I think most teenage lads in Merseyside during the 80s were given Brut Aftershave as a Birthday or Christmas present. I certainly got a bottle of the stuff one Christmas and it was the first aftershave I used when I initially started shaving back in the Spring of 1988.
It felt like a right of passage, no shave was complete without the burning sensation of Brut aftershave on your face afterwards. The scent of Brut seem to last forever and according to the fragrantica website it's top notes are Anise, Lavender, Basil, Begamot and Lemon; middle notes are Geranium, Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine; base notes are Oakmoss, Vetiver, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Vanilla and Sandalwood.
Brut will always remain a firm favourite aftershave of mine as it reminds me of my time in senior school and in particular those early days of shaving.
