[QUOTE="Tex, post: 29034675, member: 2619" Can’t get it any more. I think it was very similar to Eau Sauvage but whenever I happen to notice that in a department store it’s now completely different, just called Sauvage and has filthy tramp friggin Jonny Depp all over it!

Used to nick my dad's Eau Sauvage...and Drakkar Noir :oops:

You can still get proper Eau Sauvage though, Sauvage is a completely different scent. It's not terrible, but everyone I've met who wears it can be smelt from about fifteen foot away, so it's a bit full on.

Francois Kurkdjian for me now, which I like a lot.
 


Bloody hell, going by the posts on here, I think Windsor Davies had it right.
We’ve turned into a Nation of Nancy Boys
I pray to God we have no more wars.

I think men’s aftershave was almost unknown in the Fifties and about as rare as hens teeth in the Sixties.
Whatever went wrong ?

Everyone smelt like a tramps jockstrap back then though.

I can remember my dad running out of Brylcream, took evasive action and smeared margarine through his barnet before he fcuked off up the klerb.

Following on from the ‘Breaking News’ thread someone was on about what aftershaves were popular in the 70s, Old Spice and Brut. Anyway in the 80s you had Kouros and Paco Rabanne although I never wore any I used Armani back then. Fuck knows what was popular in the 90s although my preferred option was Issey Miyake. I just wear whatever I get as a present these days, nee chance I’d fork out daft money unlike my eldest who’s just paid £130 for some ‘fragrance’. Come on then who wore Pagan Man or Hi Karate?

Pagan man for this wank splat when I left school in ‘84. The bewers at Marketforce couldn’t get enough of my then apprentice tongue.
 
Noticed Jean Paul Gaultier being advertised again a few month ago, probably around 15+ year since I had a bottle as a teenager. Saw it in Boots before Christmas and to be fair it is nice.

I've used most of these aftershaves over the years but for me the best had to be Viktor Rolf 'Antidote' it had to be taken off the market and discontinued due to the overpowering effect it had on females ;)
 
Was there one from the 90s called Hero? Have vague memories of being dipped in it before visiting Bentley’s...
