1980s & '90s Colognes for Warm & Hot Weather, Reviewed!
About this video
The Gazette team tests nine classic fragrances from the 1970s-1990s to determine which remain suitable for warm and hot weather wear today. They evaluate modern reformulations of each fragrance, assessing their scent profiles, longevity, versatility, and personal wearability before ranking them from best to worst.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team argues that retro fragrances offer excellent value since they are time-tested without the markups of trendy new releases
- The Gazette team notes that modern iterations of classic fragrances have often been reformulated multiple times from their original 1970s-1990s launches
- The Gazette team ranks Tuscany per Uomo by Aramis as their top pick overall, with Eternity by Calvin Klein and Eau de Cologne by Hermes also highly recommended for warm weather wear
