    But ya see, the fact of the matter is(I much prefer saying that than, "the reality is is that").....I didn't ASSIGN Doc Ming to assume responsibility for it.

    My short term memory keeps dropping details, but someone offered a suggestion that I've taken up. Paul - if you have extra soap left in your brush like I often do, transfer it to a wash cloth for a scented "the rest of my face" wash. Those good skin additives in shave soap make for acceptable forehead, neck, and behind the ears wash ups.
    Then when you finish applying aftershave splash or balm, rub the remains on your elbows. It'll treat the dry skin and make for good times on Aisle 12!

    I might argue with "There's nothing new under the sun". Look to B&M soaps & AS. It's that 1% of what were they thinking that keeps it surprising.
    Avon has released a few Originals, but majority of their scents are dupes.
    Some are better than others at matching the famous scents. When the makers discontinue a line then dupes or dwindling supplies of vintage are the two options.
    In a broad sense yes.

    Digging down there are thousands of essential oil options and variations giving near unlimited options when blended.

    Two companies, Noble Otter & PAA, are now using an unnatural cooling agent with no scent. Used to be it was achieved with mint extract - menthol. So the Science keeps moving forward by giving sensation without scent.

    Thank you Gary, Patrick, Jim & Jim, and Clint!
    Thank you Joe! I got the girls interested by sharing a splash of M&L Florida Water. It's an old time product and unisex so we all can enjoy it. Ulterior motive? When we go antique & thrift store, garage and estate shopping they now actively seek Avon bottles. We don't purchase empties unless it's a spectacular decanter. This is serious juice shopping! They are then to look up any new finds to discover the reasons why they smell good. School and learning never stops.
