Advantages: Inexpensive Nostalgia
Disadvantages: Out Of Fashion

...of Brut , it was mine and I was wearing far to much of it. I can not remember the girls name nor can I remember if she was wearing a perfume herself, but I can see the view and feel the sun on my body just as if I really was back on that mountain path. I came back to the present to find myself at the door to my apartment key in hand, I shrugged and entered and made my way up the stairs a lot less sprightly than I went up that mountain trail.That is what got me thinking about Brut ( and a good deal more ) and I decided to dig out a few facts. Fabergé now part of Unilever brought out Brut in 1964 it was designed by Karl Mann and is a surprisingly complex blend of Mediterranean and tropical flowers, spices and woods.I would guess it was one of the most heavily promoted men's fragrances of all time, remember the advertisement with Henry...

Advantages: It has a sharp, slightly bitter, fresh smell; menthol makes skin tingle.
Disadvantages: Popular with 'rugby-types' ~ can be overpowering when 'layered' with matching anti-perspirant spray.

...It's amazing what you find when you start clearing out old cupboards you haven't touched for years! We're in the process of trying to clear a house now the children have all left home. I found a 200 ml square-ish plastic bottle of AQUATONIC Revitalising Shower Gel . . . by FABERGÉ of Paris. I even remember buying it, as part of a plastic-wrap pack including the 'matching' Deodorant Spray, which I gave to a friend who was living in a community and wasn't allowed to purchase such 'luxury' items. I don't know why I never offered him the shower gel, unless it was just he never asked. Anyhow, here I am in 2008 with a new product to try ~ and with these hot airless nights stifling me; I decided to try it myself. I certainly could do with REVITALISING today! ~ ~ ~ AQUATONIC REVITALISING SHOWER GEL ~ ~ ~ Packaging... Read review

Advantages: Trendy and long lasting
Disadvantages: Too expensive

...menswear, accessories such as sunglasses, belts, watches, shoes, hats and all the unisex denim jeans. The second level is like an in-between stop where one can try on the selected garments in the funky wooden changing rooms and the third level has more of a female theme with underwear, bags, skirts and accessories for ladies. Diesel has also recently begun to experiment in the profitable kids market with a really cool range of baby, toddler and kids clothes. This particular shop however does not stock any. The shop, a converted warehouse is also famous for its designer staircase, which has a down-to-earth yet mechanical feel to it. Possibly a bit like the clothes on offer as Diesel prides itself to design long lasting jeans a working person could wear over and over again. Diesel jeans are supposed to look better the longer one wears them... Read review

Advantages: Great Album, A must for all Saxon enthusiasts
Disadvantages: Not to everyone's taste

...to Barnsley to see the band play at the town's Civic Hall and the rest as they say…is history. ~~Present Day~~ The line up has changed, since this album was produced and even though this has happened their music hasn't lost its edge. The band still tour and release albums and still have a hugely big fan base. ~~The Album~~ This album was produced in October 1981 and was solely dedicated to their fans and their style of dress, denim and leather. Saxon did a 46-date UK and European tour to go with this album and "Denim And Leather" proceeded to go silver in the UK and was well charted throughout Europe. ~~Inside~~ The Insert for this album is very basic. To the front we have to famous Saxon logo and the name of the album "Denim And Leather" and the famous Eagle underneath. Towards the back we have the track listing and how... Read review

Advantages: long lasting effects
Disadvantages: the smell is nasty

...I have been trying out a load of deodorants and body sprays lately to help combat the stench that whiffs from my armpits every time I sweat. My dad always buys Brut deodorant so I have to use it when I am feeling stingy and don't want to dip my hands in my pockets to buy my own. I know when i've gone clubbing and had to result to using this I have come back smelling just as fresh as what I did when I left which is pretty good considering I dance like a mad man and sweat buckets. So it definately is effective and works well with me. •What is Fabergé Brut? Fabergé Brut is a whole wide range of body care products ranging from aftershaves , perfumes to body sprays and anti perspirants. I was just looking at a site and didn't realise how many Brut products that were available. See you learn something new every day don't ya... Read review

Advantages: Definitive NWOBHM.
Disadvantages: Dull.

...If there ever was a record that tried just a little too hard to represent the early 80s heavy metal phenomenon, but was nowhere near good or interesting enough musically to live up to this promise, it has to be Saxon's quintunessential 'Denim and Leather.' The band may be entirely forgotten today - they're still touring to a cult following - but these Yorkshiremen were once one of the biggest names in the home-grown New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement (NWOBHM). On its release in 1981, this album hit #9 and the single reached number 12. This means that, at one time, people were more interested in listening to Saxon than Tony Capstick & the Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band. 'Denim and Leather,' while completely mediocre, is nevertheless regarded as a genre classic by many. It's certainly the last 'quite-good' album the band... Read review

Advantages: Strange and funny.
Disadvantages: Maybe too strange for some.

...“A humorist par excellence, he can make Woody Allen appear ham-tongued, Oscar Wilde a drag.” – Observer David Sedaris. Does that name ring a bell? Maybe you’ve heard of Amy Sedaris? Oh you have? Good! David Sedaris is the brother of the quite well-know actress/comedienne Amy Sedaris, and even though not very many people in Europe know who he is he is huge in the US. I first saw him on a segment on the Letterman show and I immediately fell for his rather odd and dry sense of humour. On the show he did a short reading from this particular book, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and after that I “ran” to my favourite online bookstore to place an order. David Sedaris (born 1956 in Binghampton, NY) is a talented humorist and for inspiration he often uses his family, his Greek heritage, his homosexuality and the problems... Read review

Advantages: great smelling
Disadvantages: isn't widely advertised

...of body sprays and other body care products. Firstly, consumers are becoming increasingly sophisticated due to the proliferation of new prestige fragrances and secondly, fragrances have become more accessible due to the increase in discounted brands. ~~~~~~~~~~ What is addiction ?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Addiction is a body spray brought to us by Fabergé who have a huge variety of different body care products available. It combines the sensual fragrance with long lasting durability and protection to keep you feeling fresh all day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Smell ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I prefer the smell of Spice Fire to be of more of a diviner , cleaner and fresher smell to that of Wild Ginger. <<< sprays some onto arm >>> Ahhhh !! This smell is unique and is absolute gorgeous! It has a distinct clean and fresh... Read review

Advantages: Deathpunk
Disadvantages: Just before Denim

...Way back in 1994 when this album was released, I was totally immersed in punk rock and spent far too much time visiting dodgy bars to watch smelly people play nasty music that no one else was going to hear about. I still do this it is strangely fulfilling........ But back in 1994 I had never heard of Turbonegro or as they were calling themselves at this time Stierkampf........ Fast forward to1997 the year I sold my soul to denim, everyone I knew was trawling e-bay for elusive bits of plastic released by Turbonegro, a friend of mine got the original copy of this album with the original artwork which was totally twisted...... Then Bitzcore records in Germany announced that they would be putting this baby out........... "Too Good To Be True, I Discovered Glue" *********************************** Never is Forever was their second... Read review

Advantages: A lasting wiff, that wont make you sick
Disadvantages: none to be found really

...I have to say for me in the wiff catagory, Brut has to be the very best. I live around this smell, well as half the household use it, it would be hard not to smell it. It's not the most fanciable deodorants to look at face on, it comes in a green tin with Brut printed on the front. I love the smell i think its very distinctive and lasts for ages, not like todays modern perfumes or deodorants that you spray on and the smell is gone. I dont find it expensive in price I pay £1.89 for a tin of Brut deodorant for my partner, and think its worth every penny. Its made by Faberge' who are based in London you will find this printed on all Brut products the address and telephone number for if you have questions or comments its as follows. Faberge direct parfums Faberge freepost,Admail 1000 London SW1A 2XX They also have... Read review
