Lost Aftershave Brands

Vern1961 · 9 Nov 2009 at 04:36

Digressing from the manly shaving thread, just wondered if anyone knew what happened to the following brands or when they were discontinued?

1. Insignia + Insignia Rio.
2. Brut Aquatonic.
3. Celsius (which was a particular favourite of mine).

Denim for men (Stolen off me dad)

Jazz (stolen off me cousin)

No idea about your brands though, brut was like nats pee

Yes remember "Denim" too, another fallen flag.

You can still get Brut Original, Aquatonic was actually a not too bad white balm a bit mentholly ISTR. A subsequent quick Google seems to indicate this was taken over by another manufacturer and sold at S/Drug but a visit to their site doesn't list anything.

You can steal buy Jazz dude. There are a few online outlets that sell it also I have seen it in my "generic" aftershave shop only a couple of days ago.

Normally I just steal a bottle of my dad he seems stock the stuff

how about Old Spice

A little research into insignia is telling me it was just pulled off the shelves. Still sell it in some places apparently. I thought it was re-branded.

insignia is everything shampoo to shower gel ,
deoderant and aftershave with one all over smell

Brut Aquatonic was awesome. I didn't realise they'd stopped it.

Brut aquatonic? Isn't that the stuff you could buy from oxfam for 10p a bottle, very popular with tight people?

I was going to say Hai Karate, I don't remember that advert but that has had me in stitches!

Anyone remember "Blue Stratos".
It was around at the same time as Brut and Denim.
My old fella used to have some, jesus what a pong.

my all time fave was Lynx's Alaska.

Landy · 9 Nov 2009 at 13:33

Oh god can anyone remember Lynx Oriental, most disgusting stuff ever!

I picked up some Brut Aquatonic in Wilkinsons. It's the Eau de Toilette for a man who no longer needs to court. But it seems 'sex panther' is where it's at.

I LOVED Lynx Atlantis, why they got rid of it I'll never know, it's miles better than Africa which they've kept for yearssssss
