A fragrance with memory

Hello everyone,
first of all ---> I am a male fellow citizen (for which I can do nothing :-) who loves fragrances.
As a teenager, my godfather hooked me with various aftershaves, EdT etc (there was always a fragrance for my birthday/Christmas). The love of fragrances has remained to this day (as a certified aromatherapist even professionally).

I remember Poison very, very well as I participated in our student exchange program with France in 1985/1986.
(There is probably debate to this day whether the name Poison is pronounced in French, or Poison in English. Both at least mean "poison.")
Partner community was a medium-sized town in Champagne near Reims, in the famous Champagne growing region.
The fellow / exchange students in France were enraptured by the fragrance, which was omnipresent at the time (as almost everyone, including me) and thus it was of course often, but only on special occasions put on (today as then a higher-priced fragrance).
In the disco and in the cinema, almost all the girls smelled like Poison and there was a cloud of fragrance floating in the room that was incomparable.
Constantly I have hung on the neck of my exchange student at the time and they quasi "abgeduftet" speak frequently at her smelled.

Now, due to current memories, I have bought a bottle to refresh my fragrance memory.

A still wonderfully pretty bottle (the glass in a dark violet/purple), with a very good atomizer to round off the fragrance presentation.
The outer packaging in a green / black tone does not quite match, but is also ultimately uninteresting.

The fragrance start is different, there have been reformulations (in the memory is much more Wumms behind it!).
After some time (30-45 minutes) my "memory scent" comes out.
I could sit back and just "sniff" forever..........
Poison starts off quite strong (I even detect a slight smoky note) and then transitions into my memory scent. I can't describe the individual scent components, there remains a lily of the valley note at the beginning, but it doesn't appear in the pyramid (maybe heliotrope too?)..........
Poison no longer seems to remain so intense and long-lasting on the skin.
In my mind and to my current sensibilities, it's still a hell of a scent.
I love him.

In fact, I'm considering putting it on sometime when I casually go to work.

What does the community think about using classic women's fragrances for use on the male gender?
Still waiting in the pipeline are Shalimar Maroussia and Chanel No.5.

Love
