does this count as Retro?

Dont know if it does, but at a gig on Tuesday night I smelled something I havent smelt in a long time. No not that, it was Brut aftershave.

I thought that was discontinued many yeas ago due to its deleterious effects on the ozone layer, and cruelty to women. I certainly havent seen it in a shop in a long long time. Maybe these guys bought in bulk......they certainly seemed to slp it on in bulk anyway!

Yeah think it is still around. They gave a free bracelet away with it the aftershave one stage I remember.

Yip, Brut is still very much alive, and my father swears by it!! Quite easy to get, between shops and chemists.

This reminds me of childhood Christmases when my mum would buy Brut and Hi Karate 'gift sets' for my numerous uncles as a present from me, back when I was too young to shop for presents myself. They wore the bloody stuff too, although I suppose there's a chance they may have only worn it when me and my mum were around I can't recall the smell of either (thankfully!)

Brut.....the essence of man.......i remember that ad and the Old Spice one.
Both of them smelled vile!

There was another around that only got advertised at Christmas - think it was blue stratos or something like that. anyone ever try it.

I thought Brut smelled nice! I'd wear it now if I had it!

My little sis would get me this (or similar) every Christmas and I stashed them all behind my drawer chest. Had quite a stash there.
