Hey! I resemble--I mean I resent that characterization!
Almost all the powerhouses, and I rejoiced in my amazingly sophisticated taste by wearing out of fashion 'vintage' brews, like Aramis or Devin

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
My Antaeus can beat up your Armani.
Tabac original and Cacharel pour homme. I still like Tabac but the current Cacharel is as weak as piss, unfortunately.
Mid 70's to late 80's.

..are the ones that spring to mind. And they were always aftershaves then, as I knew no better.
Life's a bitch. If it were a slut it'd be easy.
I wore Quorum, exclusively, liberally. I rode a bus to work in the morning. There always seemed to be a lot of coughing.
Do you remember the big hair and the shoulder pads?
Perms and backbrushing...
Hairspray and big on the eye make up....

My father dealt in cosmetics at that time all the way through my teenage years, so our garage was full of perfumes and things. My sister and I were allowed to keep the sample sprays when they were too low to use any more, and we were allowed to use them to test. I seem to remember belonging to an Yves Rocher mail order club of some sort.

At about the end of the communist era in my country, there were some 'dollar-shops' where there were very limited number of western scents. The first one I bought was Alain Delon Iquitos, a really gorgeous scent. And then my currency-limit was exhausted for a looong time![]()

Still love them all, but wish I had endless bottles of the formulations from that time, rather than the inferior (but still decent by today's standards) versions that subsequently followed.
