1. Or.........neither?

2. Acetone or MEK?

[jmowreader]

24. Acetone. Definitely acetone.

Acetone isn't nearly as toxic to the central nervous system as MEK is.

But if I had the choice, I'd much rather have a can of naphtha. I have uses for it.

[Sanity Claws]

3. What about English spice?

[FM123]

4. I remember that stuff....

I think the ladies counterparts were Jean Nate and Charlie, lol 😀

[LeftInTX]

31. Jean Nate was nasty

I had a Charlie phase.
Wonder if it is still around?

[FM123]

35. We all had a Charlie phase I think😀

Jean Nate made me sneeze like crazy every time my aunt put that crap on.....

36. It Was Still Around

a couple years ago and if you smell it you will be right back in your Charlie phase, but then you realize you can't go around smelling like the '70's. There's something about that perfume that is unbelievably compelling. I actually thought of buying a bottle to just smell in the privacy of my room.

5. Canoe

[Hoyt]

6. My favorite in 60s. Haven't used anything in decades, though.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. I always sort of liked that one.

9. English Leather...I was a 14-year-old freshman (girl) and didn't know nuthin about nuthin,

but that scent drove me mad ALL day long!

Them boys smelled guuuud!

[Aristus]

14. That was me!...

No. The truth is, all the English Leather in the world couldn't get the girls to notice me back then...

[teenagebambam]

10. Pinaud Clubman! n/t

[Different Drummer]

21. I liked that, too. n/t

[Marie Marie]

11. British Sterling.

[aka-chmeee]

12. BS and Canoe

First Christmas gift from first HS girl friend was English Leather, tho. Liked it too.

[Different Drummer]

22. All of those were/are good. n/t

34. great sig line btw! nt

13. Jade East

15. Hai Karate was the preferred stench in high school.

After that, English Leather. And now: nothing beyond a warm shower in the morning and an effective deodorant. That's what doing business in countries where men utilize scents in the place of personal cleanliness will teach you.

[LuckyCharms]

16. Jovan Musk. n/t

[Different Drummer]

20. I used to bathe in that stuff in high school. People would smell me before they saw me. n/t

[LeftInTX]

32. I also had Jovan Musk for women

The claim was that it was a pheromone that made you irresistible.
Everyone wore it, but it didn't smell very good. No matter how much I wore, I just never developed "animal magnetism".

I also had patchouli phase.

[Different Drummer]

18. If it's a choice between those two, I'd take Brut all day long.

These days, I tend to favor original Polo.

19. WD-40

[Skittles]

23. Brut

[RobinA]

25. Brut

Although it would remind me of my uncle. He used it and didn't overdo it. My grandfather used English Leather, also only to the degree that it was enjoyable.

28. BAck in the 70's

while working as a package designer, My design was chosen for one of Hai Karate's gift sets.

[Docreed2003]

29. English Leather! Lol!!! Or original Old Spice!

We had a vice principle in high school in the 90’s that I swear bathed in Brut!

[stopbush]

30. Back in my high school days, I had quite the collection on Brut on my dressser.

Hated the smell and never used it, but family members would peek a look at my dresser and believe I liked it, so it became the birthday/Xmas etc present of choice/ease. Once I had amassed 4 bottles of the crap I decided it was time to trash the lot and let the family know that my “taste had changed.”

37. Soap & Water and a little pit-stick. (n/t)
