80/90s Aftershave - Help Me Find It

[rossyl]

Hi Guys,

Its my Dad's birthday coming up. Rather than buy him another shirt or jumper, I thought something humorous, nostalgic and that he'd enjoy!

He was an avid wearer of fashionable (cheap?) 80s/90s scents:

• Jovan Musk
• Aramis
• Quorum

The one I recall most I CANNOT for the life of me remember the name of...

It is was:

• mens aftershave
• 80/90s
• Grey plastic bottle
• a rectangular shape, with sharp angles, almost a diamond shape
• the lid was not removable

I've been google searching but not found it yet.

It was probably a horrid scent, but, he liked it!

Anyone able to remember it?

Thanks

I think the box was like a grey marble effect, with grey writing

Might have been Boss?

I wasn’t a fan of aftershave/cologne from that era or any really until Georgio Armani Code came along, love that stuff.

Not Drakkar Noir (sp?) by any chance?

Failing which, I seem to recall a Givenchy fragrance called something like Xerus?

JP Goatybeard had some men’s gear back then too

Or Quorum?

 

[rossyl]

Unfortunately none of those.

It looked a bit like the Kourous bottle,

• but was a darker grey
• more diamond shaped
• and was a rippled finish on the bottle.

Just had a full eurotrash flashback there!

Or Quorum?

I thought Quorum - see OP, but its not.

I had that Rochas stuff, it was horrible, but not the stuff

Not Brut or Old Spice then for action men ?

High Karate?

Mrs Hawk suggested Eau Savage (but I remember the bottle being glass - although definitely rippled) and one last guess from me (although again I am sure that this didn't have a plastic bottle) - Elizabeth Taylor Passion for Men.

Jazz by any chance?

High Karate?

Hai Karate the scent of 80s school changing rooms.

No luck with any of these unfortunately.
