I have stumbled across this online and it's a real blast from the past. I always liked it but was that because I was young and knew no better or is it really lovely as I remember back in the 1980's?

Am I the only old fogey here?

I don't remember it, but my Dad recently got some at a bargain price online. I love where it says "Highly Concentrated" on the bottle like a warning!
We couldn't actually believe it was a real fragrance. When was it popular?

I first came across it when I was in Italy for a while and a French girl I worked with used to wear it - hence my thinking it must be chic!

I then came across it again on a random bloke in about 1987. I recognised it and actually asked him what aftershave he was wearing and he confirmed it. I thought it was really nice and unusual...

What did you think of it Hetaera? Apart from the public health warning! That's funny.

It's actually pretty nice, considering the warning! Very woody, a bit spicy and seems to last a while. If you can get it for the right price I'm sure it is worth it for the nostalgia alone.

That's encouraging Smile I was going to buy some for DP's birthday but thought the bottle looks a bit Hmm - It will need to be presented with an explanation because he'll wonder, what on earth... Not to mention its discounted price tag!
