    Real talk

    This fragrance has opinions. The 1982 lavender-mint opening either speaks to you or it doesn't, and for those it speaks to, nothing else fills the same space.Drakkar Noir
    1998 was the era of green, herbal, no-nonsense masculine scent. STR8 Original still holds up, it's the fragrance you reach for when you want to smell like yourself. Confident. Uncomplicated.Original
