Brut

I am going to ask a sad Q does anybody still use "Brut " products body " Splash it all over" or the after shave I remember when I was a teenager it was all the rage Girls loved the smell and at the time it was quite expensive I even watered it down when it was coming near to the end of the bottle :rock: Then it seemed to fall by the wayside Then became a bit of a joke. If you used it you where classed as " Medallion Man " with your shirt opened to your navel and wearing dark shades that covered half your face and a thick gold type chain round your neck with a massive big medallion hanging from it. Is it still being made and what do today's men think of it.

I still use it as it is cheap here in Australia and often heavily discounted at the supermarkets. NOT my favourite by a long shot.

Let it all hang out man chill out Fab etc and all that 60s talk:rock::rock::beer1::rofl2:

I was using there deodorant for awhile was a good product. Tried something new last time and will probably go back once I am done.

As for the AS tried it when I first really got into SRs and my wife was like it reminds me of my uncle so that quickly got put in the trash.

I still like Brut and use it from time to time. It is quite strong and I apply it sparingly so as not to remind anyone of "Medallion Guy".

It's part of my A/S rotation. Nice and cheap, the smell reminds me a little bit of Clubman with a twist.

I enjoy the occasional use of it.

I am intentionally avoiding posting in this thread...


Well that worked did it not?

I still have some from back in the day and now I am wondering if it is still any good,
I do like it but so many tried to take a bath in it back when it was popular.

I may have to put my nose to it again.

How would you be able to tell if it had gone bad??

Brut products are cheap enough in my area.

I've tried the deodorant, aftershave balm, and splash. The deodorant and splash were OK; I eventually moved on to better products. I was using the aftershave for over a year, but stopped when they changed the recipe. I moved on to other aftershave lotions and balms with less alcohol in them.

It is rather strong - some Brut, some distilled water and a dash of witch hazel make a useful combination....

I have had a cologne go bad, get rancid. Some oils have a shelf life, heat sunlight etc. can affect them.

I still use it in my rotation, but not often. if you still have the glass bottle, hold on to it, most are plastic now.

I think the formula has been compromised, kind of neutralized like P&G did to Old Spice. I don't think my tastes changed, but it changed.

i have the glass bottle...is a good product as A.S.,the smell is near to Mennen and for me nothing special....i use it but not often

I used to always have it when i was a teenager. I recently tried it again and it burnt the hell out of my face, too much alcohol, which is bad for your skin anyways...

Maybe someday I will try it again .

It's in my rotation but I don't choose it often. I like the smell a lot but it is very strong. I personally like the feedback/sting. Many others are just plain better. If I had to choose a drugstore AS I would have to say I've really grown fond of aqua Velva cool blue, despite the crazy blue dye.... Aqaua Velva smells and feels great. I'm also partial to clubman, mainly because I have always used it. Brit still decent stuff though. I really like there stick deodorant. It smells awesome

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love the stuff! These classics are still around for a reason in my opinion. Old Spice, Brut, green Aqua Velva and Quorum are right up there in my daily rotation. Brut takes me back to being 16 in my Camaro thinking I had the world by the tail. I'm only 36 now but still love the oldschool scents. In fact I recently found a shop local to me selling Brut Musk and Brut Alaska in glass bottles for £2.99. I got the Alaska and love it, to me it smells very similar to CK Shock minus the candied overtones. Winner at £3 a bottle! Thinking about it I'll be stocking up on more in case they run out. My favorite bit about Brut is leaning forward and getting a whiff of it randomly throughout the day, I really like the way it settles down but still gets noticed. Lets hope it's around for years to come...

I use the aftershave balm from time to time, but it seems very weak & the scent doesn't last long. I actually use it as a face lotion instead of aftershave.

I faintly remember my dad used to splash it on after shaving as a kid, I remember I used to like its smell a lot and would keep opening the bottle to smell it after he's left. But I'm not buying it nowadays, lots of better stuff out there- even classic ones like Floid amber I really like and Old Spice.

Haven't used the splash on in years but my teenage sons both like the brut deodorants now, the youngest (16) likes the smell of the splash on at the shop but only shaves the bum fluff one every month or so only uses a sensitive skin gel type AS the 19 year old isn't convinced yet about AS benefits still trying to teach them right
And the SR scares the shit out of then and too slow apparently LOL

I still use Brut every once in a while. The wife doesn't like it all that much so I have to limit its use

I don't like the smell of it at all. Same with aqua velva and old spice...the current production anyway. I even hated the one clubman AS I smelled...who knows, maybe liking those types of scents is a generation thing :p

Or maybe just a preference thing. I'm not that old and I enjoy all of the scents you listed. Maybe I'm just drawn to the "old days" lol

Agreed. I'm not old either and unlike all the scents. Like cat said- maybe I'm just drawn to the old way of doing thing. Brüt aside, aqua velva blue and musk are awesome.

Acqua velva, Brut, and Clubman all smell nasty to me. Old Spice, on the other hand, I love. It was my Dad's scent, so maybe that's why. If I'd had a Camaro and a girlfriend and wore Brut in the day, I'd probably love it now. But I didn't, and I don't.

I wear Brut aftershave and deodorant all the time. I'm only 30 so it was never in fashion during my time.
I like the smell of it, to me it smells like a real man. Though as someone here already said that could just be because my Da wore it.
I remember he used to use Brut talc as well but I don't think they even make that anymore.

Not the best, but it is definitely in the rotation.

A NOS I found is still good and occasionally I find another NOS bottle at a garage sale. It was a bit better than the new Dolla Sto brand..aren't they all!
I like it occasionally.

Yes, remember that one, but one I haven't seen in years, if I remember it wasn't bad, of course you had to have a license to get it:

Thanks..I needed that!
I have a friend antique dealer whose husband will only wear it a\so I have to watch for NOS wherever I go.
I have seen some posts where it went bad in the bottle. Most men's products don't So going after a NOS is usually worth the couple bucks at a yard sale or next to new store. Were it not for them I would have very little in fru fru!

I read somewhere that the actual concentration is 33% of the original formula. The bottle with the silver bands are closer to the original one.

I like Brut for two reasons: I like the smell, and it reminds me of my childhood. My uncles used it. I wish they still had the frosted bottles.

I can remember it during the 1972 Olympics they were really pushing it along with Martini and Rossi. The smell was a lot better then....I was only 10 my smell buds might have been different then.
