Looking for a newer old school scent, not an 80s creation (Rochas Man etc) but a more recent creation that nevertheless has that grandfatherly quality. Sober, kinda old fogey, not particularly sexy, candied or round, settled, not too dramatic or overblown [Blenheim Bouquet] , possibly a bit of wood, leather or tobacco, preferably from the last 2 decades, the more recent the better. Stuff that bucks the trend of round, blue, aquatic or gourmand fragrances, as well as the other extreme of ascetic, medicinal ones. Old Spice of course would be a model, perhaps Crown Park Royal or the Rochas above. A Sean Connery kind of scent.
