Antique store English Leather find

I'm thinking from the 70's. Full/unused and smells fantastic.

Wow....nice find indeed. I'm not much of a "cologne" man, but "Aftershave&Cologne" is good. Course if it's just "Aftershave" so much the better.

 

cool score sir..

 

Nice score! There were two makers of E.L. You got the MEM that's supposed to be better than the reformulated Dana I found.

1. Top Notes
   • Bergamot,
   • Lemon,
   • Petitgrain,
   • Orange,
   • Lavender,
   • Rosemary
2. Heart Notes
   • Rose,
   • Orris,
   • Honey,
   • Ferm
3. Base notes
   • Cedar,
   • Leather,
   • Tonka,
   • Vetiver,
   • Musk

 

I have a bottle of the Dana as well, and this definitely is warmer and has more depth. This is what I remember from when I was young. The current stuff still smells pretty good, but getting to compare it side by side really makes the pre-reformulated version stand out.

I guess we're saying the MEM actually IMPROVED English Leather?

 

so cool I love English leather vintage and the new stuff very lucky find congrats

 

Opposite, Paul. MEM was the original maker. Dana bought the brand name, reformulated, and released their version.

 

Exactly. It isn't screechy loud and doesn't have crazy longevity. Just nice and warm and cozy.

Ooooooohh..ok. Just like what happened to Rise Shaving Cream. That means JoAnna had the real thing in the raffle. Lucky me .
