Nice set of the glorious Oriental Jade:
Left: Original MEM-brand English Leather 2 oz. set, includes the disappointing Lime and the mildly intriguing Wind Drift.
Right: Grail-level Aqua Velva 1.75 oz. set, including the actually decent Lime and the very Wind Drift-like Surf.

Haven't tried it yet. FWIW, I think that Wind Drift and the Aqua Velva Surf are basically the same thing, accessible fougeres. Same with Aqua Velva Redwood and the Skin Bracer Antique Leather--both of which are variants of MEM English Leather, just with different amounts of honey.
In all the AV, EL and Skin Bracer sets I have I think the Skin Bracer Mosswood is the only really original, really above-average one I have tried.

Nice bottle. Isn't the juice the same as Special Reserve?
Now that's some serious splash. I'm envious.
The thing I like about reading the fragrance forums is I am always looking up words, but this one only returned some place in France: fougeres
Forgive me, I just learned to wash.

I don't know if special reserve is the same as napoleon.I read in a review here that SR is a watered down version of napoleon.
On a side note Don Ohio gave me a heads up on a nos 4oz bottle of napoleon cologne so i picked it up.My day has been made.

One of the basic fragrance families for Men. Oak Moss, Fern, vetiver, etc. Herbaceous and lightly woody.

Thanks 'book.
Standing offer to anyone. Two of any of the seven bottles (I am keeping the Frost Lime) for one good mostly full bottle of Shulton Old Spice Lime or the full set of four English Leather's for a Shulton OS Lime set of at least two bottles or a bottle and some ancillary stuff (talc, etc.)
As a fortunate owner of a somewhat full bottle (I use and love it) of OS Lime that's a very reasonable offer you are making. If I find another I will give you a shout.
I live to serve.
I have something you want.
Cancel that, I read too fast - I have Shulton but not their Lime, drat - have been curious about that Redwood for some time.
I'm having to wipe away a few tears on this one...I remember giving my dad the Scrimshaw Decanter for Christmas one year. It was some time ago. Thanks for bringing back the memory.
I took this on a flyer off dbay -
AS & Cologne are each 4oz. - this is new in box.
has anyone heard of this or actually owned it?
it is a real leather - quite heavy, old school (these are sniffs-off-the-bottle... haven't worn it yet)....
Lamborghini No.6, from Parfums Lamborghini. Haven't found any info about it. The leather in the case and the bottle jackets is quite nice. Deluxe. I'm channeling Jay Gatsby here. (or Jay's grandson.)

Since nobody has mentioned Woodbury After Shave yet I thought I'd post that I have a partial bottle which I picked up recently at an antique store. If I get a chance I'll try to get a photo of it up.

That is very cool!
from a yard sale at a church down the street... Halston 101 - a hot item in the early/mid '80s, apparently. Won awards for being cat's jammies in Men's scents (limited - ????) and for the ad campaign. Couldn't have been TOO hot though, for it was discontinued after not-too-long a run, apparently.
nice scent - piny-evergreeny... not for summer, maybe.
It was 2nd only to Orginal Polo back in the early 1980's when I was in HS.
for the 101!I took this on a flyer off dbay -

I think that is the neatest looking set I've seen to date - with a carrying case! And once they are empty, those flasks can contain something a bit more potable?
