Paco Rabanne Pour Homme by Paco Rabanne
A classic fragrance beast! from the 70s! still a top seller and has stood the test of time as one of Paco Rabanne's finest achievements!. But it must be used with caution, it's fumes are powerful enough to make a lady fall into your arms...or fall onto the floor holding her nose and shouting "OMG WHAT'S THAT SMELL" much like that Sex Panther scene in Anchorman so because of this...certain rules must be followed to pull off this 70s classic!
Now, some basic information, this is one of the scents which will fall into what ignorant noses call the "Outdated" category, this fragrance is far from dated, in fact it is nothing short of gorgeous...seriously anyone who considers this an "Old man scent" should be whipped in public! now...for the rules!
Rule 1: Class it up! - Paco Rabanne Pour Homme is a classy scent, sure you can wear it with a tracksuit or t shirt and jeans but for this fragrance? make just a little bit more effort, sharp collared shirt, nice jeans, and a pair of shoes and you are good to go! suited up for a business meeting? just as good, this scent can definitely be used around the workplace just go easy on the trigger!
Rule 2: Easy on the trigger - Paco Rabanne is far from weak, sure the modern reformulation is no where near as strong as it's original '73 formula, but it still packs a punch! I recommend three sprays of this fragrance one on the chest, lower neck and back of neck or lower neck, back of neck and then spray on one wrist and press it against your other wrist. I would also let this dry down for about 15 minutes before leaving the house as it can be very alcoholic and give off a "barber shop" feel at first. Paco might have lost it's armour and weapons over the years of various reformulations but remember, a warrior without his weapons and armour...is still a warrior! and that's just what Paco is!.
Rule 3: Confidence - Remember this is an older fragrance it will not smell the same as 1 Million, Black XS, Ultraviolet or any other of the more modern Paco fragrances from the 90s onwards, there will be lovers but there will be HATERS too, at some point in the 70s people thought this was heaven in a bottle...the scent hasn't changed much so if it was a nice scent in 1973 it's still a nice scent now...just not appreciated by ignorant noses. if you love this scent? then wear it, you bought it for YOU! so wear it for YOU! it's a confident scent for a confident wearer, ever heard the saying "Too big for your boots" well in this case it would be "Too weak for your fragrance" A man without confidence wearing a confident scent is like a hobo driving a Ferrari...it's just WRONG...so remember that!
One thing about this scent is it is extremely fresh and clean, not as musky or as heavy as some of the scents of the 70s! It is easy to pull off from age 18+ and chances are if someone asked what you were wearing and you said "It's a new Dior fragrance" chances are they would believe you if you apply this correctly, it can be a foul smelling odour or a heavenly scent depending on how you use it...but that's why you're reading this guide right? so you DON'T use it wrong. Good man!
Anyhow I hope you enjoyed this guide and leave the house the next morning smelling like a KING! (I would say smelling like a BOSS but I'll save that line for my Hugo boss No 6 guide! :P)
