Trojnoy Novaya Zarya for men

By the way- that was a great stuff !!!! I remember yellow-ish liquid and a black label. and a black bottle top. Don't want to repeat- yes, it was my gran's miracle rub..... And it did its job and 'trick'.....when child, i used it as a moskito repellent, too....

For me it was always CARNATION. Strong, pronounced and very long-lasting...

Yes, that's the smell u never forget, once u smelled it one time. And i must look to it to get a bottle or 2 - like 'blast from the past"...... We had great stuff those days.... I really miss those childhood times with Trojnij, Sheherezada, Natasha, Krasnaja Moskva.....Even though i am in Europe and can 'get it all'...

who said it's exclusively for men? i got my 85ml bottle for under 1USD and have been using it every day since..it does smell citrussy in the begginning but then settles into a great creamy and fresh smell..like a classy soap..to me it's as good as (dare I say) aqua di parma. i'm sure if both were given to a non-connoseur he'd note make out any difference. a big fan. perfect for a hot summer day.

Damn, now that's an eye opening experience! I cant believe my eyes! We used to use it as rubbing alcohol/antiseptic back in the days! And i think this is what it was essentially sold for in the Soviet days. Now it got upgraded to the fragrance status?! Niche?!? Amazing! WOW
I'd better show this link to my Russian friends...or they will think i am crazy!

Oh, and some people used to drink is too...i guess the ones who were desperate for alcohol and had no money for vodka ( this stuff was dirt cheap)....or sort of internal antiseptic...who knows.Lol

This is the Russian "Jicky" to me.
Amazing. I totally agree with Malegria (see her gorgeous review). In a blind test with my friends (none of them in any way familiar with Russian perfumes) three out of four girls thought this was an expensive niche-scent. Go figure!

From an blindly American standpoint, this is a very rich, old-style scent that reminds me strongly of an old fashioned barber shop. Oily, rich neroli and strong herbal notes make it seem almost greasy in the bottle, but once on the skin it mellows into a light, fragrant herbal scent. I thought it faded rather quickly, but hours later, it popped up again, herbal, fragrant and crisp. Very nice, actually. It IS a bit old fashioned, though, so it will take a certain personality to pull this off. Good luck!

i forgot to add: Trojnoi smells quite amazing and unique:-)Soviet quality. I actually going to get a couple of bottles for myself and my husband.

to svetik: what for to say that in SSSR we had only two perfumes for men? It is a lie and makes our country look miserable, i remember quite a lot of variety of different perfumes, and some of them was quite outstanding and quality, all of them was made in SSSR. Americans still thinking that there is no supermarkets in Russia and we have to go to forest to kill the bear in order to get a dinner. And as as malegia noticed, troinoi was mostly used as a rub etc. My grandma used it as a rub daily, but advanced men practically never used as a cologne/parfume. I live in europe now and it is still very difficult to find decent smell amongs all this variety, so please keep respect to USSR and do not pour the dirt with every chance.:-)

This is perfume from Soviet Union. I remember, every , like EVERY, men had this perfume at home.
This one, and another one was SHIPR, the only perfumes from SSSR for men. :)

Though I am absolutely sure that the majority of my fellow citizens will think I am raving mad, I must say that Trojnoi is one of the most original men colognes - and also one with the most outstanding standing power.Once you smelled it you will not be able to forget this herbal goodness - the fantastic, almost a fairy tale mixture of medicinal herbs and the amazing nutty base.Years of abuse of Trojnoi in my country (using as a chest rub, drinking it during the abstinence times, etc) made it`s name as well known as notorious. Well - it is time to forget it`s infamous history and look at this marvel of a cologne from a different, unbiased angle.Use sparingly and you will achieve an olfactory nirvana.
