Cologne and perfume

Hello, I use to refill our empty bottles with:
- Agua Lavanda Puig (for me), Heno de Pravia (my wife and me) and Gotitas de Oro (our daughter and wife).

Lately I've become obsessed with vintage fragrances, mostly because I'm in the process of recreating the mid-1930s in my tiny St. Louis bungalow. So I've been wearing the kinds of scents that a woman would have worn if she'd lived in this house about 75-80 years ago: Emeraude, L'Aimant, Tabu, Crepe de Chine, and L'Origan. I look for original (vintage) bottles on ebay, because the modern reformulations have very little resemblance to their lush, beautiful ancestors. That's true of the high-end fragrances as well, from what I've heard.

For modern scents, I still love Aromatics Elixir. Actually, my favorite vintage fragrance is Youth Dew, but it's a little too modern (I think it was launched in 1953) for my house -- not that that matters.

For summer I stick to Jean Nate and Florida Water. I have small travel spray bottles of each in the refrigerator. Very refreshing.

I am a big fan of C.O. Bigelow's White Elixir.

Yes indeed. Brut reminds me of my father and Old Spice of my grandfather. Good reasons to keep them around.
The commercial helps too:
