About this deal

It's something you would get grandad when nothing else will cover up that "old man smell" of the nursing home. The Brut hit me like that, and I shot up like monstrous spring which had been coiled up for centuries and my eyes bulged as if a Burmese python was squeezing the last breath out of my lungs.

EAN 3014230021039 Olfactory Families Aromatic / Spicy Release Date 1964 Designer Karl Mann ingredients ALCOHOL DENAT. Though the fragrance has changed somewhat, the core is still there enough to remind me of the original. Still love it, but since I like the woodiness more than the powderiness, the 2 above fractionally edge it out. And, while perhaps a little dated - owing only to the nostalgia factor, in my opinion - it's a definite classic. PS this staple cologne was in every family toilet (as per Nottingh Hill’movie scene with Grant displaying Brut deodorant on the shelves) -then it went disrupted by the tastier colognes (yes- Brut’s brainchildren in the likes of Paco Rabanne pour Homme, Azzaro and Drakkar Noir sweeping by large the ‘80es).It truly is an icon that has stood the test of time and I would say that "the essence of man" isn't about the scent anymore, but the the decades of fond memories of our Dads, Grandpas and Uncles. It's fresh, clean, sexy and masculine, a wealthy uncle used to wear this in the 70s when it came in a glass bottle with a silver medal thing on a chain around the bottle neck, it was so butch and sophisticated! I don't know what's the difference with the special reserve as I have the one that's pictured above.

Unfortunately, this perfume, which was very common in Turkey for a while, is unfortunately not as popular as it used to be, with the changing perfume trends (sugar notes, spicy perfumes). Ten seconds later, it goes to a wonderful, high quality Jasmine which dominates for a good forty five minutes.Please be assured that our couriers will work as hard as they can to deliver parcels as normal, and will get your parcel to you as soon as they are able. I use the Splash-On when I'm just relaxing at home and I decant the "Cologne" and spray it on when I am going out for better performance.

The tonka beans remind me a little of a poor mans Le male though I'm probably very alone in this assessment. I picked up the glass bottle one and was not expecting much, but am really happy to say the juice inside is not only reminiscent of original Brut 33, but it's concentrated too. Haven’t used it for years, still has the same great fragrance, though it does not last very long so have to keep applying it at regular intervals.Now, I don't know how many of you have fallen through ice in the Antarctic, if you haven't it's good to know that there are few things that will wake you up and electric shock every part of you body like that shivering experience. From deodorant and body spray to shower gel and soap, you will find all the toiletries you need right here. A fragrance with almost half a century behind it that continues to fight to maintain its privileged place in the world of perfumery.
