Avon's lime is also among the best. It smells the most natural, and lasts the longest of the limes I've tried.Thanks that makes 2 full and 1 1/4 that was 1/2 full when I got it. Now I feel like I have enough to start using it more often.
Vintage Avon find
- Thread starter HoosierTrooper
- Start date
Just yesterday I got a recent eBay purchase in the mail, an Avon Tai Winds AS Cologne combo that looks like a pair of binoculars. 4 oz. of each. $8.00 and free shipping. Very satisfied. My wife on the other hand would rather I not spend so "much" on my new hobby, lol!
I just passed that one up at an antique store last weekend. Kinda wish I'd snagged it, but I really don't need any more, lol.
Having never seen one before I was quick to grab up the one I found, especially being NOS and still wrapped. I must say, Tai Winds is an amazing scent, and there's pretty well no burny after shave bite to it. Very nice!
TW is one of my favorites. It's Avon's version of Hai Karate.
Yes, from what I've read of your comments my wife MIGHT think that you have a bigger problem than I....
You can always use me as the, "See, I don't have as much as that guy!"
*sigh* After my last purchase of Avon stuff, if I even begin to get near a part of an Antique store that has something that even looks like an Avon decanter, I get the deathstare from the wife. One thing nice though, is there is so much now that if I do find something cool and it accidently comes home with me, it can go into the hoar... err 'collection' and never be noticed!
"See I don't have as much as that guy!" Will last as an excuse for me for a couple more bottles!

Will it be a 'problem' after that?

Nice find! I like the vehicle decanters that can stand on end (a few cannot).
Avon made over 300 different decanters. Once you get an eye for the different styles of decanters, you'll start seeing these things everywhere.
Brisk Spice.... that's liquid gold right there!
Yea, I splashed a little on my wrist and hit a few more garage sales. I didn't find anything else, but did enjoy sniffing it. Can't wait for tomorrow morning to really splash some on.
Great find!
Wow! Brisk Spice!! That is a nice find right there! Congrats!
I've got an identical bottle on my vanity, great stuff!I stopped at a garage sale today. They had a couple of different bottles marked at $7-10 each, but I found this one sitting on a different table for 25 cents.
I've got some Avon stuff that's not what I would consider old. Should I do a PIF? Going to bed now, kinda restless as I have a job review tomorrow morning. Remind me to get this started, and maybe one of you guys could help me learn more about doing a PIF, as I never have done one before. Thanks for the camaraderie ,
What stuff do you have? Check the PIF link in my signature for more info.
