Jade East (modern version)

I just got this bottle of Jade East aftershave in the mail yesterday. I’ve been on a bit of a hunt for it. Couldn’t find it in brick and mortar stores at all; most store workers did not even know this existed at all. I got it through Amazon. When I do get a chance to wear it, I’m going very light on this aftershave as it is very potent. Attachment 274525

It's nice to find our favourites. I am not familiar with that scent, but I do love hunting for elusive products.

That's a good thing, means you are younger than me. :D

Jade East was one of my favorites back in the '60s.

Tried a bottle a few years ago and it is still a great AS. Will get another soon.

Gentlemen,

Yes, I remember Jade East as a pleasant fragrance. Way back in the 14th century, it seems. Angelo, I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

Obie, I’m wearing Jade East now as we speak. After a few minutes of wearing it the scent eases up and becomes quite pleasant to those around me as well as myself. In the bottle the smell is quite strong; short time after applying the aftershave it is pleasurable to the senses. I also love that they added a plastic plug with a pinhole so the user doesn’t over do the AS.

Angelo,

Thanks for your thoughts on Jade East. The stuff brings back memories of my youth. If I may ask, where did you find it?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I bought my bottle from Amazon for $21 with free shipping for a 4 ounce bottle. I’ve also seen it for sale on Walmart and Sears websites but they may charge a shipping fee. That’s why I chose Amazon.

Thank you, Angelo. I think I will follow suit and go down memory lane with Jade East. Good stuff.

I found mine at an antique shop earlier this year. It was a Vintage bottle made by Swank who was the original producers of Jade East!
I wish I could tell you the difference between the old version versus the new version but I can't. I haven't purchased a new version. I like what I have but my wife prefers Clubman Pinaud the best.

Nice find. I’m a bit young to know the original scent (31 soon to be 32) but I have a great deal of respect for classic aftershaves. My personal favorites are Clubman Pinaud, English Leather, British Sterling and now, Jade East.
