This one's a cult classic, spoken of in hushed, reverent tones by those who remember it. A genuine, unique scent that people are desperate to see brought back. If you can find a bottle, prepare to pay a king's ransom; otherwise, you're out of luck.

Perfume Parlour's version of the discontinued Ralph Lauren Romance Silver. The dry, manly cypress over violet and guaiac-wood-musk that earned the original a cult following is captured faithfully - reviewers happily mix the two - with Silver Glamour reading a touch flatter than the sophisticated original.
