That Aftershave is not sold here for years ..... too much alcohol.

They found it too heavy

Yup - Brut, Tabac, Aqua Velva - they all rocked the 70's and beyond. But I am curious who "They" are?

"They ",.... think most people here in Europe / Holland. Otherwise, there would still be sold here.
But even though it would still be sold here, I think few people would still might buy. If you throw it on your face, you're right blisters. it's too heavy. All I see here in the shops are Tabac.

You see the men here the "luxury" stuff spraying.
Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, Hugo Boss, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, that kind of stuff
Also, not all pleasant scents, but men should be able to say .... I have a bottle that costs $ $.
I use Givenchy Pour Homme Blue Label.
So yes I'd do it too

It's the same here my friend, except those brands would be considered "designer", I don't know about "luxury". They are readily available here.

Unfortunately, many products you have in Europe can't be found in my part of the world. I would take Castle Forbes, Czech & Speake, Dominico Caraceni or Truefit & Hill any day of the week before the generic scents put out by Klein, Armani or Hugo Boss. Just 'cause it costs a lot of $$ doesn't make it good.....

Absolutely correct. I had some D&G Light Blue a while ago. Cost me something like $65. I like my $7 bottle of Aqua Velva much better

Well that's true. I also said that a lot of stuff that costs $ $ is not always better or nicer smell. Most of it seems just the same, just a different name on it and a higher price.
Incidentally, I find it unfortunate that sometimes some stuff here in this part of the world is not for sale. There's stuff that I do want to try it out.

I know the Internet makes the world smaller, but often is not worth the high shipping costs compared to the price of the item.
