    I'm a big fan of Brut, as is my wife. She says it makes me smell like me. :angelic013:
    Brut anti-perspirant/deodorant is all I've use for my pit stick for years.

    Anyway, other than the original scent, I have found Brut Attitude and Brut Dominant, neither of which I am overly impressed with.

    I know there are other Brut offerings out there, but it seems they cannot be had here in the states. Does anybody know any different?

    Can't help with your question, but I just wanted to say that I, too, love Brut. It always reminds me of Christmas when I was a teenager. I would get 4 or 5 bottles every year as gifts. My wife loves it too, but doesn't like for me to wear it. She said that it reminds her of her father and doesn't want me to ruin that memory for her.

    Erik Redd Lizabeth, baby, I'm comin' to join ya.

    Interesting. It looks like two different companies have marketing rights for the brand in different regions of the world.

    Brut Paris doesn't even appear to be available in France, the only countries in Europe are Russia, Armenia and Georgia.

    Yeah, I saw that. Makes ya wonder what all the legal-eagles were fighting over when it came to marketing.

    I'd rather smell like the old spice guy. :D

    Seriously, I think Canadians get a Brut sport AS or glass bottles or something.

    Brut doesn't smell that good to me. My girlfriend hates the scent and says it smells like "old man." I do remember seeing Brut aftershave and the aerosol deodorant in my parents' medicine cabinet as a kid.

    In your first link, first pic, the bottle all the way on the left. I have one, you can tell it is Brut, but the formula is different. I am a Brut fan, but the aftershaves do not agree with my skin, so I stick to the spray cologne these days.

    Send me your address and I will send you my bottle of Euro-Brut. I ordered it from somewhere... I cannot recall at the moment though.

    Brut Dominant is a great scent. Never smelled the attitude.

    I don't use the scent, but love the deodorant containers. Brut is one of the last companies to use the round ones that work well for some shave sticks and many shave brushes, as travel containers.

    I did notice some other "Brut" items on the bottom shelf at Walmart, here in MN.

    I love Aqua Velva, Mennen Skin Bracer, Lucky Tiger, Old Spice, and Clubman. Those scents could be counted as old men scents too. They're all way better than Axe. :sick007:

    First, I'm a little sorry to say that Brut just doesn't do it for me. I wish it did, but there ya go.

    Second, I have a story about Brut, but I can't do the full story justice via a text medium ... <sigh> ... butere is a humor-robbing version...

    In college, consumer goods marketing gave us sample boxes at the start of every semester. There was always a little bottle of Brut. One day, I found a good use for my unwanted sample.

    A friend fell asleep in his room while a small crowd of us were visiting with him and his roommate (no one was drinking, so "fell asleep" is not a euphemism!). When we noticed that Jimmy had rudely fallen asleep on his guests, I began the pranks. (I've reformed since then. I promise.)

    I started by filling Jimmy's navel with some sample shampoo. He was shirtless. I thought the sensation would wake him up. If not the sensation, then surely the snickering crowd that failed to muffle its laughter should have done the trick! Jimmy slept on.

    Next... enter the Brut. I figured a couple of drops delicately placed on Jimmy's lip would do the trick. Ever tried to pour something and the liquid ran UP the bottle? Rather than landing on Jimmy's lip, a streamlet of Brut dove through Jimmy's slightly parted, delicately snoring lips. THAT woke him up!

    Apparently, Brut tastes way worse than it smells. It is also long lasting. Jimmy made a couple of trips down the hall to wash then brush the Brut from his mouth. NOTE: Brut beats Crest!

    I think it was Jimmy's third return to his room that he noticed the shampoo trailing from his navel down his leg. It really wasn't fair to us because we had barely caught our breaths from his Brut-scapades.

    I wonder how Jimmy feels about Brut today?
