Found a Ten Point Buck of Avon Leather on Ebay and it showed up yesterday. I am really liking this scent. I'm not crazy about pouring out of the bottle though. It is just an awkward shape to hold on to. I'll probably look for a different bottle to put it in for easier use then keep my eyes open for more.

Then you probably wouldn't like Pinaud Clubman. Wild Country is Avon's version of Clubman, and I find Clubman to be much more powdery.I would have to say that Wild country is probably my least favorite. Initially is seems like it may be a little too powdery for my liking.
That's why I love Avon so much... you can get it super cheap! (and it smells great too)Final cost was about 93 cents a bottle.
Brut is one of my favorites as well, and I personally don't think any Avon scent smells like it.Blend 7 I have never seen in the UK, it has aniseed top notes so I wonder if it is anything like Brut which I love.
Avon also made a large plastic chess board for the set. It wasn't available for sale to the public, so it's harder to find, but they are out there.lay them all out on a big cloth chess board we have
That's the big problem with Avon. They look nice, but more are cumbersome to use. I decant all of my Avon scents into Avon Apothecary bottles. Those are about as perfect a bottle as there is for aftershaves.I'm not crazy about pouring out of the bottle though. It is just an awkward shape to hold on to.
Nice score Angelo!Just got this bottle of Avon Original in the mail today and it’s 95% full.
Makes sense, I believe the Original became Wild Country. Not sure if it was tweaked a bit in doing so, or not.inda close to Clubman Pinaud but it’s different. Not as powdery and more masculine.
Dude! You had a GREAT day!Found some more vintage Avon today - all full!
A car bottle of Island Lime, a penny bottle of Bravo, and a Tiki bottle of Tai Winds. (Plus an aerosol bottle of old Brut). I never turn away from Island Lime or Bravo, and I've been wanting a Tiki bottle. Plus old Brut? Yeah!

Somebody wrote that the Tiki bottle looks like something you'd see in the background in Spock's quarters!
Bravo, I use at least once a week. Lime is just the best.

The listing didn't list a location, just that it ships for $12.00. $25 total didn't seem to bad for the quantity of stuff there. I can message you the listing link if you would like.Sweet fancy Moses. Where?

Message sent.Yes please. Much appreciated.
Wow! I think I saw a glass bottle like that 30 or 40 years ago in my grandparents' house. I liked it because it was shaped like a ship. I never knew what was in it, though. Actually, come to think of it, the bottle may have been empty. I'm thankful for the OP for his post. I now know what was originally in the bottle!I know there are fans of Avon products here so I thought I'd share. Found this full bottle of Spicy for, as you can see, the princely sum of $1.50 at a Goodwill store. If you look closely you can see the layer of dust still visible. The screw off lid was so tight I wasn't sure it would even come off without breaking it.
The piece of tape has some writing on it that I can't make out, possibly from a yard sale many years ago.
Smells great! Very similar to Old Spice, maybe just a tad less strong.
