I absolutely love them; I have the entire bottle and it’s my favourite 💖
I read the reviews and, although I wasn’t sure I remembered Varón Dandy correctly (though I did smell it as a child), I bought the litre last week with some hope. Well, what can I say: once you remove the rubber stopper, you immediately smell the tragedy coming. I ignored my brain’s warning signal and applied it generously to my hands and neck; unfortunately, a few drops landed on my shirt and jumper. ‘Pestilential’ is an understatement; ‘nauseating’ is better. It’s unbearable, dizzying, and extremely persistent. I don’t understand how people say it doesn’t smell after 3 or 4 hours; in my case, it took more than 24 hours and three showers to get the stench off, and I nearly threw the clothes away. Tastes are subjective, but this fragrance has caught me off guard like few others. I highly recommend smelling it before buying. It smells like a gentleman’s barbershop from the 80s, but to me, it recalls more of a grandfather in flannel trousers, a red turtleneck jumper, and a black beret, sitting in an old armchair drinking La Navarra brandy while watching the football pools on a transistor radio.
Varón Dandy was, is, and will always be my grandfather. It is the misty melancholy of a whole life spent with him. Since I began to have judgement, that large honey-coloured bottle has always been on his bathroom shelf. Varón Dandy shared space and secrets for years with Othello, my uncle’s fragrance, until he got married and left the house. On the very day they said goodbye, we started to miss them. Varón Dandy and Othello, along with Brummel (my father’s cologne), were the first fragrances I knew when I discovered that there were magical liquids in glass to smell good. Those first aromas are etched forever into the soul. I loved watching my grandfather shave; it was one of my favourite things in the early 80s. I didn’t know why I would stick to the floor beside him every time he performed that ritual of subtlety and silence. Today I know: the balm he applied to his face at the end provoked in me a catharsis difficult to explain, which I only found meaning for later. Varón Dandy holds a privileged place in my collection and in my memory. Despite the few compliments I receive when wearing it, I continue to use it because I like it and it reminds me of my grandfather and what I learned from him. A philosophy of life that shaped me and made me go down the right path despite the bumps.
A true marvel, genuine, timeless and versatile—I’m referring to the Parera version, not what is sold today. Always in my lifetime vanity… and I have over 80 perfumes.
The cologne of our parents, which we smelled in the bathroom and applied secretly. A genuine initiatory ritual. Liqueur, wood, moss…
Super elegant fragrance, nothing to do with the comments that it’s only for older people. A sophisticated woman with great presence looks fantastic in it; it always pays a compliment to this jewel of perfumery, at least that is my case.
Varón Dandy, a litre for 7 euros. The discounted Coty version sold now is totally wearable; I love it. A great icon of Spanish perfumery with an unjustly dark reputation. Just for what the name evokes, but the scent is very attractive. I love wearing it, even though my father and grandfather already wore it. It should be rescued by young people. Now it smells softer, with that spicy alcoholic touch and less heavy woods than before. Obviously it’s a classic fragrance, but it suits any man in almost any situation. It can perfectly be a daily cologne, depending on the amount applied. Currently it’s not too potent, so you can apply it without fear. It leaves a wonderful aroma on the skin. If Varón Dandy were marketed today under another name by a successful brand (preferably not Spanish), it would surely be a top perfume. But there we are, fighting against its bad reputation in perfumeries with its amazing bulk formats at low prices. By the way, the cologne presents a much less intense tonality than decades ago, but when you start using the bottle, little by little, it gains ‘consistency’, both chromatic and in the settling of the scent’s potency. I love all kinds of perfumes, from sweet ones stuffed with candy smells to these vintage masculine ones. You have to try it and enjoy everything. And don’t forget that in Spain great fragrances were created that should/should be cared for so they don’t disappear as many others have, due to cycle changes and fashions. For ten euros or less you can get things as interesting as Varón Dandy or Quorum.
Excellent cologne, a Spanish pride, especially when we love everything foreign and look down on our own. I’m sure that most of those who criticise it haven’t even tried it, and in a blind test they would change their minds. Varón Dandy doesn’t smell like a rough or shouting man, but clean and warm, with that typical oakmoss base of good cypresses. I use it after my night shower, before sleeping, and it’s not annoying at all; besides, my wife almost always tells me how good I smell and asks what I’m wearing.
Undisputed icon of Spanish perfumery, my total admiration for this fragrance. I met it recently, I loved the scent so much that I delved into its origins and now I can’t keep my opinion to myself. The old bottle and the strong name scared me; I didn’t want to try it. I think that initial rejection was mutual; Varón Dandy wouldn’t have liked to attract my attention. He and I are two opposite pieces in this world, but curiosity took me far and I decided to uncap it, immersing myself in its perverse enchantment. Perfumerías Parera was a giant equal to Myrurgia, Gal or Puig. Soaps, creams, lotions, cologne; one of the widest lines of its time, all emanating that perfume that inspired thousands of ads and even a song. Here I quote two texts from the 20s and 30s to explain who Varón Dandy is. The first said: The fashionable perfume for the elegant man. Its scent recalls American tobacco and Russian leather veiled by a fresh, pleasant and masculine aroma typical of colognes. The second went further: Only one perfume exists for your sex. The man who uses this perfume is a true Man, a true dandy. The first text perfectly describes the aroma similar to old colognes like ‘Russian Leather’ with that sweet and earthy touch of tobacco. Two aromas that people were crazy about back then, which Parera used brilliantly. Who isn’t attracted to that velvety leather or the smoky sweetness of tobacco? During the 20s and after, this was indisputable. Aromas like Knize Ten, Habanita, Shalimar and Tabú were very popular. It’s funny that 100 years later the same thing happens; history repeats itself. Parera offered the Spanish man all the masculinity of the ‘macho’ but with that refined touch of the Anglo-French dandy at an accessible price. Here enters my reflection on the second text. A marketing move to ‘masculinise’ the products, making clear who is macho and who is effeminate. And to top it off, they proposed that ‘masculine men’ use facial creams alluding to a fine, anti-ageing face. That is how Varón Dandy said it should be, unquestionable. Beyond that, pointing out the vigour of leather and tobacco in its essence, it carries a precious carnation, obstinately trying to attract attention as if the Man had snatched it jealously from the maja after dancing and used it for himself. A powdered, creamy carnation that doesn’t go unnoticed, even if the spices of tobacco and woods try to hide it. What a great contradiction, what shrewd opportunism, what an interesting dilemma… Penetrating Hispanic society with a message that fitted perfectly with the ideals of ‘macho’ so marked in our people. What men ‘should’ do and what women ‘needed’. Even today, when we put on cologne, we suffer the residue of that thinking. In fact, the message had to ‘make-up’ itself later to survive, but its essence was the same. Varón Dandy was made homophobic no matter how you look at it, but also totally ambivalent and ironic. This made me try to remove the label from the bottle so that what it ‘appears’ to be doesn’t influence me, but rather ‘what it is’. Because ultimately, beyond what they say, what matters is the essence. And there is where ‘He’ and I, two pieces that seem opposite, perhaps aren’t so much. We share the pleasure of observing good taste and the madness for the intoxicating, spicy and powdery aroma of a Crimson Carnation. Varón Dandy adorned the faces of thousands of men for decades and many others who, without following his ideals, still flirted with him. Perhaps that clean and masculine man hides much more than he shows. Perhaps far from ideologies and ‘abstract concepts’ we could kiss in secret without differences. My review is of a cologne from the 60s/70s.
She is the queen of colognes; her masculine and classic presence is unique. I’ve been using it for two years at the age of 30 and I don’t want to change it, although I have tried more expensive and famous brands that promise to be woody but end up being citrusy and sweet, losing masculinity to become unisex. Besides, the litre format for 10€ is unbeatable; every good gentleman who loves vintage deserves to have it in his dressing table. It smells like memories, like an old study or barbershop between wood, leather and whisky with notes of sandalwood and amber. Long live Varón Dandy!
I have a friend with a classic look, a cigar smoker and whisky lover. We were discussing masculinity and how men no longer smell like ‘men’. In the middle of our chat, Varón Dandy had to be mentioned. The problem was neither of us could remember what it actually smelled like. We quickly solved it by buying a bottle together. Upon trying it, my first impression was a time jump: I was a small child in a dimly lit room, while my mother dipped a biscuit into milky coffee with an older, slower gentleman. It was a hazy memory, but I’m sure the atmosphere smelled exactly like that. Since then, I think all biscuits smell a bit like Varón Dandy. It’s not that they smell like perfume, nor that the perfume smells like biscuits, but the scent remained, isolated in memory. Back from my trip, I smiled. It smells mentholated and invigorating at first, then floral spices with vanilla and amber touches, and finally soft woods. It changes the concept of masculinity we were discussing over beers. I agree it is a safety valve against the rough man our grandfathers had to pretend to be. Today it could be unisex, far from the 80s fern stereotype. Fortunately, today we can wear what we want without explanations. It is the scent of the post-war era, of the working class, of the illusion of refinement. Good performance, not intrusive, and smells very well. Approach it without prejudice. My friend and I are new fans.
I have a friend with a classic, conservative look, a cigar smoker and a lover of single malt whisky. A few months ago, we were discussing new masculinity, half in jest, half seriously, adopting some old-fashioned mannerisms. ‘If only men still smelled like men!’ In that conversation, whether talking about Ducados or Pacharán, Varón Dandy had to be mentioned. The problem was neither of us could recall what it actually smelled like. Two proper men, testosterone-fuelled, without having tested the king of clichés? We found a quick solution and agreed to buy a bottle to split. We shared it the next day, each going home to try it. My first impression was like jumping into a broken piece of spacetime, thirty years in the past. I was a very small child, holding my mother’s hand, in a dimly lit room eight hundred kilometres from home, while my mother’s uncle soaked a biscuit in a glass of milk and coffee. He was very old, almost decrepit, lying down and moving so slowly it was shocking. It’s a hazy memory, but I’m sure the atmosphere was charged with that scent. I don’t know if this association is common, but since then, I think all biscuits have smelled a bit like Varón Dandy, even if I didn’t realise it. Watch out, I’m not saying biscuits smell like Varón Dandy, nor that it smells like biscuits! It wasn’t a cologne my elders used, so the scent remained isolated in that remote corner of my memory. Back from the trip, I smiled and was touched. What does Varón Dandy smell like? To me, it’s slightly minty and invigorating at first, followed by a host of spices, very floral, with tonka and amber notes. As it fades after several hours, it ends with soft woods. It’s curious how the concept of masculinity we were discussing changes between beers. I agree with Josesan that this cologne, viewed from the 21st century, can be imagined as a safety valve for the necessarily rough man our grandfathers had to pretend to be. Nowadays, it could be considered unisex, far from the 80s fern concept of masculinity. Luckily, nowadays we can wear almost anything without feeling obliged to explain ourselves. In short, it’s the smell of the post-war era, of the working class, the illusion of refinement for hardened men, and the aspiration for a better life for their children. If all this doesn’t grab your attention, I’ll also highlight in more prosaic terms that it has good performance without being intrusive and, of course, it smells great. Approach it without prejudice and let us know here. My friend and I are two new fans.
Varón Dandy is my father in a bottle. He used to splash it on generously in the 80s and 90s. It was a strong, manly scent. I would love to buy a small bottle; it would be like having my father with me again.
Correct aroma, nothing unpleasant despite the noticeable lack of quality in the ingredients. Perfectly usable. Although I wouldn’t advise it for standing out, I think leaving a good impression depends more on the person and their style. I am surprised by the animosity some people feel, not towards the scent itself, but what it represents. I can imagine an octogenarian with a beret and cane opining that they prefer to smell musty rather than look like an adult teenager playing on their mobile and getting tattoos. Perhaps the old alchemists had more experience at 30 than we do at 50. If it brings bad memories to someone, let them say so and not use it, but those who do use it are neither better nor worse. Congratulations to those who use it and feel good.
I am unable to review this cologne; perhaps I have an uneducated nose and it gives me nausea every time I smell it nearby. Never before has an aroma caused me so much rejection.
Today I discovered a treasure at my mother-in-law’s house: a 15 or 20 ml bottle of Varón Dandy, unopened, which she had kept in a display cabinet for over 40 years. I spread a few drops on the back of my hand and let them dry. My goodness! What memories, what sensations, what warmth, what masculinity, what elegance. Over time I had forgotten its fragrance. My elders used it in the 60s and since then I hadn’t smelled it again. A victim of prejudice, I imagined it to be shabby and macho, but I was greatly surprised. It is different. I don’t have an educated nose to offer notes, but the sensation is being in an office from 50 years ago, neat, with wooden and leather furniture, smelling of paper, ink, coffee, tobacco, and some liquor. The pity is that it doesn’t last long. I don’t know what the current version is like, but I congratulate myself on the rediscovery. Young people should know this wonder. I get the impression that women will not remain indifferent.
It is a pity that in Spain most people have so many prejudices. This cologne is a genuine wonder. Despite the reduction in ingredients and the cutback in essence, it remains a great cologne. The brainwashing exercised by companies with new fragrances has done great damage to the long-standing ones. They offer a fantastic scent in a one-litre bottle for 10€ and the name is shabby, old-fashioned, or homosexual. Put the same fragrance in a 100 ml bottle with a Channel or Armani label and it will be elegant for 65€. One must be a free-thinker and not let oneself be carried away by what others say or by the handsome men in the ads. Everything revolves around tastes; it is normal that not everyone likes it, but it is no reason to discredit it or say it is for old people or homosexuals. I love Varón Dandy, and I am neither old, nor homosexual, nor a fascist. I like it, and that is enough for me.
Another Spanish classic that has left me with a good taste in my mouth, thanks to Josesan. A super-aromatic perfume that offers something difficult to find in modern proposals. I do not know the production date; it seemed modern, very wearable, elegant, suitable for all year except summer. I perceive it clearly while walking, although it has surely been reformulated. It is a pleasant mix of sweet, fresh, powdery and warm. High-level proposals like this deserve to be rescued from oblivion. If I find a bottle with a few years on it, it will be a pleasure to wear it and add it to my collection. A wonderful classic that defies time and will surprise you if you approach it without prejudice.
Lluís Serracant led a double life. In the 20s, a decade of follies in France and dictatorship in Spain, he was a lawyer by day and a cross-dressing singer in a cabaret called Flor de Otoño by night. In his evenings he used floral aldehydic perfumes, but by day he used Parera’s Varón Dandy. Seriousness and formality. Or so others believed. Did only Lluís find that Varón Dandy was more feminine than masculine? What audacious ignorance was that of those Spanish gentlemen who felt so masculine under the effluvium of a perfume that should have been called Lady Dandy? Because that is how Lluís perceived it: the femininity of Varón Dandy. It was like the tale of the naked king: everyone said it was masculine until a child cried out: ‘but it’s a girl’s cologne!’ A girl’s cologne and a very pretty one, modern and current. Sweet, almost honeyed, amber and vanilla, with sandalwood, patchouli, lavender, lily of the valley, mimosa and jasmine. It is a Floral Aromatic, in line with Guerlain. Slightly tipsy, dreamy and romantic. The perfect perfume for a Jane Eyre or the protagonist of Rebecca. The perfect fragrance for a woman who wanted a little bit of her true self to be heard.
In my opinion, reviews should be differentiated between the original version and the reissues. Here is presented an aroma from 1927 that has little to do with subsequent Parera launches. Varón Dandy is not a synthetic perfume as they say; on the contrary: resins, oakmoss, bergamot and flowers make this aroma a fragrance in capital letters. I have a bottle from the 20s-30s and it cannot be more impressive. I understand the disappointment in the usual 1L bottles, but this is something else. I do not know the concentration, but judging by the size, around 30 ml, the dark colour and the age, it is closer to an extract or eau de parfum. At first there is a sharp bergamot that gives way to a cascade of woods, resins and oriental taste, carnation. These notes last a long time; there is leather and oakmoss. Truly fantastic, accustomed to Guerlain, it has not left me indifferent nor am I missing anything. It is masculine, strongly aromatic and current compared to niche. Now I understand its long existence; I believe the current Varóns live off the rents of this elixir. If you have the opportunity to acquire an old version, do not hesitate. It has been a discovery; rummaging through the old collection and trying an emblematic aroma is priceless.
Little is known about the secrets of the success of this flagship of Parera, but its dimension was considerable. Varón Dandy marks a time when creators, with a vocation for service, became anonymous heroes. Joan Parera i Casanovas gave birth to a formula blessed by longevity. Already from its name one could read a statement of intent. A new concept of the cult of man was born, from a workshop in Badalona to its popular explosion with Luis Garcés Mantiña. With a visionary eye, he built an empire until in the 90s it fell into the hands of multinationals. The Parera machine has not stopped, and the one-litre bottle is an exceptional relic. Its commercial authority was absolute. Its florilegium is classic: lavender, geranium, bergamot, petitgrain or rose over woods, amber, musk, tonka and vanilla. Final doses of oakmoss did the rest, granting panoramic fixation. ‘It lasts longer than a day without bread’, they used to say. Despite current restrictions, it was never monstrous. Lacking sophisticated products, Spaniards knew how to console themselves with an opulent fragrance that appeared in pamphlets with unusual phrases. Sighs of Spain, an impassable wall, the scent of a world of obstacles that managed to reconcile everyone. Travels to unburnt eras, of domino and naval battles. Whoever can dispense with prejudices and prefers interiority and the construction of the perfume with rigor and demand will find here a creation of great neatness and footprint in memory. Thank you, Parera. Note: 8
Little is known about the secrets of the success of this flagship of the former Parera house, but it’s no surprise its reach was considerable. Varón Dandy points to a time when creators, with no aspiration other than a vocation for service and the common good, became anonymous heroes. At the dawn of the 20th century, Joan Parera i Casanovas gave birth to one of the formulas blessed with the gift of longevity. Already from its name, one could read a whole declaration of intent. A new concept of the cult to man was born, from a modest workshop in Badalona to its popular explosion through Luis Garcés Mantiña and his famous lotion, serving as the mirror in which the men of interwar Spain saw themselves. With his visionary eye, he would not be slow in building an unassailable empire until in the 90s it fell into the hands of multinationals. Nevertheless, the Parera España machinery has not stopped rolling, and the iconic 1-litre bottle constitutes an exceptional relic of our history. Its authority, in commercial terms, was absolute. However, its bouquet of notes holds no mystery. It is a model of classic compromises: lavender, geranium, bergamot, petitgrain or rose on a foundation of woods, amber, musk, tonka and vanilla. A final dose of oakmoss did the rest, granting a fixation of panoramic proportions on the skin. ‘Lasts longer than a day without bread’, they said. Despite current restrictions, it was never monstrous. That said, lacking more sophisticated products, Spaniards knew how to console themselves with a fragrance so opulent that it appeared in numerous pamphlets under a rosary of promotional phrases as unusual as stimulating. Sighs of Spain, an impassable wall of other times, the scent of a world of obstacles that managed to reconcile all the aggrieved of the conflict. Journeys back to unburnt eras, of domino games and naval battles. Anyone who can dispense with the viacrucis of prejudices that has accompanied Varón Dandy without objection and prefers, like me, the interiority and construction of the perfume with a clear sense of rigor and demand, will find here a creation of great neatness and a grateful mark in the memory. Thank you, Parera. Note: 8
If Spaniards were as foolish as Germans, they wouldn’t use or praise scents like Tabac or 4711 today. These colognes would be shoved in the back of the cupboard, dismissed as something for old men. Fortunately for them, they are shameless and confident. What a pity about us, lads.
A synthetic perfume with a smell I can only describe as ‘rancid’. In short: it’s a slap in the face to my nostrils.
To be honest, I don’t understand those who say it smells ‘old’ or is ‘stuffy’. The truth is, I didn’t know about ‘Varon Dandy’ until I discovered it while browsing perfumes from home. From the start, based on the reviews and its bad reputation, I thought it was the typical generic, boring, repetitive aroma, despised for being a mix of woody and alcoholic notes. But when I smelled it in the small supermarket next to my house, I couldn’t understand why people criticise it so much. The main issue is its poor reputation for belonging to a bygone era, as Bofifa says. The presentation is a bit shabby, but the fragrance in a generous bottle for under £10 is no bad thing: spiced notes that last from the moment you apply it until the end, with a slight touch of moss and vanilla, leaving a very masculine trail. Regarding longevity in relation to price, it’s quite good. What a shame they’ll soon pull it from the market…
I laughed out loud reading this description… almost as much as I did with the Womanity one… The bit about it being obtained ‘by distilling octogenarians with berets and canes in an alembic’ killed me. It’s clear it’s a symbol and its merits deserve respect, but one thing is being likable or endearing, and another is to guarantee in 2017 that it smells good. I don’t buy it xD. I see nothing of man or dandy in it. When I smelled it isolated in its huge bottle, it smelled to me like a grandpa in a wool jacket in the middle of July. With all my respect to its loyal target. I tried it on my skin and it smelled exactly like that xD (plus, you get the urge to stop and look at construction sites). More than guts, what it takes to wear Varon Dandy today, with the great selection available, is to be a bad person and dislike those around you xD, unless your gang mates are 80 years old… It’s an easy target, the ‘class boy everyone dares to mock’, and I admit it’s unfair because there are others just as rancid that few people bother with. But Varon Dandy makes it especially obvious xD
Not the slightest idea, that’s the phrase that comes to mind when reading the comments. Varon Dandy smells very good. It’s not a blast at the start, it doesn’t last days, and it’s not for old men. It’s a simple, cheap, and effective cologne. On my skin, it doesn’t last more than three hours. And in the dry-down, it has minty reminiscences, coming out as an interesting mint. I doubt those who criticise it so much have ever smelled it. More, I tried it at work and with friends in a bar asking for their opinion without telling them what it was. 100% said it smelled very good. When I told them it was SD, they were left speechless. It’s a shame it’s not marketed as ODT or ODP and doesn’t carry the Chanel nickname. Unfortunately, it’s rumoured it will stop being manufactured. And the blame lies with this ignorant Spanish popular culture.
I have no fucking clue; that’s the first thing that comes to mind when reading the reviews. Varón Dandy smells incredibly good. It’s not a bomb at the start, it doesn’t last days, and it’s not for old men. It’s a simple, cheap, and effective cologne. On my skin, it lasts no more than three hours. In the dry-down, it has hints of mela, coming out as an interesting mint. I doubt those who criticise it so harshly have ever actually smelled it. I tested it at work and with friends in a bar without telling them what it was. 100% said it smelled great. When I told them it was Varón Dandy, they were left speechless. It’s a pity it’s not marketed as ODT or ODP and doesn’t carry the Chanel moniker. Unfortunately, there are rumours it will stop being manufactured, and the blame lies with this ignorant Spanish popular culture.
My father’s signature perfume, undoubtedly he doesn’t have good taste, he’s a simple and humble man. Being so, he has achieved fantastic things, well, this is his go-to fragrance, although I’ve given him Chanel, Polo, etc., he’s been using it for over 30 years. I wear it and it repels me, he wears it and it suits him perfectly, a sincere and modest perfume. As they’ve said over there, you need BULLTESTICLES like an ox to wear it!
I can’t help but keep buying it. I love it, it’s a fragrance that reminds me of my childhood and the smell of my father after he taught me to shave. I’ve lost count of how many times they’ve mocked me by calling me ‘yayo’ for wearing it, but definitely it’s a fragrance that can only be worn if you have square testicles.
