Your a cool barber

this is nostalgia to me as a Latino. My dad is Salvadoran, and wore this all the time when I was growing up. Later on is when I found out how popular this scent was in the Miami scene of the 80s. I married my Dominican wife, and heard "Los Diseñadores" and it referenced this cologne. I didn't know how popular it was amongst Latinos. It's so nostalgic to me, and I'll always have a bottle on deck because it's a compliment maker till this day.

My dad is Mexican. He always wore this and I grew to love it. I remember when I was little and he would cover me up with his coat when I fell asleep and I loved the lingering scent of Paco Rabanne Pour Homme. I have a bottle of my own for the exact same reason as you; Nostalgia.

Fantastic review and a wonderful tribute to the late great Paco Rabanne RIP

Still have half of my vintage bottle - love the scent. I also used to wear Givenchy Pi, Boss #1, and SIR Canada Cedar.

Thank you very much for this uplifting review. I had the same feeling when I sprayed this masterpiece recently. All those memories came back. I purchased also the aftershave and that one is a tad fresher. Very nice in summer. With the edt I smell this wonderful freshness over 8 hours. Greetings from Holland!🌷

I've been keeping this around every since I decided to order a 3.4 back in 2018. It's green, fresh sharp, and crisp. Smells a lot like Irish Spring body wash, which is imo good to use before you put this on. A classic aromatic fougere masterpiece. Will ALWAYS reorder when running low.👍

Great review and a refreshing change from all the modern sweet stuff 👍🏻

I ordered it yesterday, today you are reviewing it. What a great coincidence!

In my younger days I wore Paco and Polo Green and the ladies loved it! I have many expensive designer scents in my collection now but I still keep a bottle of PR just for casual days.

As a collector I personally don't feel it's complete w/out classics such as these..ty for another wonderful and informative review!!👌👌

The rosewood note in this fragrance supports the oakmoss so well! Love Paco Rabanne Pour Homme. 👍😉

I just love this video , I have this fragance in my collection, one of my favorites, saludos from san Jose ca

Mu favourite scent of all time. Its just so old-fashioned and classic. Its a bit strong especially compared to the more subtle scents of today, but its so good.

A different review I feel. I enjoyed it as much from an entertainment factor as I did find it to be the usual format of informative. I also felt it was presented with an extra bit of care and romanticism and I think respect. Top stuff, great content.

Paco Rabanne ...RIP, Thank you so much for sharing this review. This was a great review and I see in high school you had great taste then from the list of the fragrances that you wore😃

Your high-school scents are dope...I wore YSL L'homme and CK eternity. I just got a bottle of pr pour homme not a week ago, and I absolutely love it. PR pour homme is so fresh and green/soapy; I can't stop wearing it.

Great review and I enjoyed it and I like this fragrance and I give it a 9 out of 10 and R.I.P TO Mr Paco Rabanne and have a blessed night

Paco Rabanne PH was my only fragrance from the 80's up until the pandemic. Had never heard the term signature scent but it certainly was mine. It was the Swiss army knife of versatility for me. In 2020 I jumped down the rabbit hole of fragrances sitting at home during Covid. I should have just stuck with PRPH. I would have more money in the bank and more room on my dresser. Plus I think PRPH is about as discontinue-proof as it gets.

Got my bottle a few days ago, found your channel from joy amin's mentions

When these things used to be sold in good shops in very cheap prices in year 2000 , we ignored these things but now we run behind these perfumes

I used that back in the 80s its was my signature fragrance in the early 80s

Love this review of a classic! Still smells damn good! I wish Paco Rabanne would get back into fougeres rather than sticking to their typical modern sweet fragrances nowadays.

FragranceX and PerfumeOnline currently have the newer stuff. Can't vouch for how the newer formulations smell, but I can vouch for both sites. They only deal in authentic products, but FragX has catfished me before, displaying a picture of the vintage stuff and sending me the current formulation. I would say be cautious of their vintage pictures. Good Luck.

Get it. You won't regret it. I've had both and imo Paco's better.

This is a green soapy masterpiece. Kind of reminds me of a zestier Irish Spring soap bar. Better, more wearable than the og Polo (green). Doesnt smell dated or 'old man' just smells soapy clean, woody green and masculine.

It's my favourite fragrance of all time...

I still use it, and the amount of compliments i gets is surreal, when i tell them it's Paco Rabanne pour homme the old one they look at me like "really"

One of my all time favorites and have been wearing it since the early 1980s. Could you explain about the new larger logo on the new bottles? Some places have the older smaller design and this that you have. Has there been a recent reformulation or just a restyled logo?

The Vintage bottles have the smaller letters PR.--Much smaller than the bigger PR on the bottle in this video. I took a chance just a few months ago, and bought a Vintage bottle that was still factory sealed. Unfortunately, I lost my "gamble" and it was spoiled and unwearable. I had a bottle in the 80s, but I didn't think the latest version would be near as good as my old version. Maybe I'll blind buy today's version someday. 😊

Been staring at this one for months. Think l will grab a bottle now! I have a current love affair with green fragrances

IFRA restrictions on oakmoss really wiped out its once legendary performance, but the current formulation at least does smell quite like the scent I remember. It strikes me as soapier these days, but so does Drakkar Noir - and I think that's largely because they've been around so long that new and unique notes to my youthful nose aren't so new any more.

Stupid question, but does it smells like Kouros? Cuz I tried a sampel of Kouros, and I didnt liked it :/ Its reminds me the urinal cake's smell, but I really like oakmoss! :D

My late father's fragrance this one is personal.

It is such a clean masculine smell. It doesn't smell like you are a douchey guy either. It was my Dads cologne. Very big in Latin culture!!! 🇨🇺

Late teens In the early 90’s I was given a tiny sampler bottle of this, like a vial without the spray nozzle. I would just dab a tiny amount on both sides of my neck. The Spanish girls loved it. They would go “ohhhhhh! and want to cuddle. Lol! The ironic part is now this fragrance seems to be regarded as an old man smell.
