concerns after looking at the notes and as you mentioned, it's the vanilla note that's somewhat off-putting. However, this will NOT stop me from buying it blindly and paying full retail so let's get DI on the shelves ASAP! Cheers to all Drakkar Noir fanatics!

To be fair, I've never smelled the original formulation but it seems pretty obvious that there is a ton of misinformation surrounding Drakkar Noir. You've got the people who still insist that anything more than 1 spray is room-filling and overbearing (bullshit) and others who say the fragrance is completely gone in under 30 minutes (also bullshit.) And then you have the people who say it smells like Sauvage Elixir. They should really see an ENT doctor if they think that's true, as they smell NOTHING alike. It's as if people hear things about Drakkar Noir and mindlessly repeat it without any firsthand knowledge. Human memory is notoriously inaccurate, and I'd wager that most peoples' recollections of how "beast mode" DN used to be are highly exaggerated. The current formulation smells fantastic and has fairly good performance. It's definitely one of my favorites. As always, great content, Kelan!

Recently got a 100ml full splash bottle of DN from 1985, $50 shipped, seller told me the fragance was still fresh and stuff so I pulled the trigger, I was SOOOOO excited because I use DN in its current formulation as my signature for quite a while now but always found the longevity like a joke, an hour to two hours maximum and had to re-apply multiple times, received it and seems like the top and middle notes got bad, I can only smell the STROOONG oak moss and maybe some woody stuff but nothing like the fresh/dark and mature smell I had in mind the week prior to receive it haha, I guess for $50 I got a nice souvenir and collectible piece haha glad yours came out good, love your content. Greetings from Mexico. Ps. I did a weird combo that ended up smelling like the DN I was imagining in my mind, in an 8ml decant bottle I put about 2 - 3 drops of DAKAR oil from Al Rehab, about 4 ml of current DN and another 4 ml of vintage drakkar, smells exactly how I thought a real FOUGERE on steroid would smell like, green, woody, oak mossy, fresh and dark, Im still on my adventure of finding the definitive Drakkar Noir smell, gonna try the classic match version next!.

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Yeah, I think it'd be a huge mistake for them not to release a modern and improved version of Drakkar Noir. I mean, do they even have marketing people working there? What's their deal of wasting all the opportunities to cash in big time using such an iconic name and DNA in men's fragrance? Maybe the company needs to be acquired by someone else to produce the right flankers. BTW, there's one review of this fragrance by a non-native English person, and he's saying that it's an amped-up, slightly sweeter version of the "EDT". I'm not sure if he means Drakkar or Drakkar Noir because his English isn't exactly so comprehensible. Maybe you can understand him better. lol

My thoughts exactly regarding adding vanilla to a fougere to tame it as an example ( and I don't mean any disrespect to Gravitas to that "modern fougere".. he added vanilla and I have a 10 cc still sitting because I just did not enjoy it) I will keep an open mind for what it is, if it is anything like bentley for men intense then that is fine but BMI is not trying to be a fougere and that is the concern trying to be all things to all people fougere and boozy .. just not sure that will fly.

To me, ambery liquid colours are usually characteristic of some form of maltol or vanillin which actually turns a bit purple with age. My prognosis...sweet. With some slight barbershop touches, and maybe some BR540-esque evernyl. Basically sweet shaving foam. Tinge of greenness maybe. Honestly though, if it smells like nothing else on the market, that'll be an immense win. Otherwise...yeah.

Drakkar original was a light fragrance,very soapy,similar to Denim 1976,the aftershave,and Drakkar Essence is a total garbage fresh scent,Horizon was really good,instead,the last good product by Guy Laroche!

Vanilla in Drakkar? Oh give me a BREAK. I've had it with anything piggybacking off old classics. I've come to the conclusion any new concoctions from ALL designer houses will be unisex juvenile trash with the same maturity as a happy meal toy. If I smell one more caramel freshie dna all these designers are passing around i'm gonna lose it. Polo intense thankfully was one of the few to not add anything sweet- yet all it is, is a boring Fierce type clone.

I agree 100% vanilla can totally ruin and overwhelm a scent and I’m afraid that’s what’s going to happen. Polo cologne intense was so bad and a typical mall “fierce” style scent lol

Yeah, Guy Laroche hasn't released anything good in the last 30 years, so low hopes.
