It sounds odd, but I was obsessed with my 7th-grade Spanish teacher's cologne. Turns out it was Joop and I thought my father was gonna kill me if I sprayed it one more time in the house. 😂

Now I know men's cologne isn't what it used to be in terms of popularity, maybe it was the Train lyric "cuz it's poison", but man, cologne was a must if you were going out! Let's take a trip down memory lane. Some of these are still kinda popular...

Massachusetts Men Of The '80s And '90s...Which Of These 10 Colognes Was Your Go-To, Bro?

 

1. ACQUA DI GIO

This stuff is and was amazing. Just like a breath of fresh air, like the "Clean Cotton" Yankee Candle. It was definitely floral but still masculine.

4. DRAKKAR NOIR

This will forever remind me of my father. The late '80s, acid-washed jeans, and a great cologne.

5. OBSESSION

I remember some kids wearing this to the 8th-grade dance. Calvin Klein rarely misses with their product and this soft-smelling cologne was a super hit.

Didn't this smell like mouthwash? I just remember Danny DeVito making fun of this in the 1988 movie "Twins"...
