    Bought this trophy-cased, vintage bottle of Brut back in the day and not until most recently did I break the seal and splash some on.

    Now, I remember when Brut was first introduced in 1964. (No, I was NOT shaving back then, ha ha). But who could forget Namath and Ali pitching this fragrance? For the curious, here are the "notes":

    I have to say, considering that this cologne has a "grocery store" reputation, it is, IMO, a really terrific scent. My wife (very particular) gave me her seal of approval last time I was wearing it. [​IMG]
    And the presentation back then...pretty cool. Anybody else "splash on" the Brut?

    My "signature" scent. Becky tells me it makes me smell like me.
    I have and use Brut ASB, Brut AS, Brut Splash, and Brut cologne and Brut antiperspirant/deodorant.
    While I do move around and use other balms, aftershaves and colognes, the Brut pit stick is the only pit stick I use.

    I used Brut quite often when I lived in Greece but I also noticed the scent was different then from how it is now. The newer version doesn't really appeal to me so much. It's not bad but I prefer the older one.

    I use it frequently. I agree that there is a bit of softening of the scent over the years.

    I like and use the Brut Deodorant. Haven't used the A/S since about 1974. Not in any hurry to reacquaint myself.

    That's how I used to feel. Find a bottle of the vintage. You will be pleasantly surprised.

    I love the stuff...but, alas, I can't wear it. I work in a scent free environment. Enough said...

    I love brut..new old whatever. I also use the dollar store knock offs. I get more good comments with brut or smells like brut then any other AS I wear.

    That's a great looking bottle. I have the blue and red bottles of Brut, I'm not sure how I feel about them.

    I have a blue bottle - Brut Attitude. Not bad. Once gone I doubt I'll buy more.
