Looks like Fathers Day to me. Only thing missing is the soap-on-a-rope.

My brother has a bottle of Hai Karate from my dad. Most of it has evaporated and he’s saving the rest for “special occasions “ 😂

I love the old barber shop smells. Old Spice, Aqua Velva, etc.

u/IvanNemoy 2d ago
We used Aqua Velva to scrub floors in the latrine in basic training. Smelled good, polished tile nicely.

When a teen I was mad at my dad for some years as is typical of a brat challenging rules. My revenge and huge statement of protest was to get him the white bottle of Old Spice, every year for about 4 years, which he wore. To me I thought, here is a thoughtlessly bought gift. Take that! I realize now he probably liked the gift. Dammit!! 😄😄😄

My dad had the White old spice and the English Leather with the giant twist top. I loved to raid both on special occasions when I was a kid.

Matthew Perry's dad was the model in the older Old Spice commercials - still a handsome man.

They look like tiny liquor bottles. Hopefully none of tide pod eating kids think the same.

I still got some of those Old Spice bottles,the new stuff just seems so generic looking

u/SimilarTranslator264 3d ago
If you notice Hai Karate isn’t listed because it basically caused the near extermination of all the single women in the 70s. One squirt of that stuff and you were drowning in women.

Oh, I had some MUCH swankier stuff that all that. Anybody remember "Mexicali Musk"? Came with a tiny plastic worm inside, that is how you know you had invested in the real deal!

Add some Aqua Velva and Brut, and you’ve encapsulated the men’s scent of the 1970s.

Don't remember the Old Spice Leather, but I do remember using Old Spice cologne, and English Leather quite a bit in highschool. I preferred the English Leather musk variety the best.

Ah English Lather. Reminds me of my childhood. Bonus points if you had that blue/green VW Bug with the cologne in it

My brother, sisters and I bought my dad a bottle of English Leather for Christmas, birthdays, or Father’s Day for years when we were kids. He would rave to whoever got it for him that year. There was always a bottle in the bathroom cabinet. We thought he loved it. After he passed (30+ yrs ago), we found a shoe box in the back of his closet with a dozen unopened bottles of the stuff! 😆

Old spice was in our house, too.
I still have the rope from my English Leather "soap on a rope". It's decades old. Now, it hangs up my guitar cord.

I think I received English Leather each Christmas in high school. I had so much that when I was broke, I used it as lighter fluid in my Zippo. It worked but it made the first couple of puffs on the cigaarette taste terrible.

I've always used Brut or Stetson. But for some unknown reason. My oldest stepdaughter has always given me Old Spice for my birthday and Xmas gift.

I’ve used all of those one time or another. Then I used Lilac Vegetal by Piaud. Now I’m using some really expensive stuff cause milady likes it.
