But if I had the choice, I'd much rather have a can of naphtha. I have uses for it.

Wonder if it is still around?

(9,909 posts)a couple years ago and if you smell it you will be right back in your Charlie phase, but then you realize you can't go around smelling like the '70's. There's something about that perfume that is unbelievably compelling. I actually thought of buying a bottle to just smell in the privacy of my room.

(25,813 posts)The claim was that it was a pheromone that made you irresistible.
Everyone wore it, but it didn't smell very good. No matter how much I wore, I just never developed "animal magnetism".
I also had patchouli phase.

Although it would remind me of my uncle. He used it and didn't overdo it. My grandfather used English Leather, also only to the degree that it was enjoyable.

(24,399 posts)Hated the smell and never used it, but family members would peek a look at my dresser and believe I liked it, so it became the birthday/Xmas etc present of choice/ease. Once I had amassed 4 bottles of the crap I decided it was time to trash the lot and let the family know that my taste had changed.
