As a child,it was a great thrill waiting for the next one to drop through the letter box. No idea where mine went to, but they fetch a lot of dosh now, considering they were only a couple of shillings at the most.I had one of these badges,don't know what happened to it though

Oh Ye Gods, Memory Lane... I used 4711 - in the cute little bottles and the cologne stick (to rub over one's fevered brow) - also Lentheric's Tweed, which was a bit strange to be honest. I seem to recall some scent called Kiku as well, in a yellow container. For sheer knock-yer-socks-off perfume, Estee Lauder's Youth Dew was very popular for a while (in the 70s I think?)

Greenwood, You remind me about Kiku,by Faberge . That was a real favourite, although I can't remember what it smelt like. The 4711 and tweed were my mums' stuff. The pong lingers on.

Kiku came out around the same time as Brut for Men.

Remember to huge ball of 'Dusting Powder'

Never text a friend asking them to get some Charlie for you--it will alert the drug squad.
