Denim (1976)
by Denim

Strong leathery cypre with a spicy, citrusy opening, an astringent floral heart and a musky-rooty base with the addition of cedarwood in order to impress structure and stableness. It is a less complex and refined version of Azzaro pour homme, in the sense there are some similarities between the two fragrances. Refreshing at morning, very masculine but a bit old fashioned and stuck. Few hours later the first dab the scent starts becoming a bit powdery. Weak longevity.

MacTukaKa - if you´re searching for a scent similar to Denim try Bijan for Men (1981) - to me it seems to be a complete ripoff of Denim with a little sandalwood and spices added

It is said of Captain Bunty Fortescue-Smythe, the intrepid English explorer, who liked to travel light, that he would frequently tell his companions: "A chap should be ready to travel anywhere in the Empire at a moment's notice, carrying only a small suitcase containing a revolver, a set of clean underwear, and a bottle of Denim aftershave!"
Whilst he was regaling his cronies in his London club one day with this customary bit of advice, someone saw fit to remark: "It seems to me, Bunners, old fellow, that a chap would be better equipped with a fragrance from one of the traditional British gentleman's houses, such as Trumper, Truefitt & Hill or Taylor of Old Bond Street. Surely Denim is a fragrance for oiks, cads and Yanks?"
"A common misunderstanding," replied Bunty in clipped tones. "In spite of its fleeting and inexpensive nature, Denim is a miracle of subtle blending, and seems to function as some sort of ambassador of universal goodwill. Any chap who wears it, in any part of the globe, may be assured of a warm welcome as a clean, fresh, decent, honest and manly fellow. It has won me friends from the Arctic to the heart of Africa. The only drawback is that the womenfolk seem to appreciate it even more than their menfolk and, on more than one occasion, I have been regrettably forced to use my revolver on some jealous johnny foreigner."

Vichy Homme Eau Tonic is quite the same as Denim Original fragrance, only longer lasting and improved formula. Give it a try!

I love this fragrance. Very leathery and soapy and fresh. I had the showergel as a teenager and after it dissapered from UK shelves I moved on dissapointed. However I recently managed to track a bottle of the aftershave and showergel in a gift set on an online phramacy. It is still made in Italy by conter and also exists in many other forms. It is very cheap still and you get a lot for your money, but sadley isn't long lasting. If you want something which smells similar and more suffisticated try Aramis or Azzaro, which are more expensive but longer lasting.

I'm searching for original EDT that has the same notes like Denim, cause this is my fauvorite scent. I have AZZARO POUR HOMME, it has some similar notes, but I WANT TO FIND SOMETHING MORE SIMILAR TO DENIM, THAT WILL LAST LONGER, cause the aftershave and the deo-perdume fades away quickly.
