The original gangster Drakkar Noir.
From the house of Al Rehab, buying it whenever I see one online. Rumored to have been discontinued, if you know where to look you can still find these, at around the price they where supposed to be once upon a time which is about $5,00 for the 50ml.

Here and there in the past I've been price gauged rather badly in the endeavour to salvage wherever is left of them for sale. Weird thing is I just found one for €4,99 and a tester on the same site for €1,99. I paid 18,00 in the past, in my area they're somehow returning it seems. Not many but I'm puzzled to see them coming back and how cheap some of them are.

Anyhow, this has to be one of the best fragrances ever for me bc simply this; where do you get a perfume concentration with this quality for five bucks? Creds to Al Rehab, It's loud yet mellow bc these have been sitting on the shelf in stores probably for years and years. Bought mine years ago as well. The scent is a sentimental journey back in time whenever I spray this.

This house has expertly blended the notes to fit in place perfectly, main ones I'm picking up, amber, Oudh, vanilla, and caramel, some of them not being listed. All the harshness gone, it's been macerating in my collection for ever and a day. Barbershop energy has to be your thing, it's the same vintage green, fresh, earthy, mossiness from start to finish, absolutely back to basics linear fresh out of the shower confidence in a bottle. Radiates this aura of a guy who is was simply "supposed" to smell exactly like this back in the day. You know like, why wear anything else? this is where it's at, why try harder?

A surprisingly striking and characterful men's fragrance that effortlessly manages to combine a sense of old world toughness with classy refinement. Dakar is ideal I think for men who appreciate making a dominant impression, it's as classic as scents get yet still easily wearable in modern times. I rotate and I'm saving the sprays with this one but you can imagine people wearing this as a signature bc comes across as versatile, familiar, natural and reassuringly traditional. For me it's for Sunday mornings or festive occasions. A timeless choice you could say for a confident man who likes to make his presence felt.

I read all the hype…
… and I grew up in the Drakkar Noir era (when every male everywhere owned a bottle by the time they hit 21), so I decided to grab a couple bottles on eBay (i mean c’mon, they’re only like $7) to test the hype.

They arrived in the mail, I hit the shower, and squirt, squirt here we go…

OH HECK YEAH!!! Time traveling back to the my late 80s/early 90s teenage years… nostalgia with an ACCURATE kick (the new Drakkar is more soapy than it used to be, with less punch, and shorter lifespan).

This stuff has a wicked projection punch that blasts out an easy 6+ feet and fills the room… sillage? Yep. Everyone will know it was YOU who was there before them… WoW… for nostalgic purposes, this one wins…

I’ll play with it as one to wear after dinner once in a while, not one I’m going to rock on a date or a night out, but as far as finding the old school Drakkar nostalgia… I’ve found it… and I’m STOKED!

Seriously..
Since this fragrance is affordable, I had to try it at the high rating.
The first impression was... What is this? Smells like "toilet spray" in a Far Eastern restaurant I'm sorry, but that's it for me with this scent...
Durability is the hammer. Tried to wash it off my hand, almost couldn't do it. Now it's in a better place..

Black dragon boat on a caper
A linear masculine scent. It is fresh and spicy and stays that way for hours. Whoever wears it must love it, because it does not change and does not solicit approval with shimmering nuances. It is definitely very close to the classic Drakkar Noir, although the pyramid of scents does not give it away. Amber and sandalwood are probably the common ground. The spiciness obviously comes from different herbs. I wonder how this can work at all without bergamot and lavender. Probably the information above is not quite complete. The composition looks like the original, the black Viking dragon boat, as fresh after the shower and that all day long. Drakkar Noir was one of the most successful and best-selling fragrances in the 1980s, and rightly so. More, especially younger men should dare to wear such statements again!

Nicer than Drakaar Noir. Longevity and silage are both excellent. I got this as a blind buy and would get this again - fabulous juice.

Always loved Drakkar Noir. However, newer formulations lack depth and strenght. This one does the job for me and is even more mature.

I hoped that it'd be Drakkar but a bit longer since it's EDP... lacks the biting cold unfortunately. And this warm undertone. Not sure.

Mellows after maceration. Then, Dakar is like a sibling of Drakkar Noir, with a duller top, mossier base, and higher and linear performance.
