GOOD ONE!!!! Lets see, being from Brooklyn, you had to have cologne. I wore Piere Cardan(however you spell it). Then later I wore petrule oil and smelled like dirt.
Oh, au savage like bruiser. Great smell.

And the smell that brings me back was one a g

Hee hee, this is a great question, especially because sense is the smell most linked to memory: "Smells are surer than sights and sounds to make the heartstrings crack."

During my prime New Wave years, I wore KL by Karl Lagerfeld, mostly because th

The only perfume I could handle was "POISON"--VERY 80's---overdone, implying shoulder pads and power suits.

Still don't do perfume, though I found a bottle of knockoff POISON a year or two ago--brought the 80's right back!

I'm surprised this stuff is still out there. I wore this until the late 1980's.
