Tai Winds

I am a female who loves vintage Avon (I also sell Avon on the side). I bought a bottle of this today because I collect vintage Avon bottles (I have a few). I wasn't expecting much but I was actually pleasantly surprised by Thai Winds! I bought the bottle shaped like an old automobile in an antique shop. I just wanted the bottle but not necessarily the juice inside. Some older perfumes still smell good and some don't. But this fragrance still smells good! Maybe not good enough for anyone to wear, but at least it gives me a good idea of what it smelled like back in its day. I know the bottle must be from the 1970s. And I KNOW I have smelled this before on a male family member when I was very young. It's very pretty and rather soft but still masculine. I think it's more of a skin scent because not very strong. Someone else commented that this kind of fragrance is outdated but I wouldn't know. I guess it is. I wish Avon would bring this one back!

If it resembles anything it definitely resembles Brut, but it is simpler, more airy, and less potentially cloying. And believe it or not, the musk isn't as heavy as you might expect from the early 1970s. No sharp edges yet indisputably masculine. All that to say, it's more year-round wearable than Brut. I would absolutely wear this anywhere not requiring a tuxedo, with pleasure and without a second thought. (aftershave strength from the silver "No Cause For Alarm" bottle shaped like an alarm clock)

I’ve got a.... bust, of this fragrance, after shave concentration and it’s of Ben Franklin. What more is there to say? Murica!

This smells like Faberge Brut.

Very similar to Wild Country and their other 60s men’s musk-centered aftershaves — all musky powdery barbershop fougere. This one is differentiated by the addition of woody spices and sappy green notes. The longevity is also slightly better for me than WC. Worth checking out if you’re into these kinds of vintages :-)
