My bottle is "Natural Spray Cologne" and it's 2 fl oz / 59 ML.<br /><br />And, Brian has pointed out to me that the listed ingredients have gotten longer with newer frags. The ingredient listed on my box are simply: SD Alcohol 39-C, fragrance. So I bet any bottle with only 2 ingredients listed would be the original/vintage.<br /Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164551758520564300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-14976566067626009842010-04-01T19:18:07.292-04:002010-04-01T19:18:07.292-04:00Another question!

Of course, I was not one of them. ;-) Had dropped in from Colorado in the 8th grade, and hadn't jumped on the preppie wagon quite yet. Levi's 501s, Lacoste crocodile logo polos, and duck shoes (?) were the style.

I purchased my 2 bottles off someone on Basenotes who had them identified as vintage. When I received and sniffed them they were for sure vintage. The bottles and boxes were a bit old, dusty and scuffed up...sorry to not be of more help.Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164551758520564300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-5352816813361781082010-03-31T23:49:21.154-04:002010-03-31T23:49:21.154-04:00Reading your post was just as if I was reading abo...Reading your post was just as if I was reading about myself!
