Nino Cerruti Pour Homme - if I have to pick a masculine jasmine, this'll be my first choice.

I enjoy the really bad ones just as much as the good ones. Maybe even more.

The baddest of them all has to be the one for Brut deodorant that reads "you stay dry while she gets wet".

Holy mackerel, are you kidding?!? I've never seen that, and if you have photographic evidence, bring it on!

Rochas Moustache,

I love the old ones with the Corrugated Cardboard Man. I think they even gave stores a standup verison of him that they displayed on counters. Such a bizarre image to use as your brand mascot.

The infamous Brut Y2K “Inside every man is a guy” campaign. Not an auspicious way to enter the 21st century, though perhaps a fitting farewell to the 20th.

Just... wow. Somehow I mercifully missed that entire campaign. Maybe I was busy staying drunk in 2000.

Brut launched in the mid-1960s with the tagline, “If you have any doubts about yourself, try something else.” Regardless of ownership, the brand has always used machismo marketing. It must work with its base.

What always struck me about Brute is how at odds the scent is with the campaign. At least to my nose. I wore some from my old Fabergé glass bottle going out on Friday. To me, it's a dry, camphoracious floral.

The days when companies could show a little humour in their advertising campaigns....
The last 10 years have unfortunately sucked many individuals sense of humour dry.

Brings to mind an old joke...


What do you do if your girlfriend starts smoking?



Slow down. And possibly use lubricant.




(Alternatively just use the Brut 😋)

If you use vintage Brut, it might be the priciest lubricant

LMAO
Disclaimer - Definitely not suggesting to use directly as lubricant and
“Splash it all over”

Imagine the mess.

No, it's Luciano "you're gonna need a bigger proscenium" Pavarotti.

I’ve always found these Arpege ads targeted toward men very “Mad Men” -esque. Just appalling copy. It’s no wonder you can still find gallons of the old stuff, unopened, on fleabay. “Promise her anything…” but give her something she never wanted to make up for your being an ass.
