When I was a teen in the 80's one year for Christmas I received a huge 8oz bottle of English Leather cologne (I asked for it based on one of those little plastic samplers I had received a few years earlier). It didn't end up going with me to college and it was thrown out. Maybe I wanted to leave it in the past, I don't remember exactly why but at some point it was disposed of. Since I've been engaging in my cologne/aftershave collecting hobby I'd always wondered if I could replace that bottle somehow. I knew the stuff they were selling now wasn't the same. A visit to Sears confirmed that. So I broke down and bought a 4oz bottle of vintage EL from eBay. Since the guy was in the same city, I had my bottle in just a few days (in the original wooden box). And I have to say opening that bottle made the memories flood right back.
I like it even more than I remember, probably because I know how to apply it and appreciate it more.. It looks great next to my other current and past favorites.
