In the 80's I worked in a department store in California selling fragrances and Oscar de la Renta's Pour Lui was hands down my favorite of all the men's fragrances. When I got married in the 90's I used to buy it for my husband but then it disappeared & I couldn't find it and I eventually forgot about it, until this year when I began watching fragrance videos online. I have a bottle on the way for my husband and I'm excited to have it back in our lives. Thank you for this lovely video and for honoring Mr. Oscar de la Renta.

I just picked up an 8oz vintage bottle from approximately 1982. $60 shipped. I am in love. Much stronger, greener and more spicy than the current formulation.

I enjoyed your review. As a Dominican, the cascade of fine words you say on Oscar in this video makes me feel so proud. I always knew his once-underrated men's fragances were going to be discovered and get recognition by smart noses like yours. Most people think he was only a lady's designer, but he had a vast wardrobe of stylish creations for men too.

What a fantastic fragrance Chris! The USA reformulation has that freshness element added. It’s really good. I found some bottles of the original Stern Inc. Made in France which I find more dense in that 80’s way. But the newer version as a more transparent quality. It’s absolutely perfect I agree. Better stock up before they pull it from the market like Vancleef & A. did now with Tsar and Pour Homme which was a tragedy this year. Prices have now skyrocketed. Love your reviews!

Hey Chris, greetings from the USA, you're easily my favorite fragrance reviewer. By any chance, have you ever smelled the "60's Patchouli" scented incense by satya incense? I'm trying to find a cologne that smells like that scent, but haven't had luck, and was wondering if you could help.

Chris, first Buona Pasquale. So happy you have bought this gem to light. It was my wedding fragrance 31 years ago, very special to me. It’s still wonderful and still gets complements even from my young Russian barista at work !. This is a quality house for sure. Love Osca for men as well. Gentlemen gets bagged , why I don’t know , it’s a very interesting fragrance. God Bless.
