I first met Drakkar Noir cologne about twenty-five years ago when a Venezuelan saleswoman all but assaulted me with her sprayer as I entered a Caracas department store (this was when Venezuelan shelves still had products on them). As I recall, I extricated myself from the situation by agreeing to buy a bottle of the dark elixir.
Drakkar Noir has been a standby scent for me ever since.My work takes me across cultures on itineraries that make Planes, Trains, and Automobiles seem like a quiet evening at home. I need a scent that is not overpowering and certainly not flowery or potentially effeminate. Drakkar Noir fits the bill. It’s a quiet scent, and quite versatile.Then comes the matter of size. I had to hunt around a bit before finding this sturdy (think airport baggage handlers) little 1-ounce dispenser.

I keep a bottle of this permanently in my travel shaving kit. It never fails me.
