What aftershave..........

[stephec]

Anyone remember Brut 33 musk in the black bottle with a red top?

And what about Censored, chicks dig it!

Good grief! Haven't seen or heard anybody say that for a good 40 years

I think it was Kouros when I was 16 (either that or Insignia!)

In amongst all of my shaving bumff these days, I've acquired some Blue Stratos (from B&M) and some original formula Old Spice (only made & sold in India now - the stuff you get here isn't the same scent as the stuff your Dad had in the 70s). The smell of both bring back so many childhood memories!

Keep perfume in the fridge to delay the oxidation and ageing.

Never reapply perfume during the evening; you may think it has faded but that's just your nose becoming deadened to the smell. You will ruin the way the perfume develops and overwhelm everybody around you.

Most old perfumes like Brut don't smell the same as they used to because some idiot scientist in Brussels has fed a litre a day of a certain ingredient to a rat and the rat has died of cancer so the ingredient has been banned. We have lost some wonderful raw materials thanks to the H&S muppets.

I've never used any kind of after shave or 'man scent'... except someone gave me some once as a present... haven't got a clue what it is... used it about 4 times... think it got thrown eventually...
I just smell of whatever anti-perspirant I've got (currently Morrison's £1 a tin).#
I find that these days, apart from boys smelling like a tart's handbag (see above) most adults seem to smell of exactly the same fabric conditioner... again, don't use the stuff, so no idea what it is.

I had a girlfriend who insisted I wore Brut 33. I thought at first she was being ironic, as by this point in the late 70's it was declining in popularity and the jokes were starting, but no, she loved it!

Probably because her other boyfriend wore it and she didn't want to arouse any suspicions.

brut 33 but never worked that really in hindsight

 

[longers]

She had no idea, and I still can't work it out. So ... when did it become cool for young lads to go to school in a cloud of strong pong?

Over twenty five years ago Brut was thrown about in the changing rooms after swimming by those that had it.
Those that didn't have any couldn't help but come out ponging strongly too.

I started off on Denim, then moved onto classier brands like Kuros and Drakkar Noir or so I thought. At least Drakkar Noir had a cool name and a cool bottle, and after googling you can still get it now lol. I hardly bother with it now, if I do it is some Joop or Incense that I have had for years.
