my favorite is the av green original sport(my grandfathers also).then the av blue. musk is my least favorite.
Arizona. I have found places online that sell the Green stuff. But at checkout it will say that they won't ship that item.
It is supposed to ship ground, that’s all. Slow and expensive, but you can do it. I don’t know if there is a limit on how much. I suppose some online retailers won’t ship it, cause they don’t want to screw around with the Ground Shipping.
I'm really not sure. I suppose that would have to do with the Canadian postal service. The U.S. postal service allows it... But every single vendor that I have found that carries the Green Original Sport Aqua Velva will not ship to the U.S. I have even tried to the Canadian side of Walmart. As soon as I put my address in it says "one or all" of my items will not ship. I really don't know why Aqua Velva doesn't just make it available down here as well.
I have one of those AV pokr chip bottle sets with Red, white, blue, and Green. All of which just have a strong alcohol scent. Although of the vintage scents the white bottle smells the best. The AV Sport is not bad either but smells like fresh laundry. Haven't tried the Musk or Herbal but the original AV is a timeless classic scent that is awesome but doesn't last very long IMO.
From what I've seen of the Poker set; the White Bottle was the "Surf" scent. My wife and Step Daughter like that scent. I have heard it is similar to Avon Wind Jammer or English Leather Wind Drift. I wonder how much the plastic bottles have changed those scents over time... When you say "original AV" are we talking the original Yellow AV circa 1917~1940s, with a nice powdery bergamot scent? Or the Ice Blue that has change recipes through the years?
Yea the white is the best of the bunch, but I'm sure the plastic changed the scent over time. The original blue Aqua Velva from the grocery store. I transfered mine to a glass bottle (Guarlain Imperial- smelled terrible).
The new owners of Aqua Velva might do well to rename the Musk-"Aqua Velva Wild West" (AVWW). Just a thought.
Has anyone ever tried the Aqua Velva Sea Wave? It looks like it was offered in Europe so I'm thinking it may have been the same as Aqua Velva Surf, but not sure. https://www.ebay.com/itm/123795935532
