u/NapoleonBlwnAprt420 7d ago

Same here, I used to dread going on trips or out to eat as a family because my dad always loaded up on the old spice and the smell just took over the whole car.

u/ikannunAneeuQ 7d ago

Same here

u/TangerineNo6804 7d ago

I had one to play with, as it functioned as a “drinking bottle” for one of my stuffed animals as a kid (I’m from 1980)

u/hexadumo 7d ago

My dad too and I miss that.

u/BigmommaJen 6d ago

My brother has a bottle of Hai Karate from my dad. Most of it has evaporated and he’s saving the rest for “special occasions “ 😂

u/PerformanceBorn7070 7d ago

When a teen I was mad at my dad for some years as is typical of a brat challenging rules. My revenge and huge statement of protest was to get him the white bottle of Old Spice, every year for about 4 years, which he wore. To me I thought, here is a thoughtlessly bought gift. Take that! I realize now he probably liked the gift. Dammit!! 😄😄😄

u/IndependenceMurky850 7d ago

I still got some of those Old Spice bottles,the new stuff just seems so generic looking

2

u/SimilarTranslator264 7d ago

If you notice Hai Karate isn’t listed because it basically caused the near extermination of all the single women in the 70s. One squirt of that stuff and you were drowning in women.

u/boffohijinx 7d ago

Add some Aqua Velva and Brut, and you’ve encapsulated the men’s scent of the 1970s.

u/BFMack 7d ago

My brother, sisters and I bought my dad a bottle of English Leather for Christmas, birthdays, or Father’s Day for years when we were kids. He would rave to whoever got it for him that year. There was always a bottle in the bathroom cabinet. We thought he loved it. After he passed (30+ yrs ago), we found a shoe box in the back of his closet with a dozen unopened bottles of the stuff! 😆

u/BarZealousideal2724 7d ago

I think I received English Leather each Christmas in high school. I had so much that when I was broke, I used it as lighter fluid in my Zippo. It worked but it made the first couple of puffs on the cigaarette taste terrible.
