Im trying to remember the name of a light blue aftershave you could get around 1994ish, smelt really good and the only thing i can remember was i think it began with an A. Any ideas?
Lynx Animal?

This post is not an endorsement.
The only aftershave I have is from the 90's. One day I will finish the bottle.
Aqua, or maybe cool water, I think that came in a blue bottle.
However, the only appropriate choice is either sex panther or London gentleman.
or the classic Brut/Old Spice cocktail
Blue Stratos, it must be Blue Stratos, it had the aroma of Ford Granadas, Cigars and casual racism

Obsession

From the 60s, but had a brief Renaissance in the 90s.
Always have a bottle on the go myself. Lovely stuff.

Eau de Manooray by Ranceed... say with a French accent people will nod and say it smells nice!
Oh how I remember the smells and times associated..
Aramis
Armani
Polo
Lacoste
Joop
Eternity for men
Boss
Doesn't help the OP though 😆
Only popular blue one I can think of is Davidoff - Cool Water
It was all Jazz or Kouros round our way in the 90's
This is pure stw hive mind stuff here, genius
Kouros was popular round here too, I think it made people feel cosmopolitan. I wasn't a Paco Rabanne wearer, not that it did me any good.
I had a girlfriend who bought me a bottle of "Harley Davidson" I got ripped to shreds by my mates "why does she want you to smell like a sweaty old biker for?"

I think it's called Brut Ocean at least that's what written on my Brut.
Bombay Saphire ?
Don't know why my post above says "wasn't a..." should read "was a..."
WD-40, never bettered.
Kenzo?

When you find it and buy a bottle, prepare to be disappointed. A lot of old perfumes have had to be reformulated thanks to elf'n safety paranoia: the industry is losing interesting raw materials every week. Older perfumes from the 40s and 50s can't even be manufactured any more as they are considered too dangerous. If you're lucky enough to smell one in a lab it will blow your mind because your nose will never have encountered those materials.
don't know how it turned up in my possession, but still have it and joop and a body shop one called arthis or something like that, a channel one in a little black bottle I think and quorum

EDIT^ Channel Antaeus, might be getting that mixed up with the Body shop one.
Kenzo?
Wasn't he a WorldofSport Wrestler?

Don't about you lot but I just bought 3 bottles of Old Spice Swagger ... 😆 [img] 
[/img]
In the UK it is called Whitewater but for other countries it is called Swagger ... 😆
Havana.
A young relative bought me some of this for Christmas:

It's actually ok, but I still cringe when I see the bottle.

A lad at work came in a few weeks ago smelling of davidoff cool water. He was impressed that I could tell what it was. Not impressed when I told him my dad used to wear it when I was a kid, 20+ years ago, hence how I recognised it!
My Mrs has a posh book about the history of pong, recently published too.
They rate Cool Water as their favourite men's fragrance.
Never tried it, is it any good?
I used to fend the ladies off with this.

If it works on your skin, yes. Used to wear it, now only use it as a splash and dash option in airports.
Also, the thought of you wafting around in that 007 stuff is giving me the #strangest.......
Oh Flashy, you're incorrigible.

+1 for most of the contents of my aftershave box is from the '90s
A*men, Angel for men.

You spelled sexy wrong, Rusty.

Cool Water was an absolute revolution in perfumery; the perfumer used raw materials like Calone and Dihydromyrcenol normally used to give freshness at tiny dosages in airfresheners and fabric conditioners but used them at up to 4%, which is what gives the perfume that amazing aquatic freshness. Happily they were never priced as expensive ingredients for eau de toilette so Cool Water is cheap to manufacture and very soon the supermarkets were full of knock-offs in shower gel, shaving products and so on.
Angel (and A-Men) contains 40% patchouli oil so it's expensive to make. It also has a crystalline material called veltol, which gives a sugary candy-floss note but turns bright red in contact with iron.

Nah still not found it, something aqua
Aqua di Gio?
Fascinating stuff globalti. I saw a lass in my teens who would go all sorts of mucky under the influence of cool water. Good times.
How about the lovely Aqua Velva?
How about Antonio Puig Aqua Quorum?

This thread needs to come to a conclusion, I am deeply concerned he will never find out
At Uni, back in the early 80's I found the oils used to determine the refractive indices of various minerals under a microscope.
Oh My Word! The smells were sublime.
Aaaaah, my first love wore Cool Water. When I was 16 he bought me the women's version and I still wear it to this day.
I was given Cool Water by an Ex - I believe she'd bought it for her previous boyfriend and got dumped before giving it to him so I got the benefit. Not sure I liked it that much though.
One of my friends had the best smelling aftershave ever (as I remember it) Paloma Picasso - Minotaure. I've looked for some for a while but not sure I'm happy to buy a modern formulation as I've heard it's changed - probably because of the reasons Globati's outlined.
Doesn't help OP either.
Horizon by Guy Laroche was a bluebottle number. Doesn't sound so good when described like that but it smelt lovely. Still got a drop left. I don't wear perfumes much these days but I do give it a sniff now and again.

The perfume in WD40 is quite good, it's related to Shalimar by Guerlain; just a lot cheaper.
It was all Jazz or Kouros round our way in the 90's
Were they not mid 80's fragrances? I used to have both of them when I lived at home and I moved out in 1987/88.
lol @ sophie112
I love the way you have put in the fragrance descriptions, it may as well be written in Chinese for most of this lot 😀
(I work in the cosmetics industry 🙂 )
This is what happens when we discuss girlie crap: a weirder kind of spam.
I do prefer globalti's style though. Can't beat a good lump of science and manufacturing to kill the romance 😀
Iv just tried a BVLGRA aqua, its not that
The Rasasi perfumes from Dubai are all "inspired by" more famous couture or designer perfumes but at a cheaper formulation price and in cheap packaging. There isn't anything innovative about them.
