One fragrance that absolutely drives me wild and smells very classic is Vetiver, by Guerlain. My husband has used it practically forever (long before I met him) and will use nothing else!
What I like about it so much is that it doesn't smell like all the 'other' men's fragrances. I think it is described as being a blend of leather, tobacco, bergamot, moss, lemon and vetiver (hence the name). It is very clean and fresh smelling.
It usually retails for about $65 for 4.2 oz., but you can find it on eBay for half the price. On occasion you can find smaller 'travel' sizes for near nothing. That may be the best route to go if you're willing to try it out.
Oh, and stay away from the Annick Goutal version, it's completely different.
I think this fragrance was first manufactured in the mid-to-late 1950s, so it definitely is "classic"!
I also think Bay Rum is a nice, classic scent!
This stuff, too:
