Jade East anyone?

[Deano]

I see an online vendor offers Jade East aftershave. Is it as good as I remember or has it too gone the way of so many watered down classics?

When I was a kid, my elementary school had bingo every Saturday night. Some smart guy took the school phone, laid the receiver on the table and filled it up with Jade East. Then he sent a note to the guy running bingo that he had a call. Moments later, that bingo chief burst back into the school cafeteria, the side of his head and his shoulder soaking wet, shouting "Who the %$&^% put Jade East in the &$*#&!! phone?" I can never think of Jade East without remembering that.

I haven't smelled it in a while, but I remember it being in the same neighborhood as Brut. Maybe ramped up a little more. It sells for $12 or $13 at K-Mart, so why not?

I've read the reviews on Amazon on the "Jade East" being offered and saw some mixed reviews, but still may try some one day. I loved the stuff along with British Sterling and English Leather when I was younger.

From what ive read the British Sterling is still as it was. I remember the commercial. "British Sterling, so fine a gift its sold in jewelry stores". :)

I getting a bottle of British Sterling come payday.

The last bottle of British Sterling I had, which was quite a while ago. seemed not up to what I had remembered wearing as late as graduate school. And I had this most recent bottle long before I got into this stuff enough to know about reformulations, etc.! I just knew it did not seem to smell the same or as good as what I used to wear. For all I know, BS has reformulated back!

Have not had any recent Jade East and am not sure I could accurately remember it from the 1960s! Decent jasmine, though, as I recall!

The BS still smells the same as I remember, just a bit tamer/weaker in the longevity department, used this last week as one of my Work Frags. This and Z-14 were my Dad's favorites, one of the reasons I keep them, the other is they just smell good (IMO).
