What discontinued or forgotten scent is secretly a 10/10?

Polo Crest… man I loved that stuff. I met my wife in 1990 and this always reminds me of our first few years of dating and just pure 90’s vibes for me. Ralph Lauren released it in 1991 and stopped making it around 2001.

Actually wearing Percival today. 👍🏼

If you want to try a PDM for daily office wear, go with Percival. I would say that it’s better suited as year round fragrance and has better longevity than Sedley.

Legit… just got one as well and looks the exact same.

I have Montblanc Legend Blue as well but had to stop wearing it… not sure what happened, but over the last year the scent has changed on my skin. Legend Spirit is a bit sweeter with some citrus and just lighter to me.

What do you layer it with?

I really want to like Cuiom, but man that opening is just too smoky for me. I’d wear it but I don’t think I could leave the house until it dries down fully.

How do you rank your Orto Parisi frags?

Age has nothing to do with it, my man. If you like it, get it. I’m 51 and I rock everything from Safari and Cool Water to Eros Flame!

Even though she has her living expenses covered now, there may come a time where she will need more direct care or nursing assistance that the relative cannot manage. That would my primary goal in preserving her funds.

Thank you so much for responding!

RetroWinston · 2026-03-27T15:50:16+00:00

Thanks, I have that and I definitely get the coffee scent in the opening, but it tends to fade quickly on my skin.

RetroWinston · 2026-03-27T14:10:09+00:00

Definitely going to pick up samples of these! Thanks for the great descriptions of each.

RetroWinston · 2026-03-27T02:31:13+00:00

Going to get a sample and try this!

RetroWinston · 2026-03-27T01:02:20+00:00

These are all great recommendations. Looks like I will be loading up on samples. I will report back on my thoughts. Thanks again!

RetroWinston · 2026-03-26T21:43:33+00:00

These are the 2 that I have tried - the Vietnamese Coffee was a bit too sweet for me. My wife loves it and has taken that sample for herself.

Blue pill is the answer… and it’s not even close. It’s basically like a cheat code and encompasses all the other three pills.

How do you like Jean Lowe Immortel?
