UK Brut vs. USA

I like Splash-On which is supposedly the heir of the weaker 33 but find the overall juice stronger than the current pure aftershave. I also havea. bottle of the Special Reserve which is allegedly (like) the American blend.

The US plastic bottle marked Aftershave is IMO stronger in scent than the US Splash On in his video. That said, I just ordered the newest version of Brut Special Reserve Spray in the new square bottle by the most recent owner of the name for this hemisphere. Some say it's the best one in decades. We shall see.....

New square bottle? To the google! Oh, yes ...

I'm sure, you've seen this before from Paul H, I've noticed the bottle have changed.

The Indian EDT offering on eBay supposedly faberge is very good. I find all the newer formulations post faberge weak, although haven’t tried the US version. Apparently the Aussie formulation is closest to the original, @SpeedyPC might be about to shed some light on that one….

Sorry.... I can't help and share further details about Brut, because, I can't compare the American, British and Aussie Brut side by side.

So here's the link and this is all we've got in Australia.

Aussie Brut review by a hippie. He does however say that the Aussie version is weaker than the Unilever Euro Brut EdT, the latter which I have and is feeble IMO. Ergo we can deduce the heirarchy.

Ergo is an underused word

I received & sprayed this on just now and to be frank I am let down. It smells IMO just like the US aftershave version, which is not a bad thing, just that there is no real Old School sillage.

Noted.

Hmmm ... "no Old School sillage" seems to be a thing nowadays and it's not some misty-eyed notion of times gone by. Vintage, simply had more balls.

Old School is DEAD, we’re all in the future 25 years ahead of the millenium, and they still don’t understand about old school style.

It is indeed! Thankfully, there's the second-hand market ... one or two good choices and all is well with the world again. I'm currently using a Paco Rabanne Pour Homme aftershave from a couple of decades ago and it has more projection and sillage than the modern EDT. Gorgeous juice!
