    It takes a special kind of man to wear Brut. It is the colgne of writers, poets, and renaissance men of all kinds. What kind of man are you? Are you a Brut man?

    Brut is a range of perfumed grooming products which now include aftershave balms and deodorant, designed for men, first introduced by Faberge in 1964. Packaged in the classic green glass bottle and silver-coloured medallion, it was viewed as a quality product.1

    In 1968 a budget range was marketed as Brut 33 because it contained 33% of the fragrance of the original product2 and was packaged in cheaper plastic bottles. This was described as a "lighter fragrance"1. Faberge was taken over by Unilever in 19781, and transferred to the Ponds division in 19892. There the whole Brut 33 range took over the name Brut2. The Faberge version became "Brut Classic by Faberge" and retained its distinctive packaging2. In 2003, the brand was purchased by Idelle Labs, a division of Helen of Troy Limited 1.

    The star of the 1970s United Kingdom advertising campaign was boxer Henry Cooper who used the slogan "splash it all over". Kevin Keegan also appeared in this campaign in 1976.

    The footballer Paul Gascoigne also starred in an advertising campaign. Domestic violence allegations by his wife led to negative publicity which reflected badly on the Brut brand as the ironic reference to Brut / Gascoigne being a "brute" followed.



    So, do you Brut?

    I never thought about how they make cologne. However, I am now imagining thousands of racoons tied down and these robots with little hands and PlayRacoon magazines...

    Unfortunatelly the cosmetic industry tests their products on animals with the exception of Body Shop and O Boticário. I can imagine using animals for all the other products like lipstick, roll-on deodorants, etc. How is it for colognes or perfumes? Do you mean the fragance or the rest of the composition?

    I just know some people on buses or subway really smell, especially in hot days. At least they could use a deo roll-on....
