I tried the Windex blue version of this based on reviews here. Clearly, this formulation is not the one that everyone raves about. I nearly ruptured my septum, trying desperately to smell anything at all but, to no avail. As near as I can tell, this is just colored water. Stay away from the blue stuff, it’s a waste of money!

More to add later but I just bought the last bottle in the 70’s time warp perfume shop in Torremolinos resort Main Street where I also got my (and their) last bottle of GPH1 2003-2013.
Amazing woody incense aftershave! I will use every last drop. Weird bottle and box straight from Star Trek but utterly unique smell.
I will try to define it subsequently when words have found me!

Bought some 8,5 ml splash bottles of the vintage version. Still smell okay to me but cannot compare to what it should be like. Anyway i find it quite enjoyable but it does not last very long for an edt. I get a pretty strong Anis note some hours in the dry down

THERE IS NOTHING TO COMPARE WITH 70’S CAPTAIN, ONLY THE PRODUCER AND THE NAME…THE SMELL IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. NICE BUT DIFFERENT.

Oh Captain my Captain. This is a beautiful fragrance for men – and for me! It smells unisex to me. I can enjoy this scent as a woman on my self although I do admit that I love to get close to the man that wears this. It’s soft subtle comfortable and cozy a fragrance for snuggling. In the 70s a lot of men wore Old Spice which was also very nice and a snuggling scent but this must have been a nice alternative. The opening starts off with the typical citrus. Then it progresses into a slightly spicy scent of ginger a little bit of coriander and cardamom and some anise. The heart is floral and here is where it becomes perfectly wearable for me as a woman. I think lavender is feminine despite the fact that many men’s colognes contain lavender. It has an aromatic spiciness but always smells feminine to me. A purple flower heart is what this frag has. The other is violet. An orange blossom also appears. The fragrance remains soft and lovely for a long time before it begins to dry down and becomes all woods: sandalwood. There is also guaiacum wood very noticeable and very much a chypre. This is totally a chypre like women’s chypre because of the oak moss. The moss scent dominates the base notes. This is a gorgeous fragrance and I’m glad to hear that it’s still selling! I wear this in autumn and winter. Everyone loves how it smells on me. This is for chypre lovers.

According to Parfums Molyneux, Captain Molyneux has been re-launched as an Eau de Parfum, fairly recently. This is supposedly closer to the original than the blue juice that’s been kicking around for some time now.
Personally I’ve not tried it, but it’s something of trend to re-launch old classics these days. Richard James re-launched his Savile Row, and it is as good as it ever was. But others, such as Patou, have only launched lack-lustre mimicks, so be weary I guess.

the new captain has drown down with his ship, this reformulation is a completly disaster, it´s another perfume, there is no CAPTAIN MOLYNEUX left, even a simple drop of the original, i hope it passed away like they killed the masterpiece of the original, it deserves this

I agree entirely with Castor. This must be some kind of bad joke. Patou Pour Homme ?…Ebene ? !!!
What’s going on ???
The original Captain from Molyneux was a wonderful Verveine/ lemon verbena based fragrance, a little bit similar to Green Water from Jacques Fath.
This new rendition, (note picture of bottle) is drugstore version of the recent hideous Chanel release, Bleue.
REVCOM – :
Very soapy on application; dries down to a very distinct sandalwood, similar to the original Nautica. I set it next to Agua Brava and Sung Pour Homme for those mornings where I combine it with Ivory soap in the shower, Brut classic deodorant and Arko shaving soap to go with a “clean” scent that progresses quite nicely throughout the workday (and is very economical). Mine is in I think the newer bottle (nothing like the one pictured above as of this writing) that won’t win any design awards – in fact, it reminds me of the bottles of Jordache knockoffs you can buy at dollar stores. Don’t be fooled by that. This is a good cologne that can be had at a very reasonable price.

Released in 1975, this classic has suffered some changes ranging from its clothes to its fragrance. And although it does not possess the same opulence from the heydays of perfumery, still remains a beautiful fougère. Contains notes of lavender, musk, lemon and marine notes accord. Some say that even after the reformulations, the notes of patchouli and vanilla were kept.
My bottle was the ugliest version of all (and ended up going to my father’s wardrobe). When applied on the skin, it remembers the scent of aftershave lotions from the past, but this feeling is ephemeral, because Lavender is very strong and gives the idea of refinement. At the same time, there is a glimmer of something salty, as the appearance of seaweed, a slight salty air.
It didn’t present a lot of evolution and the lasting was also not so good on my skin. After 4 hours, I couldn’t feel the fragrance anymore. But is a great option for use after bathing or a day at the beach, a moment of relaxation, etc. I dare say that is a marine version of Pour Un Homme de Caron.

This was my first perfume, early 90’s. Fresh, mossy, chic. Low projection and sillage, but nevertheless very elegant. I’m pretty sure that the today’s reformulation (blue liquid) might be very deceptive. I have not even the courage to test it… I’d better keep its past life beauty in my mind…

I have an older splash bottle of Captain from the late 1980s. Its top notes are a little wobbly yet beyond that its quite in tact. Splash bottles allow too much air exposure and can hurt the composition.
The above tree lacks many notes, obviously this has a good balance of patchouli, oakmoss and vetiver. Lavender, neroli and violet keep it fresh and clean. I would also add some amber and cedar. Its almost works like an Eau that was popular in the 1970s. It was pretty standard for its time-a classic textbook fougere almost note for note. Its strange to think something so old is much better than anything released today, yet this is the classic example from a little known house.
Its very green and far from the silly aquatic trend that was to come and is still in fashion somehow. I do not approve of calone in anything but the sea itself.
This is comfortable and familiar. I would wear it with a heavy cable knit sweater on cold days. It was never really popular in the USA. Today it would seem very retro in the best way on the right man. Its very “Mad Men” old school.
