Lauder for Men, from Estée Lauder was released in 1985. The perfumer behind this creation is Nicholas Calderone. It has the top notes of Anise, Cardamom, Clary Sage, Coriander, Galbanum, Green Notes, Juniper Berries, Lemon, and Mandarin Orange, middle notes of Carnation, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley, Rose, and Vetiver, and base notes of Amber, Cedarwood, Musk, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Sandalwood, and Vanilla.
I kick myself for how many times I must have walked by a Lauder counter in the late 80's and 90's and never stopped to smell this much less spray it on. Last year I bought a bottle of the first reformulation (green cap with gold top vs original all gold cap). The initial hit of green scents, herbs and mossy woods is amazing. Very eighties masculine yet not necessarily shouting to the room like many manly eighties scents due. Don't get me wrong it is decent sillage and great longevity but not quite the same as some of the 80's powerhouses. There is something to this that also helps it slide in to a modern fragrance without loosing its vintage vibes.
To my novice nose it is hard to decern the individual notes but the quality of the fragrance is top notch, better than so much I try these days. Good news is that vintage bottles are still available and rather reasonable compared to other vintage heroes from this time period.
If you like classic masculine scents you need to check this one out.
