Of course, Imatchgrl! Perfume emergencies! What a bright girl that Jenny was!

It was probably English Leather that my dad used to wear back in the late 70's/early 80's as I can remember the bottle with the wooden cap, but as for CLEARLY remembering, it was when he switched over to wearing Blue Stratos.

He wore that for quite a few years and he loved it.



I also remember Old Spice making a "Leather" scented version of their fragrance. It came packaged in a brown box -- I used to love smelling that.

I wouldn't wear either of them today, however. They're just "not me."

Apple Blossom, and yes, I still like it.

Jeffery, was that brown-boxed one called Old Spice Burley? I seem to recall something of the sort.


Jicky, there was available in my youth an Apple Blossom perfume by Helena Rubinstein. Is that the same one you're referring to? What I note is a lot of so-called "apple blossom" perfumes of today really smell like the fruit but the Apple Blossom of that former time was a clean, powdery floral scent with none of the fruit smell in it at all. Loved it!

It was something by LOVE, with the rounded dome top. Love's Fresh Lemon? The original Love, whatever it was called?

But before that, I used to smell the My Sin that was on my mother's dresser.
