Are you kidding? In our house we used to fight over the bottle. One year for xmas my dad gave us all our own and that settled that.

Why do I remember thier being a small "crystal' stone on the top of the Hai Karate cap? Or was that some other crappy cologne?

In high school, we wore two things:

English Leather and Jade East (remember that?)

Before college, we switched to:

Canoe.

In the late 70s, I started with Lagerfeld, still a great scent, if a strong one and then was given something called "Habit Rouge," which is the male Shalimar. Avoid it, unless you want to smell like a Turkish hustler. It'll make you lose your KFC.

The things that hit in the 1990s -- I call them Subway Scents, because I was blasted with them every day on the Number One Train in NY -- all smell like a ladies night nightmare.

I have stopped cologne -- in a man d'un age certain it's creepy -- but do like something called "4 Voleurs" from L'Occitane. If you find the spray overpowering (understandably), buy the bath gel. It's a terrific, subtle fragerence that lingers just enough.

"Before college, we switched to:

Oh my god,I'd forgotten about Canoe. Did you pronounce it canoe...like the boat, or Can-oh-eh. That was a source of great disagreement during my high school years. I always went for plain ole Canoe. Can-oh-eh, seemed just a bit pretentious. I never really found out which was correct. And now...I'm too old to care.

Nothing in the '70s. I was too young.

Grey Flannel in the early '80s. Then Polo.

In the '90s it was Herrera and Gendarme.

Now? Nothing. Most colognes make my eyes water. I'm not a big fan.

But back in the day ... God, I musta stank.

I wore Canoe in high school. I pronounced it kuh-NO. But I have no idea if that's correct. I may have picked that pronunciation up from some moron behind the cologne counter at JC Pennior.

Don't you remember the Ads? "Canoe Canoe?" (almost sounded like Can you canoe?") As I recall that was all they said. A sexy model would look at the camera and ask "Canoe Canoe?"

it's pronounced Ka-new, just as the TV ads pronounced.
I had forgotten Grey Flannel...loved that stuff.

I only discovered Gendarme maybe 5 years ago.....and will admit to still using the moistere balm after I shave.....mainly as it's such a light scent.
I had no idea it had been around since (I found out) the 80's

Nope...I didn't even remember wearing the cologne until Auggie mentioned it.

Why are there so many cologne TV commercials on youtube?

I'm afraid to ask about the "training wheels" and the Old Spice bottles.

When I was in HS, all the guys wore Polo.

When I was in college, my boyfriend's roomate was obsessed with Drakar Noir. Is that what it was called? Anyway, he doused himself in it. It was nauseating.

they all are nauseating

Gah, I used to smell CK1 in the late 90s and think GAY CLUB! It was that way with pretty much any men's scents. Remember Drakkar?

Anyone know of a place online that I can check out these commercials? A friend told me about them and I'd like to see them for myself.

Thanks.
