The newbie known as DEMON posts a NEW 80s powerhouse fragrance list.

The 80s as I recall them involved the following:

Polo Green-totally defines the 80s.
Drakkar Noir-the spirit of the 80s night club scene
Aramis-worn by many Arab American males
Halston Z14-to this day, one of the best 80s nostalgic frangrance values
Calvin Original-Never copied, never equalled. For the young man not on the Polo bandwagon


Feel free to add to this.

Vintage Eau Sauvage (although from the 60's) and vintage Antaeus were popular back than, from what I can still recollect

On a side note, I recently bought a small bottle of Antaeus. It is positively DREADFUL! Last time i smelled something like that, it was in a bottle shaped like a dog and had an Avon label.

How could I forget Obsession? Certainly an 80s standby.

Whaaaat? No mention of:

One Man Show (defence-grade sillage out of the bottle)
Oscar de la Renta pour Lui (barrel-chested bully boy)
MCM Success (even some powerhouse aficionados fear this!)

You are welcome to visit the Powerhouse Users Group for more insight.

I inadvertently forgot Quorum. Nice scent.
Some of the scent that were mentioned as being not listed here, are scents I have never heard of. I guess I also think of powehouse as something which was insanely popular.

I'll add : Paco Rabanne Tenere. Not as powerhouse like as some mentioned. But, it seems to have some kind of "macho-ness" to it. A rough edge, I would say.
