Anyone know of a site where I can browse old aftershaves, specifically the bottles?

Trying to remember a fragrance I used to wear when I was a spotty teenager, I can picture the bottle in my mind, but can't for the life of me remember what it was called or who made it?

I think it was a fairly obscure one, but I know I'd recognise the bottle if I saw it again.

Bottle was round, a bit pear shaped, and the glass was frosted, but had a really nice smooth matte finish to it, I think it had a purple top???

This would be around 1999/2000 when I first had a bottle of it.

No, I had Joop as well, you can see how cool I was!

The bottle was white/frosted rather than a purple bottle like Joop. It was just the top that was maroon/purple.

I had Issey Miyake, JPG, Paul Smith, D&G, YSL M7 in my collection at the time.

I think this could've been a cheap/obscure one not one of the really popular ones, bugging me.

What end of the spectrum are we looking at?

Old Spice or Tabac spring to mind.

No idea on the OPs bottle, however browsing through some vintage scents I came across the classic Versace Blue Jeans - this had been erased from my memory but at £16 a bottle I had to order it lol!

It was just the Fragrance Shop. Sadly Green Jeans is silly rare and expensive (I’ve only seen it in 75ml bottles for c.£100)

Do you use 'aftershave' as a catch all term for any fragrance (EDT/EDP etc?) If so, why wouldn't you?

Yes I don’t leave the house without.

Let me guess, you only bathe once a week with swarfega and buy all your clothes from Asda.

It's none of those suggested sorry.

Really bugging me now.

Maybe the top was grey/silver, but the bottle was definitely spherical and pear shaped, and a frosted smooth glass.

I'm trying to think where I would've bought it from to trigger a memory, but I'm drawing up blanks, maybe my subliminal conscious will work on it over the next few days and pop up with something, I'll update if I do remember it, and will keep searching online.

Well, this bit would suggest Kuros!
