    ***OK Closed now to any further entries***

    Aaaaaaand the lucky one is @GSlim66,

    As discussed in a previous thread; I recently acquired a bottle of Herbal Aqua Velva. I really don't like the scent at all. In fact I think it's pretty bad. So for my Aqua Velva collection I kept a small bottle of it. The rest I decided to PIF out.

    That said I would prefer this bottle to go to someone who has an empty spot in their Aqua Velva collection for the Herbal, some one who really wants it. As this is After Shave I'm keeping it U.S. shipping only. To enter for this give-away just say "I'm in" below. I will pick the winner via random.org on 17 January, in the evening around 7pm Arizona (MST) time.

    So here it is straight out of the 70s; Herbal Aqua Velva. Was new old stock when I got it. Leaked a little in transit. But aside from what I took out it has never been use.

    Great PIF !

    I’m in

    I’m slowly growing a nice little collection of vintage and/or discontinued aftershaves so this would be a welcome addition.

    RyX DoH!

    I'm well set for AS, so not in.

    Had to look it up as this was new to me. From Fragrantica.com;

    AV Herbal.gif Maybe they were trying too hard?

    Yeah, I think that would explain why it smells like a 70s After Shave Grog (one that went wrong). I do smell some familiar notes to my 70s Aqua Velva Musk (attached) but the other scents just overpower anything good in the Aqua Velva Herbal.

    Fair warning; This isn't just regular Aqua Velva. It a short live grog of a spin off.

    I'm in, please. I love my aftershave collection, though the only AV ice tried and have is the blue. I think this would make a great companion lol, and a unique addition. It would see use also. Thanks for a fun PIF!
