Old School Scent Recommendations

[Mike Smart]

Alright boys is there any soaps out there with similar scents to say Hai Karate, Old Spice,
Brut or any others.
iv recently bought
OSP = Old Gold &
PAA = Cold Spices
both apparently similar to Old Spice.
Probably nothing like it but there you go.
Paul H Films ( youtube ) reckons the PAA is very similar

any recommendations would be good

P&B - Right Handed Giant - Bruit splash clone soap. Limited edition.


Paul.

The Pinaud hard soap is candidly close to Hi-Karate.

Extro's The End is supposed to be a Brut clone. Barrister's Reserve Classic is a clone of Gillette Sun Up a 60s aftershave... I've not tried it myself but apparently Jack Dean shaving soap smells of Pashana (it's made by the same people.)

I have an Extro Cosmesi - The End soap sample and can confirm is a very good imitation of Brut scent

PAA's Lo Haiku is a dupe of Hai Karate. Wickham's Citrus Musk is close to 4711 (I'd love darron to make a soap smelling like Blenheim Bouquet). The scent of the Denim cream made by Coda in Switzerland is a very close match for the aftershave. I might be wrong, but I don't think any artisan has produced a soap smelling like Blue Stratos or Jovan Musk.

Right Handed Giant is lovely. The P&B Old Spice clone is called Night Witch. Are you interested in the Creed Green Irish Tweed type copies Mike?

Wickham's scent is far superior. Plus, Sharp Dressed Man irritated the hell out of my face.

You're a scholar and a gentleman. I'll take you up on that kind offer - I've been curious about Denim when I've seen it in the SOTD pics.
