What's your favourite birth year scent?

[rum]

By using the Advanced Search feature in the Fragrance Directory of everyone's favourite fragrance forum, you can work out what fragrances came out the year you were born.

Favourites from my birth year would have to be:

Chanel Antaeus
Czech & Speake Neroli

(Honourable mentions: Czech & Speake No. 88 and YSL Kouros)

So, what are you favourite birth year scents?

[frostyicy]

Creed Green Irish Tweed

Though I don't own it, because I could get Cool Water for the same effect at a much cheaper price.

[silverbullet]

Vintage Shalimar

[d4N13L]

I dont know much of the fragrances launched in 1987, but Bois du Portugal is my favorite of this year (also one of my favorites of all time).

[hednic]

Nothing of value during my birth year.

[Gamma]

From the fragrances launched in 1985 it seems like GIT, Derby and Sables seem to be the standouts. I have unfortunately not smelled Derby or Sables yet so I'll go with GIT for now.

[tyler-durden]

1985 Ladies and Gentlemen!!

1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Dior Poison

3. On reputation only (due to lack of availability) Guerlain Derby

6 replies and 3 from 1985!! Interesting.

1982

I don't have many to choose from so it's gotta be either Drakkar Noir or Eau Suavage Extreme. Quorum and Artisan's L'Eau du Navigateur are in there too but I'm yet to try them!

[cacio]

Some good stuff in 69 (Azuree, Chamade, O de Lancome, Calandre, Dioressence, Monsieur Rochas). Right now perhaps Calandre, but I alternate between that and Chamade or Azuree.

cacio

[JDBIII]

1957

Le De by Givenchy
Vetiver by Carven

[Dane77]

I don't think there were any important male fragrance releases in 1977 - it was, however, a memorable year for the ladies: YSL Opium and Oscar de la Renta's Oscar are both exactly as old as me.

[ToughCool]

1970- Creed Selection Verte--Never owned but I love the feel. Good stuff.

[tonghpafu]

The mighty Egoiste

[Joe C]

1973 So Creed Acier Aluminium for me (love the dry down: fruity amber)

[StewartGallacher]

The year - 1974; the fragrance - Givenchy Gentleman.

[pluran]

Eau Sauvage

[Dailey]

Blue Stratos

[Slayerized]

Irisch Moos (edt and aftershave)

I own both as well

[iggy]

Diorissimo

[The_Drake]

Dammit! Wrong post

[drseid]

YSL pour Homme (1971)

[ajmc]

1972

I don't know any from that year.
Not many to choose from anyway.

The only one I would like to try is Diorella.

[cazaubon]

Dior Eau Sauvage

[Furriner]

1959.... I guess Cabochard, although the discontinued Man Trap by Colgate sounds interesting!

[L'Incandescent]

Diptyque L'Autre (1973)

[sables]

Habit Rouge

[amw9490]

None.

[MrFragranceReview]

1986 - Bel Ami by Hermes

[Profumo Saggio]

Eau Sauvage. 1966 seems to be a bit of a lean year for fragrances for men. This one, though, is damn good.

[rum]

Some nice answers from everyone. Keep 'em coming please!!

[nfn1983]

Nothing very special in my birth year (1983)...

[Diamondflame]

Chanel No.19

[sillage monster]

1990's releases are pretty unremarkable save one: Chanel Egoiste.

But I can't say I've had much experience with that fragrance (despite all of its praise on this site) so I can't just vote for it.

[Norstrøm]

MPG Ambre Précieux and Dior Fahrenheit of the ones I have tried

[The Aromaholic]

1978 was a bit of a special year for male fragrance, check these out...

Ted Lapidus pour Homme
Azzaro pour Homme
Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme
Ralph Lauren Polo
Aramis Devin
Dunhill Blend 30
Loewe para Hombre

Wow!

[Ken_Russell]

From what I know and like:

Yardley Gold
Yves Rocher Magnolia
Trussardi Uomo
YSL pour Homme Haute Concentration

[Tucansam]

1964
Aramis , brute hmmm
Guess that's what mom was smelling

[barclaydetolly]

Good God, I'm old. I was born in 1965.

My surprising choice (edging out Habit Rouge): British Sterling. Yeah, I know it's a cheapie, but my dad wore it for a while, and a second hand bottle of British Sterling may have been the first I ever owned (can't remember now if it was British Sterling, English Leather, or Royal Copenhagen).

[Kagey]

Givenchy III!

[Izzie]

Chanel Egoiste, no doubt.

[racuda]

Would you believe there were only 13 fragrances launched in 1954, none of them masculine?

[noirdrakkar]

1991 didn't have anything I like, so I'll go with Kenzo Pour Homme.

[PerfumeCollector]

Sneaky way to obtain the age of fellow basenoters eh?

[tehtimmeh]

Azzaro Pour Homme
Polo Green

[perfaddict]

1962

Royall Bay Rhum - Royall Lyme of Bermuda

[Quiptos]

Hermes Equipage

[insomniac]

1971 was not a great year for men's fragrance (never tried YSL PH.)

[comfortablynumbbg]

Let's see 1990...the only two I know from that year are Eternity and Egoiste. I guess Egoiste, even though I don't really care much for it.

[L'Homme Blanc Individuel]

1991 didn't have anything I like, so I'll go with Kenzo Pour Homme.

I'm amazed you didn't pick Fahrenheit. Your profile says you were born in 1988.

It is funny how certain years don't bring up much, yet other years have so many great ones. Perfumery is art and great art in all forms tends to come in waves.

Sneaky way to obtain the age of fellow basenoters eh?

LOL!!!!

[SirNosebleed]

I do not own it but Clinique Aromatic Elixir(1971) is pretty much the same thing as Aramis 900(which I own and love).

[arlecchino]

1976…



Smelled like…



(disclaimer: I am aware Saturday Night Fever came out in '77 and I don't care)

[NathanDoyle]

My favorite offer of 1993 would have to be Platinum Egoiste.

[Tabularasa]

1971- Rive Gauche

[mesaboogie]

Wow, quite a few other 1985's on here. I'll have to agree with Green Irish Tweed.

[rum]

Sneaky way to obtain the age of fellow basenoters eh?

Haha, I knew someone was going to say that!!

[LloydLlewellyn]

1978 had many ok fragrances coming out, but none I especially enjoy...

[Nasenmann]

Easy one for me: Patou Pour Homme (1980)
Jules and Leonard PH are also nice.

[uhbhatti88]

Fahrenheit, 1988. Dad wore it solely and continually for the next 12 years.

[QWERTYOP]

Nice idea! Sadly, I don't know any of the fragrances in the list that were released in the year of my birth. (1980). I think the closest in my collection would be GIT which I love and also happens to be my SOTD!

[Beftus]

Eau Sauvage

Same here.
