As a teenager Nevada was probably my second favourite Lynx scent behind Tempest (which I already own).
This smells great but fades very quickly on the skin; probably time hasn't been kind to those bright top notes.
The Pears shaving soap canister is empty but is in good condition for a metal one and was only a couple of quid plus postage.

Nevada was my go to. Don't think I ever did Tempest. Great stuff!

Over the last six months I've been gradually building up a collection of them and they've come to overpower my original shaving items display on top of the wardrobe.
As a kid in the 90s I had Tempest, Nevada and Oriental deodorants but never had any of the aftershaves till this year.
I've got Oriental only in shower gel form and I wouldn't risk using it.

This was my favourite scent at the time.
The aftershave seem to always be on a short run when the scents are first released.

I was too young to be shaving at the time! Oh so maybe the aftershaves were released to promote the deodorants?
I think the mid-to-late 1990s was when the focus changed to cheeky sexual marketing for teenagers and the scents became a bit sickly and cheaper smelling (for an already cheap item) and started to share the same heavy musk base.
Inca on my shelf is very sickly but I quite like it.

Oriental! That brings it flooding back...
Those shower gels were so good at the time. I don't think I'd be able to resist the Oriental shower gel if I had it. Pure gold

High water content and decades old preservatives are a risk I wouldn't take. But it does smell nice! Having opened the foil seal mine is only a dried up sample sadly. Oriental seems to be rare and expensive relative to most other vintage Lynx lines.Oriental! That brings it flooding back...

I was getting some gifts for others and thought I may as well since I’m here
This is strong stuff and not for the faint hearted, however this does everything you long for the cologne to achieve and more.
