Adidas Classic / Classic Blue (1986)
by Adidas

Powdery, musky chypre with a deeply pungent undertone of fruits and flowers. A touch of lavender and detectable notes of patchouli and cedarwood anchor the juice to tradition. Decent.

This was probably the first cologne I ever got for Xmas, late 1980s. Funny thing, I got a sample of Chanel Allure Homme, which at first I thought smelled like Burberry London, and still does a little, but the second time I sprayed it, I thought, god I remember that smell, it smells like Adidas, which I probably haven't smelled in over 10 years. Come here to check the notes, both have bergamot and mandarin topnotes, and vetiver and cedarwood basenotes. too funny, since adidas probably costs like 10 bucks. I think you can smell a little more powder(tonka?) in the chanel though, I really would like to smell this adidas again though...

Last reviewer said it best..."transport me right back to my youth"...sparks nostalgia. I wouldn't keep it as part of my wardrobe, but I might put it on for fun or a trip down memory lane.

This was the first fragrance I ever purchased for myself, at the duty-free shop in Zurich airport.
I second Mr. Russell in his "cheap scent that smelled good" estimation. I may even need to get some again - it'll transport me right back to my youth.

I remember this one as very cheap scent that smelled good..and quite expensive. The typical chypre pattern- beginning with citrus and ending with notes of amber, musk, patchouli and cedar. This one smelled very little synthetic and even developed a partly tobacco-like, partly woody, partly-incense like leathery touch after a while.
