Topic: Looking for old fashioned fragrances suitable for a young person

I'm looking for a fragrance that has an old fashioned barbershop-ish feel to it, but is suitable for a person in their 20s. I love those types of scents, but hate the 'old' sometimes 'stuffy' smell they have to them.



Any suggestions?

Also, something that isn't too expensive or hard to find

I'm not sure what you mean by barbershop.

But this is kind of old school peppery

Both are soapy, clean scents (barbershop), but with a modern feel to them.

It's utterly magical. It can be had very cheaply online in a massive 4.2 ounces and is probably the very best Aromatic Fougere ever made. It's definitely a sexy, modern take on the classic barbershop-style fragrance.

If Azzaro Pour Homme is too mature for you, you can try 101 Men by Giorgio Valenti.

http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/m.113.jpg Aramis Aramis should also be considered. Be aware though that some of these have been reformulated and may not be a good buy after all. Try to sample these before buying them if all possible.

http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/m.12694.jpg  Azzaro Azzaro Pour Homme L'Eau

One I just tried and could see as a modern alternative to the original Azzaro pour Homme, maybe well suited for the right younger person.

Cool citrus over powdery lavender, geranium and sandalwood with a touch of patchouli and musk, it has the soul of an old-fashioned fragrance but it's not heavy or stuffy at ... seems just about right for the warmer months ahead.
