Pine-scented colognes were all the rage in the 1980s, characterised by their fresh, clean, and invigorating scents. The appeal of these colognes lay in their ability to evoke a sense of the great outdoors. In an era of increasing urbanisation and environmental awareness, people were drawn to fragrances that reminded them of nature and the freshness of the forest.
One of the most iconic pine-scented colognes of the era was Pine-Sol by Brut, a classic pine-scented cologne that epitomised the era's love for fresh, clean fragrances. Another popular option was Habitat by Lagerfeld, which offered a more sophisticated take on the pine scent with notes of lavender and cedarwood. For those on a budget, Canoe by Dana captured the essence of the great outdoors in an affordable cologne.
The impact of these colognes can still be felt today, with many perfumers continuing to draw inspiration from the fresh, green scents of the 1980s.

Pine-Sol by Brut: A classic pine-scented cologne that epitomized the era's love for fresh, clean fragrances
Pine-Sol by Brut is a classic pine-scented cologne that epitomized the era's love for fresh, clean fragrances. This cologne, with its quirky pine cone-shaped bottle, delivers a distinct, crisp, and masculine aroma centered around sharp pine notes.

The heart transitions into a bath of pine trees, pine tar, pine needles, and cedar, delivering a crisp, clean, and masculine aroma.

The fragrance was characterized by its fresh, clean, and invigorating scent, reminiscent of a walk through a forest of towering pine trees.
