Re: 70's perfume/Aftershave

My sister used to wear Tweed and Rebel. I used to love Yardley's Pure Silk, beautiful perfume.
My dad wore Old Spice..Remember the Hai Karate after shave ads? Yeah the ads were deadly, remember Prince Matchabelli with their corny Aviance one? Here it is here..

I like the orange enamel kettle ! Very 70's!

I reckon most of the 70's perfumes were very heady and unusual!

I loved FABERGE'S Aphrodisia and Xanadu?

Never heard of this Hai Karate aftershave but it was mentioned on the Royale Family Christmas special last night. When Joe was offered dubious dating advice from Barbara whether to wear Hai Karate, Old Spice or Brut. Wear a dab of all three was her advice!

My dad always wore Old Spice and Brut in the 70s. (Funnily enough, my mum bought him a bottle of Brut this Christmas.) Mum always wore Panache. I hated Panache as it always made my eyes water - or was that just the amount she used?!

You probably had a lucky escape judging by the dodgy packaging and name It's better to wear nothing (aftershave that is) then have people running for the hills If only scents had the effect of the old Impulse or Lynx ads I would buy loads

Re: 70's perfume/Aftershave

I remember the ads for Tweed and Panache. Personal stink memories are from much later: Anais Anais, Exclamation and Body Shop specials Dewberry and Fuzzy Peach.

My favourites were Y by Yves Saint Laurent, Courant by Helena Rubenstein and for everyday Cachet.
