Does kourosy mean the same thing as frumious?

OS Burley and Bounty are two overlooked scents that deserve a little more attention than they received the first time around. I say, instead of going for that vintage bottle of regular Shulton Old Spice, look a little harder for the Burley or Bounty (or both if they come in the giftset!)

i've wanted to try the lime. i'm curious as to how the old lime compares to the new lime.

I'll be sure to do that the next time I swing on down to the "regularly-full-of-vintage-old-spice-magic-antique store"

Where was that again?

Count yourself lucky if you ever see any of them--and get them if you do.

Viva L'ebay!

I know I often caution against the evils of unscrupulous sellers, but Ebay truly is a Godsend when it comes to procuring vintage scents.

As in frumious bandersnatch??

I used Old Spice Lime in the 80's and I loved it. Now a single bottle sells on the Bay for $75 or more. I guess that is what Penhaligons goes for now but it is hard to think of them in the same class.

If I only had that time machine!

Never pay that much for a bottle of Lime. It's good, but it's not gold. I purchased six bottles of different era Lime, Fresh Lime, and Wild Lime last month for a whopping total of twelve dollars.

I got a bottle if lime of the Bay a few months ago for less than twenty shipped. I lucked out. It was the older lime that (according to da man Clubman Rob) has less chance of degrading. This stuff was fine and a nice scent (similar to Royall Lime but a bit more complex). There is a seller now with a bottle of lime with a BIN price of something like $45 or $50. I won't pay that kind of money. There are too many great lime splashes out there for a lot less money that you can buy new and you won't risk getting ripped off.

True, the $75 I saw on da Bay was a Buy It Now price that was not being jumped on to say the least. But $50 is still too expensive for me, as you point out. I did like that lime aftershave, though.

Sorry for the bump but is there anything out there now the OS Burley compares to? Curious what it smells/smelled like.
