My father used Old Spice ( I used to nick it back in the day ) and I went on to use Brut and then discovered Kouros.

This is what my father used and I am 66 years old.

I have used Ted Lapidus EDT since 1987 and nothing else I have tried comes close to it, and I still buy it online, although it is not easy to find or to ship, but I manage to get it sent via friends.

 

And for those interested I do shower up to 2 times daily and I do use an antiperspirant!!

 

[moogradod]

Exactly what happened to me. Exept that Kouros is not really an aftershave. It is eau de toilette. Now I use mostly Antaeus:. Available at Central Festival.

 

As far as showering goes: 2 x per day minimum with Shokubutsu Monogatari.

Anyone know for certain anywhere that sells genuine 'Kouros'? Have been looking on and off for years.

And you are obviously obsessed. Help, "I can´t find my favorite brands". "I bring 35 bottles of aftershave with me". Really???

Yes, i am defiantly obsessed for sure - Have been into my fragrances for the past 40 years - Its a big passion of mine.

 

I understand that its not for everyone but i should be ok for a few years. Thanks for the positive feedback.

I never use aftershave. EDP/EDT is much better and lasts longer. Best one IMO is Joop. Fragrance will last well over 24 hours.

 

Love this fragrance but sadly i have an allergic reaction from Joop.

The picture you displayed is an EDT bottle and not aftershave. It has a spray head delivery. 

 

Yes, i understand - I mostly use EDT & EDP.

Interesting - Not really familiar with this fragrance. Will look out for it in the future.

If you havent found one by September, let me know & I'll have one brought over for you from the UK.

I have not bought Kouros in Thailand, but I suspect that the official YSL shop in Central Festival cannot afford not to sell the original stuff - although there is no guarantee exept your nose.

While we are at fragrances at the time please allow me to hijack this thread a little bit. My wife is looking for the ordinary original "Opium" (red) and was told by sales personnel in Central Festival that it is not available - whatever they meant - not produced anymore (which I doubt), not available in Pattaya (possible). Anybody knows a reputable shop (preferably Pattaya, but BKK is OK, too) that sells it ?

Thanks I appreciate your offer. In the mean time I'll carry on looking.

Similar product is sold in Thailand everywhere. Not for overpowering old man smell but a disinfectant and conditioner for the skin after shaving.

It's neither a "disinfectant" nor a "conditioner", it's just perfumed aftershave!

It must be 40 percent alcohol. Why does it sting ?

Because it is 40% alcohol.

Unless alcohol no longer has "disinfectant" properties, case closed.

My sister sends it to me if I am running out of it before my next eurotrip.

Never bought it in Thailand but -not sure if still exists- there was a Vichy booth at Central Siam.

Chanel NEVER do any sales on their products (They don't really need too)

Chanel Antaeus only comes in 1 size - 100ml - How much is it at Central Festival ??

 

UK = £85 per bottle.

I can get it for £69.70.

Imagine how much money Big Industry would lose if people were satisfied with their bodies and didn't feel the need to try to 'fix' them.

Mine too but very expensive - Unfortunately over the past few years, they have slightly changed their ingredients as some of them have become more & more expensive to acquire. Resulting in their recent batches becoming more weaker - 

 

I have a 100ml bottle of Aventus, i think around 2017 batch - Recent batches are not the same quality.

 

There is actually a big market with people looking to purchase older batches.

 

I won £300 on a football fantasy league & treated myself to a bottle - £260.

 

They recently introduced the Creed Aventus COLOGNE - I received a nice discount & bought a 100ml bottle for £160, direct from Creed.

 

I only wear these on special occasions.

I think you are on the wrong thread old boy - I think you are looking for the Silicone Valley Thread.
