Growing up in the 70s & 80s - off topic!

A bit off-topic, but still nostalgic....

On Father's Day, my siblings and I were all IMing together (all 4 of us) and we were trying to remember the aftershave my father used to wear....

Did anyone's dad wear AFTA aftershave lotion?

Anyway....They still sell it!

My husband bought one for my brother and my sister's husband....

Mmmm.....It's so cheap, but it smells soooooo good....

Back in the day my dad was an Old Spice guy, lol.

Well it says a lot about your taste in men at that age that your first boyfriend wore Blue Stratos

I honestly can't remember what any of my boyfriends wore - maybe my memory is trying to erase them

My mum wore Anais Anais and I used to wear Poison but I think the smell of it now may make me

Don't forget Denim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5TuGQcXgc8

In my six year old mind I thought that any man who wore this would be the height of all things sophisticated!!

Edited: I posted the link not realising it would come up like that. Hope I don't get into trouble...

 

[Macwooly]

No trouble from me I forgot about Denim

I remember Beautiful but not the others The boys always bathed in their aftershave so smoothed the smell of the girls
