Well, when this first came out - when the world was only available in black and white, this was THE perfume to have - at least it was where I came from. It is more likely to have been as a result of what at the time was an unusual shaped opaque white bottle. It's an Yves Saint Lauent brand, dating from the eighties, I think.

It isn't a very classy smell - there's nothing at all subtle about this, but it does make you pong all night and overpowers almost all other smells, save for soiled underwear and stale sweat - 2 smells that we could all do without smelling. I confess I still wear it from time to time - does that make me a bad person - or just a sad person?

To me, it's a very girly and effeminate smell - very distinctive though. If you happen to have a bit of an unpleasant natural whiff, then this would be a good perfume with which to mask the smell. It will overpower most other smells, including bleach and disinfectant. I don't think there's any middle ground with this one - you either like it or loathe it.

You get a good volume of smell for your money, but it has now been overtaken by almost all subsequent perfumes. I suppose when it first came out, it would have been competing with Henry Cooper with his Splash it on all Over ads for the more established brand, Brut (I've still got a bottle of that somewhere too and although my wife hates it, I do still wear it to annoy her sometimes!)

By now you will have guessed that I am over 25. For the most part, perfume is for the younger fraternity. Those of us who are comfortable in our own skin have the confidence to 'go commando' when it comes to perfume. Just stay clean and use a decent neutral deodorant and that's all you need really.

And girls - don't spend loads of money on perfume. Believe me, most men don't really appreciate strong smelling perfumes - we like to smell the real woman, provided you are clean. All these strong pongs interfere with our pheromones!
