And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Dad was an airforce pilot and had a T33 assigned to him. He swore by aqua velva as it had a bottle & blue cap that did not leak at at altitude in his B4 bag.
Pick better women.... the stuff was an absolute panty-dropper in my neck of the woods. Along with Royall Lime, Hai Karate, and British Sterling. Hm. Could be the stinkum had less to do with the effect than we thought- possibly it was just the ladies.
Years ago, I bought a bottle of Brut as a joke for my wife. She hates scents of almost all sorts, but this was one of those old-school things that teenaged boys did back in high school. It's still there, unused, on the top shelf of my medicine cabinet.
I wore it in high school, late 70s. A little over a decade later, after living in a tent in Saudi Arabia for months in support of Desert Shield/Storm, I smelled that scent and it instantly reminded me of home. I bought the remainder of the bottle from the dude wearing it for a hundred bucks.
Good old Bruet 33. I still use it sometimes. Darker Noir I got the best reaction from women. One asked me "My God what do you have on" I told her I had a hard-on but I didn't know you could smell it
A friend used this stuff in college. But he rarely showered. So I associate this fragrance with body odor, unfortunately. I once liked it.
ReplyDeleteSmells like 1967 again. I remember my Dad tried it but Mom made him stick to Aqua Velva.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe Mennen's Skin Bracer in the glass bottle shaped like an open hand.
DeleteHah! English Leather was probably my first around '67 and Aqua Velva was my grandfather's favorite for as long as I can remember.
DeleteAs the commercial stated, there's nothing like an Aqua Velva man.

DeleteAnything in collector bottles from Avon
ReplyDeleteI miss Royal Lime.....that cool green bottle with the lead cap. Great smell
ReplyDeleteThey still make Royall Lyme. It's a good, light post-shower fragrance for after at the beach.
DeleteEvery stud in the fifth grade sported the scent.

I remember the very pretty young lady on a palfrey, in the English Sterling ads.

ReplyDeleteAnyone know if they still make Andron?
ReplyDeleteThe smell of Brute would make the hoes spontaneously unass them britches right on the spot.

I used to make this fragrance for DANA PERFUMES after they bought the brand from MEM. Made right in Mountain Top PA.....
ReplyDelete"My men wear English Leather or they wear nothing at all."
ReplyDeleteReal me don't wear perfume.
ReplyDeleteGet pretty good reactions from the smell of sawdust. You know Man glitter
DeleteI still have original Old Spice and Brut 33. Why change?
