Giving new meaning to the expression "candy ass."
What ever happened to men smelling like bourbon or cigars or diesel or even that last bastion of manliness...Stetson!!! I just checked to be sure and the jeans in my drawer smell like, well, jeans. Aspects of the 21st century are proving difficult.
Ah, that takes me back. Brut and Hai Karate were my go to colognes during my teenage years. I was convinced that if I wore enough, girls would find me irresistable. As I got a little older, my more sophisticated self substituted Aramis, hoping to attact a more worldly and uninhibited woman.
These days, I'm more of a cigars and sweat kinda guy, and I get the same results!

Oh god, Hai Karate!!! That made me burst out laughing. Remember this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtwh3nQP5Uo
LOL, Jane, Gregg, Puglogic, and Alan! The video is a riot! Great memory, CathyA!
Haha.........I had forgotten about that commercial! Isn't that William Conrad's voice?
I had a boyfriend who wore Brut and I loved it. DH now wears Lagerfeld and DS wears Curve and those will always be "their" scents.
I found this list as the top 10 men's colognes of the l960's:
English Leather
Old Spice
Canoe
Hai Karate
Brut
Aqua Velva
British Sterling
Jade East
Aramis
Jovan Musk
.............."cause there's somethin' about an Aqua Velva man". haha
As far as women's cologne.......remember Emeraude? Midnight in Paris? Oh, what was that stuff in the pink bottle.....Tabu?? There were twin girls in my gym class in high school. They would never wash up after gym........but they would spray themselves heavily with Tabu. ~gag~ hahaha
This thread is hilarious. I love you guys!
