I never thought any Avon aftershave had menthol, based on feel. But someone posted ingredients from Everest once and it listed menthol.

I'll be trying Everest tomorrow. I'll be watching for the menthol "tingle" or chill.
I've never seen or noticed menthol in Everest, I do have a few boxes from Spicy that list menthol though. Some days I can feel slight cooling, others it goes completely unnoticed, even when using the same bottle.
Tried the Everest this morning. Nice spice high note (not Old Spice). Settles down quickly to a floral kind of aroma, reminiscent to me of those soaps you find in a hotel. Sort of like Leather A/S but less sweet.
Hey guys, I have a line on a bottle of Tribute with a yellow liquid. But ebay photos of Tribute are dark green. What color is it supposed to be?
Tribute is yellow. Every pic I see on eBay it's yellow too.

Tribute I have is yellow. I believe it's their attempt at Faberge's Woodhue which is also yellow.
Well, Everest started a little spicy (but not like Old Spice at all). It then settled into a floral/woodsy base, sort of like Leather but less sweet. And then it seemed to develop as the day wore on, smelling nicer the longer I wore it. Was still noticeable at 8 hours. I think it's gonna be a keeper.
Been thinking about bottles that take up a minimum of room, came across pictures of the Classic series that look really good for this. I've seen 5 different A/S's in those bottles - how many did Avon make?
How many different Avon scents came in those book-like decanters? I've seen Wild Country, leather, Tribute, and Windjammer. Maybe Spicy - couldn't find an example on ebay today.
Oh those. I was thinking something else. Those are Pretty hard to come by. From the late 60s.
First edition decanter, 67-68: bay rum, wild country, leather.
Classics decanter, 69: leather, Windjammer, wild country, tribute,

That few, eh? Hmmm.
Might be possible to scrounge those up. Would make the A/S shelf alot more compact and tidy. I'll have to keep an eye out.
Thanks Vez.
Got some more Avon A/S's coming in. Four decanters from Studio Black Antiques in Kokomo, Indiana - with 3 new-to-me fragrances. (Any locals should really check them out. Very nice to deal with!).
So I picked up a Little Brown Jug off Etsy to use for some Bootleggers, and it's full of Deep Woods. Good stuff! Now I have to use it up. Oh darn!
I really like Deep Woods.
Deep Woods is only so-so for me. I like Everest more.
