kandlekrazy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Anyone remember the name of a sweet musk that came in a 1 oz or 1/2 oz brown bottle and had a plastic applicator type cap (like merthiolate does) that was very popular in the late 60's and early 70's? I can usually remember the old stuff, just not what I ate for breakfast...need to dupe this scent if possible for a class reunion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 is it by chance patchouli ??? a very deep musk smell ?No, never liked patchouli. This was a sweet musk and light in scent, maybe even vanilla musk (but not called vanilla musk). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debscent Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Coty made musks back in the 70's into the 80s. I loved Coty Night Musk. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 I emailed Coty to see if it was theirs. Probably the 20 year old that reads the email will just laugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwc Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 The very best perfume I ever had was a musk that I got for graduation in ....sigh....1974. (be kind) It had such a heavy, sweet smell...I loved it! I still have the bottle, but I threw away the box and I have no idea what the name of the musk is. I'd pay good money to find this same perfume now.

chevcher Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Oh my, now you're talking . I loved all of those scents. I still have my old bottles (pack rat). There was another one called Biddles oil of musk,it had a cork top and the whole thing was dipped in wax (sealed). you had to pull the little wire around the cork to open it-very cool. wearing those scents was considered a rite of passage back then, once I hit 6th grade, no more Sweet Honesty for me BWC, I will check into your bottle and see if I can find the name of your mystery perfume for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your bottle looks familiar, I'll think about it also and see what we can come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwc Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thanks, I'd love to know what it was. I would even send it out to be duped, but there is not enough left in the bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
