BrutEDT 100 ml

Smells like Brut and you would expect it to do so. So I am not stating the obvious. Sadly store bought Brut aftershave is also meant to smell like Brut and is similar but not the same.So if you want the real smell of Brut this is for you.

Great item 👌

Bought before, will buy again

a good quality product at a good price

Lots of snobbery about Brut - maybe because it was so incredibly popular (common) for a while. Of course all the talcs, gels and shampoos did not smell like the after-shave so reinforcing the impression of cheap soapiness. Smelling it again without the prejudice, but with the nostalgia, it is clearly a masterpiece. Many people have never encountered it so they remark favourably on it. Don't overdo it! It is not a subtle scent.

First off, this is not Brut from Faberge. The reason for this is that Faberge no longer make it, UNILEVER do. I was born in 1969 and remember the very fresh, crisp and immediately recognisable aroma of Brut from the 70s' because every teenager was wearing it, which I found out when visiting friends that had older brothers or when walking through groups of teens congregated outside shops. There was only one other instantly recognisable fragrance from that era and that was Old Spice.Fragrance-----------Whilst there is a clearly recognisable aroma of Brut, there is also a very distinguishable 'peppery' aroma which knocks off all the 'corners' of the expected one. Gone is that crisp and immediate fragrance. Instead, we get a softer and less attention demanding wiff from the past.Duration----------Ha ha, well! The smell does last longer than the flavour of your favourite Wriggles gum but it really does not take too long before it converts to a skin scent, detectable only when very close up to the wife. I bought the EDT specifically because I'd read that that there was so little staying power in the aftershave. Sadly, the same is for the EDT too.Packaging------------The EDT comes in a very similar green long necked glass bottle to the original aftershave, complete with the medallion. The only difference is that the bottle has an atomiser and not a simple hole with which to 'splash it all over'. The bottle is packed into a very sturdy transparent plastic box so should not be damaged on arrival. All in all, a very good presentation meeting immediate gift giving standards.Alternatives?---------------I mentioned 'Old Spice' at the beginning, which is not in any way a direct comparison to the smell of 'Brut', as it has a totally different fragrance. But, if you want a fresh, crisp, 70s' classic, daily splash-on that has not changed one bit, you cannot go wrong with 'Old Spice - Original', in my opinion. Low price and high quality product and packaging are all still there.Conclusion-------------Brut EDT is a nice and welcome walk down memory lane to re-visit an absolutely fantastic smell which has unlocked so many memories, leading to too many "Remember when" conversations recently. However, as it is not a patch on the original from Faberge, and so not what I wanted, I won't be buying it again.

We were wearing this at secondary school and still wearing it all these years later …. Splash it all over … like the advert. on tv!!!!!
