    Hi,
    I STILL wear 4711 cologne. It is one of my favorite scents. My other favorites are TOO damn EXPENSIVE to buy anymore.

    My late dad liked it too, but wouldn't wear it himself. I rarely wear any perfume at all, too many friends with allergies, but tend to go for the old school spice cabinet scents. Shalimar, Youth Dew, etc.

    BTW - I can see several people in here drooling over Mansons' pictures....

    Thanks

    The perfume itself is yellow in colour, oily and very, very strong.
    It is however - pleasant

    Do you know the name of the manufacturer, Makanudo? I does look significantly older.

    Hi Rory,
    I saw your post and thought I'd show you what I recently picked up at an Estate.
    I can date the Avon kitten back to 1977, the others I'm still looking into.
    I will be selling, but if there's anything here is of interest, let me know :joyful:

    Here is an romanian ad:

    https://www.olx.ro/oferta/vand-sticle-vintage-de-parfum-faun-2005-IDrGr8.html#

    and a google translation:
    "
    Do you still remember a Romanian perfume identical to the Faberge Gross 33? Of course, at Faun 2005 I mean. Now this brand is remembered with the image of these gorgeous bottles.
    Note: The price is for one piece."

    Hi Hemster - theres nothing for the girls here at the moment, but I suspect you can get a pretty good price for the bath oil. They go for $60-80.

    I have the strong sense that 2005 is a part of the name, but not an indicator of the year. The ad also lists it as vintage, and judging by the bottle and medallion, Im guessing 70s-80s. Its a very curious piece, actually.

    I'm not certain if you are wanting any particular bottles
    Or not but in case I have several Avon collection bottles from years ago.

    Hi sorry for the misunderstanding... Wasn't trying to push a sale.this was first forum posting I read. Had just found this site. I was just hoping to let you know that I had some bottles.hope I didn't cross a line. Mine are empty. I thought you were just wanting to collect the bottles.

    Most of them are alcohol-based so they won't hurt you, but the scents can change.
