Robin,if memory serves me well, (despite the vagaries of middle-aged little grey cells), the 'men in my life' always smelled lovely. I have always been quite 'selective' lol Rosex

Oh My!!!! Brut always will remind me of the cheesy fairground boys at the fair on the waltzer...they smothered themselves in it!!!! For my Dad it will be Kouros....picture him clear as a bell at the first smell of that. Now it is Joop...both my OH and boys......lots of bottles here :0)))

Kay, I don't know what my dad used, he died when I was young but I think i would know the smell of his shaving cream if it was still around. I remember the smell of Palma Violets in my grandmothers home and I was very tiny then. Rosex

My Dad wore Old Spice and my Brother in Law wore Brut..I used to wear Aramis but liked it better on my men! I remember Wild Country by Avon, Hai Karate, Tabac and 'Cedarwood'? I used to like Tabac.
