Great info, thanksPopped in M&S today for lunch and ended up browsing the smelly department. Some good, some awful but all are relatively inexpensive... I left with a bottle of Harvard aftershave and a bottle of Aqua shower gel. After some digging online it appears all M&S scents are "inspired" by known popular scents available from other (more expensive) scent houses. Here's what i've found so far:
Autograph Homme = Paco Rabanne - One Million
Autograph Homme Noir = Giorgio Armani - Code Ultimate
Autograph Intense = Hugo Boss - Boss Soul
Autograph Sport = Chanel - Allure Homme Sport
Harvard = Dior - Eau Sauvage
Aqua = Issey Miyake - L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme
Collezione - Rochas Man
Collezione Nero - ???
Could be worth going for a sniff if you're after an inexpensive alternative
Iris? I see no mention of Isis on M&S... I guess some of the oldies there could be radicalised?Collezione Classic is very nice, I quite enjoy it when I use it.
If you don't mind the name, Isis looks a nice scent from the description. Soon to be renamed for obvious reasons...
EDIT
Isis seems to already be rebranded as Aqua
It was on there earlier this month, it was selling for £6 for 100ml, they must have pulled it for the Aqua rebrand.Iris? I see no mention of Isis on M&S... I guess some of the oldies there could be radicalised?
It has to be said, it's surprising it even got to shelves! :O
That's a great story about the magazines, a great find. It's a shame about the Euthymol tooth paste though..... They changed it and it's not the same as it was! :-( used to be my go to tooth paste.I think Harvard is a wonderful scent, I also have the Green and Dark Red Woodspice. The green woodspice reminds me Polo sport, The other Woodspice is a warmish scent matching the name as its woody and spicy. Other good thing about M&S aftershaves the scents lasts quite long.
Another off topic note for isis: In a house clearance skip, I found two magazines in good condition, one from 1932 the other one from 1933! Magazines called The Isis and apparently it's from Oxford or Cambridge University, the advertisements are so cool and amazing: Riley Cars and 'Parke-Davis' Shaving cream: Shave with Parke-Davies Shaving cream and enjoy comfort, and there is a coupon for a 7 days free sample tube: Use it for one week and you will always shave thus! Made in England by the makers of Euthymol tooth paste.
The magazines and the advertisements are great, the language is used different as well, I can't post pictures because I can't adjust the size of the files as it always too big.That's a great story about the magazines, a great find.

Yea, the packaging is still cool but it doesn't taste the same, a shame because it was the best tasting tooth paste ever! It's a pity you can't resize some of the adds in those mags, would have been cool to see.The magazines and the advertisements are great, the language is used different as well, I can't post pictures because I can't adjust the size of the files as it always too big.
It is a different tooth paste, I haven't used the old one, I bet it was better. At least the tube and packaging is cool and oldschool.
