This little chap. Discontinued, due to fall in demand. Kids didn't know about him,and nothing to do with political pressure. 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 ![[Linked Image]](http://ebid.s3.amazonaws.com/upload_big/7/8/1/uo_1444823907-14483-84.jpg)

Venice, I actually think you might be pushing your luck a bit there. Now be a good girl and go dab on your 4711.

Spellbinder, just for you.  Some might mistake it for a bottle of gin, these days ! ![[Linked Image]](https://static.squarespace.com/static/52536652e4b007332ef4ecf4/52dec946e4b0ca499f87bce7/52dec965e4b0ca499f886ce3/1284684689012/1000w/09_16_10_Perfume2.jpg) Venice, A tin of Tweed talcum powder was never far away either. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.retonthenet.co.uk/ekmps/shops/retonthenet/images/vintage-tin-lentheric-london-tweed-perfumed-talcum-talc-powder-84g-gram-circa-1970s-half-full-contents-5430-p.jpg)

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' ![[Linked Image]](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/bc/8c/b7/bc8cb725f34ac67cb8392677a58c97fa.jpg)
