“The smell of a country club in 1982 — moss, leather, and a quiet kind of authority.”
The take
What works
- ●Iconic chypre-green formula — a cultural landmark of American masculinity
- ●Remarkable performance for a sub-$50 fragrance
- ●Genuine character that modern designers don't even attempt
Trade-offs
- ●Reads dated to noses raised on fresh aquatics
- ●Reformulation has softened the original's famous power
