Lynx Amber & Oriental

[Richard1978]

Bit late to this thread. Lynx spice was the one of the 4 I liked and used. Was really gutted when it was discontinued. Although not one of the early ones I also liked Java, which was popular in the 90s. They re-released it last year and I stocked up on the shower gel and deo spray. I also liked the original Insignia and got the set with the talc and shower gel a few times for Xmas when I was a kid in the 80s. Again gutted when this was discontinued. I managed to get a vintage bottle of the original Insignia aftershave off Ebay about 10 years ago.

I remember Insignia used the slogan "Create a buzz not a him". I think it was they who had an advert set in the future where the main character's Gran was the same age as him!

I found a half empty can of Oriental this week inside an unused locker in a BT telephone exchange....the smell really brings back the childhood memories!

Re: Lynx Amber & Oriental

So amber and oriental dont exist anymore then.
Thats a pity.
Lynx has always been my fave type of spray.

I remember the original ad for lynx sprays very well.

Just love the designs on the tins for each new fragrance.

Re: Lynx Amber & Oriental

I wish I could find something that smells like what Lynx Oriental smelled of now. I really liked it! Or they should bring back Lynx Oriental and Amber!!

I'm surprised they have never brought all four back as a "Lynx classic" theme, would probably sell well an all.

Re: Lynx Amber & Oriental

There was a Lynx one called something like 'Electric' that smelled great. I was really disappointed when they dropped it.

Re: Lynx Amber & Oriental

I remember my brother getting a Slazenger set for Xmas 1987, getting a whiff of it sends me right back to that time period.

Whatever happened to Insignia?

Just had a leaflet posted through my door for Netto, Insignia is on sale for just £2 http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/...3d#/e9add83d/4

"Insignia's got everything shampoo and shower gel, deodorant and aftershave for one all over smell". That's the ad I remember.

I love getting smellies as presents. I've had friends whinge when they get them saying they are really unoriginal. Sheesh they aught to be thankful they are getting anything at all, and I don't see what's wrong with them.

in some ways its one of the better things you can get.
nothing wrong with them at all mate.

deodorants aftershave is not exactly cheap.
so a few bottles and tins of each could reach near 20 quid.
depending on which you get.

think how those friends you had would feel if they got nothing.
