I guess I'll have to give this stuff a try. Always just kinda overlooked it.

[Michael]

Haven't used it since the '60s. Must be a reason... :signs113

[Mottern Man]

Its probably one of my most hated scents (sounds weird coming from me, does it not?).

[crackstar]

Brut? I like it, but I can't really say I love it!

[PottyDoctor]

BRUT...I love the scent....only wish it lasted longer. I often use the BRUT Aftershave Balm; it has shea butter and is one of my favorites....and the price is right on this classic!

[TraderJoe]

Brut? I like it, but I can't really say I love it!

Same here, but actually I liked it a lot more when it was ACTUALLY owned by Faberge (back when I was a youngin). Now it is owned by Helen of Troy, and it just ain't the same ::ban

Have they changed the recipe :confused:

Brut (cologne)

From Wikipedia

Brut is a range of perfumed grooming products which now include aftershave balms and deodorant, designed for men, first introduced by Fabergé (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faberg%C3%A9_%28cosmetics%29) in 1964. Packaged in the classic green glass bottle and silver-coloured medallion, it was viewed as a quality product.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brut_%28cologne%29#_note-brutworld)
In 1968 a budget range was marketed as Brut 33 because it contained 33% of the fragrance of the original product[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brut_%28cologne%29#_note-basenotes) and was packaged in cheaper plastic bottles. This was described as a "lighter fragrance".[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brut_%28cologne%29#_note-brutworld) Fabergé was taken over by Unilever (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unilever) in 1978,[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brut_%28cologne%29#_note-brutworld) and transferred to the Ponds division in 1989.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brut_%28cologne%29#_note-basenotes) There the whole Brut 33 range took over the name Brut.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brut_%28cologne%29#_note-basenotes) The Fabergé version became "Brut Classic by Fabergé" and retained its distinctive packaging.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brut_%28cologne%29#_note-basenotes) In 2003, the rights to the brand were purchased for some regions by Idelle Labs, a division of Helen of Troy Limited (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_of_Troy_Limited).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brut_%28cologne%29#_note-brutworld)

You know, I've seen quite a number of the "fragrances of my youth" mentioned lately. Brut, English Leather, Canoe, Tabac, 4711. The last two smell as I remember them - the others don't even come close!!! Not even shadows of the originals. Even nostalgia won't save these.

[TraderJoe]

Its a real shame; I'm just glad they haven't jack-hammered around with Aqua Velva. When that day comes, you'll see a truck backed up to my place unloading NOS AV bottles :D

[sparky5693]

There used to be a brut actif blue. I loved that one, unfortunately I haven't seen it in years.

[crackstar]

Bobby, I remember that one well. Daddy bought it for me in Florida, both the deo stick, which was great. That deo had a cooling effect on the underarms, that was delightful! He also bought me the cologne, which I must say I enjoyed....I don't know why the company yanked it....:confused: :confused:

[sparky5693]

Yup, there was a whole line of it. I just went through my last bottle about a month ago.

The stopped making it in 97 I believe, and unilever owns the formula, but brut is now onwed by helen of troy(in the united states). I guess it's possible it could show up as a new axe scent or something. :rolleyes:

[moviemaniac]

*cough cough* Never heard of it *cough cough*

[crackstar]

oy, Axe may be good stuff, but again, like so many of these body sprays, my skin always screams at me when I try them. :o :(

[sparky5693]

Agreed, axe is crap, but for this scent to come back, i might be tempted. I just read that is was derived from fruit peels, and not the actual fruit. Maybe that was why it seemed so unique. Don't get me wrong, this is not the complex notes we tend to discuss around here, it was just a scent that seemed "different"

[Kingpepper]

I don't remember ever using it.:think002

[rick]

Ya know....
I want to keep this thread alive because I am falling in love all over with this stuff.
cuppa points:
*Still smells the same to me today as I remember it smelling 20 years ago.
*also reminds me a lot of Knize Ten in that
1). it smells A LOT like it,
2). 1 spray / spritz is all I need and
3). the fragrance lasts and lasts. And if used abundantly can also be nauseating.

mamaBear just sent me a tub of her new soap for my BD (thanks Sue) and with that addition to my EdC and ASB this is giving my BayRum addiction a run for its money.
Yall better be buying Sues Brute soap, cause I want it to stay around a while. :D and if you do buy some and dont like it.....call me. I'll swap ya something for it !

I only have the splah on BRUT, so it definitely doesn't last all day; I will definitely have to pick up a bottle of the spray.

And...I had no idea Sue had a BRUT soap! Where have I been all my life? I gotta' get some of that! Thanks for the tip.

Ron:
I got the Brut EdC in the bottle
and decanted into an atomizer.
Havent got any of the after shave right now
but 1 spritz of the cologne lasts and lasts.
....MamaBears Brute soap is brand new. Tell a friend ;)

I just passed on a bottle of BRUT in the spray bottle this weekend at a cologne outlet in Pigeon Forge malls. Should have gotten it! However, I did pick up a bottle of CANOE cologne in the spray...great classic scent but not lots of staying power.

Have you seen that Brut has a new cologne out, Brut Revolution (also available as an aftershave)

Desc: Brut Revolution Cologne by Brut, A fresh, aromatic scent. It features fruity and green top notes as well as notes of aqueous wood mist, black pepper, patchouli, musk and moss.

Has anyone snorted them yet?

Go to the top of the page with the Floid Bottle and click on the Faberge link, which will take you to the page with the Original Brut bottle!

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to tell you where you can purchase any.

In a a HUGE (25 oz.) glass bottle:

Brut was the first deoderant I ever had. I think I was around 8-9. I also had a bottle of their cologne when I was around 12?? or so. I don't know if I could use the stuff now.

I was the same way, using it at a very young age.
I have come back to it (Briefly) a few times over the past few years.
This time, its here to stay.

It is fresh, sporty, manly, and refreshing.

Ats my boy !
Be careful with it, tho.
1 spritz only for me....very strong stuff.
I liken it to Knize ten and Polo Green (Classic)
Its so old, its NEW :D

[Mottern Man]

You guys are going to make me get a bottle and try to like it. Aren't you.

[TraderJoe]

You guys are going to make me get a bottle and try to like it. Aren't you.

You like Clubman.

The Brut, to my nose, is better than clubman (although I still like it).....AND it has menthol http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/whacky114.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

[Mottern Man]

I don't know last time I tried Brut, I did not like it at all.

[Sledge]

im going to have to pick up some brut again... but, last time i checked up at the store... brut had 3 different products on the shelf... a splash, a cologne, and an aftershave.... all 3 only had 1 difference... and that was only in the A/S.... the A/S had menthol in it... that was it... so, cologne, splash, and aftershave all made the same way? im having trouble believing that one... something isnt stated, or they are capitolizing on labels... which has got to be a crime somehow some way... buy 3 bottles labeled as different products, when you could have bought a 1 liter and called it a day lol

The difference is all in the Quantity/potency of fragrance component (Specifically, according to their webiste).........but I would imagine there are some differences in the concentrations of other key ingredients as well.

From "lightest" scent to "strongest" Brut product (according to brutworld.com)
Aftershave
Splash-On (face or body)
Cologne

Joe, question, I thought I read someplace that this was the typical strength progression for scented products? EDT was in there too or, am I off my Bentwood Rocker?

[TraderJoe]

Joe, question, I thought I read someplace that this was the typical strength progression for scented products? EDT was in there too or, am I off my Bentwood Rocker?

You're on the Rocker ;)

In General: Aftershave would be lightest, followed by EDC (eau de cologne - 2-5% aromatic compounds), followed by EDT (eau de toilette - 3-8% aromatic compound), and finally EDP (eau de parfum - between 10-30% aromatic compounds)

[Sledge]

i bought a bottle of the walgreens type (plastic bottle) brut, and i swear to god it does not smell like i remembered it as a kid... is this just because i got the aftershave instead of the cologne? or has the scent changed drastically across the board?

I thought they had changed the scent too when I bought the aftershave, but then I got the cologne and it was the same Brut goodness I remember from when I was a lil kid. Have been on a downward spiral since then. Got the Deodorant spray and now I'm wondering if I need the Splash-On :eek:

[rick]

Just add some Witch Hazel to the EdC, bro !
Instant AS :D

[Sledge]

you serious? only problem is the cologne would be too strong to use the same amount as the aftershave... plus, witch hazel doesnt cure the itching i get from shaving :(

[crackstar]

I just used a little Brut this morning after my shave. Good stuff, sometimes.

[Mottern Man]

you serious? only problem is the cologne would be too strong to use the same amount as the aftershave... plus, witch hazel doesnt cure the itching i get from shaving :(

I cut alot of aftershaves with Witch Hazel, Pinaud Bay Rum comes to mind.

Helps soothe more and lesses the blow of the alcohol.

[Sledge]

when you say cut, do you mean you mix the stuff in another bottle? or do you apply one then apply the other? if you mix, how do you do it?

[Mottern Man]

when you say cut, do you mean you mix the stuff in another bottle? or do you apply one then apply the other? if you mix, how do you do it?

Put a dab of WH in the hand, dab a AS in the had 50/50.

Rub hands togeather (make sure you hands have a little cold water on them), rub on face.

Enjoy ::

[Sledge]

cold water? you dilute your A/S?

[Mottern Man]

cold water? you dilute your A/S?

No, just have wet hands when you rub them togeather or the mixture will sink in you hands.

I learned something new today! :cool:

so just to make sure, i should try this with the aftershave and not the cologne, right?

Use colonge as an Aftershave is not a good idea.

Use an Aftershave as an Aftershave, makes sense right? :D

[Sledge]

well yeah, but i figured with the mixture of water and witch hazel, and considering the cologne recipe for brut isnt much different than the other products in the BRUT line, maybe it would work the same... but with a better scent lol i dunno... just threw it out there :)

The cologne is probabably, for simplicity's sake, just a more potent version of the aftershave..........

so if you have the Brut cologne, and put it on a wet face, with wet hands, diluted with witch hazel.......I don't see why it'd be a prob ;)

But, by at that point all that diluting will bring the scent down to the potency of the aftershave, so you're defeating the purpose :: :happy001 :confused:

[Woknblues]

Just to add my bit to this topic...

Brut is my first foray into scents. As I recall vividly, it was "Brut 33 after bath splash", and a push up bottle of deodorant, Was there a soap on a rope in the mix? I think so.... This was also the most readily available product from Brut in Northern California at the time, as far as I remember now. Small town, had a few department stores, though I was not buying my own product at the time, it was more of a continual gift from aunts, etc... (now I can see the hint they must have been trying to tell me, hahah) Please keep in mind, the time frame here is circa 1985-1989... From about 4rd grade to 8th grade!

[DavidSeattleWA]

BRUT...I love the scent....only wish it lasted longer. I often use the BRUT Aftershave Balm; it has shea butter and is one of my favorites....and the price is right on this classic!

I tried this a while back ... I've always been a fan of the Brut scent but I found the aftershave balm to be excessively heavy and greasy. I ended up tossing it :(

Was totally unimpressed with this stuff. I walked by it in the drugstore a while back and gave it a go. The scent is not reminiscent of Brut at all and smells totally synthetic - nothing unique or special or about it whatsoever. Kind of like the new Old Spice cologne that's out now .... BORING.

I don't hate it (kinda like it now).

It's a keeper. ::

make sure to get some of the Brut ASB.
Shea butter and other good stuff in it makes you feel good :D

[Baloosh]

I tried the Brut last time I was in the Supermarket (opened, sniffed). It's been said that Brut is a ringer scent-wise for the Erasmic cream, but to my weirdo nose, I don't get that. I guess it might be kinda sorta close, if I really try to force myself to think that, but otherwise I don't see (smell) it. :confused:
