Material
Glass bottle with matte rubberized/plastic coating, plastic cap, and aluminum atomizer spray.
Condition
Fair to Good. The bottle shows significant surface wear, scuffing, and minor peeling of the white lettering on the brand name. The rubberized finish appears 'sticky' or dusty, which is common with aged soft-touch plastics.
Demand Level
Moderate. It remains a staple fragrance, but second-hand partial bottles have lower demand than sealed or vintage 'Cosmair' era bottles.

Description
A classic masculine scent, Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir is an aromatic fougere fragrance. This is the Eau De Toilette natural spray version in the iconic matte black bottle. Features notes of lavender, lemon, oakmoss, and leather.
Key Features
Cult classic status, high brand recognition, iconic 80s/90s nostalgia factor, reliable performance for a budget fragrance.
Authenticity Indicators
Alignment and font of the logo are consistent with genuine Guy Laroche production. The matte finish and cap fit are standard. High confidence in authenticity; Drakkar Noir is rarely faked in this specific lower-value condition.
Flaws to Note
Obvious cosmetic wear to the bottle exterior and logo. The liquid level is unknown (not visible through the opaque bottle), which significantly impacts resale value.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Mercari. These platforms have a robust market for 'open' or 'used' fragrances. Facebook Marketplace for a quick local cash flip.
Selling Tips
Weight the bottle on a digital scale and include that weight in the listing so buyers can estimate how much juice remains. Use 'Vintage Style' or 'Classic Scent' as keywords. Wipe the bottle down with a damp cloth to remove surface dust before photographing.
