    RyX DoH!

    Nice display! Good spread on the choice of scents, too.
    Most often I see in the wild is Wild Country. I like it and have a backup bottle. I finally spotted a motorcycle containing Lime. Passed it by as the scent wasn't impressive after Lime Sec & Citrus Musk from Pinaud. Still watching for Old Spice Lime.
    Vintage is good. ;)

    Thanks.....I thought it might be something real fancy where the aftershave comes out of his head.

    I didn't know that Avon still made those fancy decanters.

    as far as I know they don't. the newest one that I own is from 1999. All the others are from the 60's/70's.

    I calculated (as such) how much I have of each scent. The total is about a half gallon. I suppose I'm set for a while, but I have an urge to find more Spicy, Bay Rum and Windjammer ;)

    Bay Rum 2oz
    Deep Woods 5oz
    Leather 7oz
    Mesmerize 2.5oz
    Oland 16oz
    Spicy 7oz
    Tai Winds 4oz
    Tribute 5oz
    Wild Country 8oz
    Windjammer 5.5oz

    Okay I have to ask, is it the bottles you folks are looking for or does/did Avon actually make decent AS/cologne?

    To me they all smelled the same just in a different bottle.

    Most of them have a similar vibe, a few are more distinct than others (The Bay Rum, for example, is fantastic), but as for me I collect for both reasons. I think the bottles are fun to display and I really do enjoy using the aftershaves. I love the "old man"/vintage scents that you just can't get anymore, and I've had luck in that so far all my bottles have been full and contain totally legit and usable aftershave.

    Does the Bay Rum have a clovey smell to it?

    no, not like I remember Pinaud VIBR. This is closer to Master's.

    ah, thanks....the Master's Bay Rum has caught my interest, and now so has that of Avon.
