Checking out a book at the walking library.
Obviously pre-dated the “Bookmobile” that visited at my home town while I grew up.
My Granddad used to have that stuff in his closet, but I think he used 'Lectric Shave with his daily shave. I can't put a smell to Hai Karate, but I will never forget his pipe tobacco!
I remember the commercials with guys fighting off women after slathering it on.
I remember choking from the stench.
I remember my father getting a bottle of that for Christmas in the late sixties, I don't remember him ever wearing it. He usually wore "Old Spice" and on occasion "English Leather". I feel confident that I would recognize either if I came across it to this day. I seem to remember that a bottle of English Leather came in a small wooden case.

My mother wore "Chanel #5", and again, I'm sure that I would recognize it.

It sat on the shelf in my bedroom, and my brother and I used to listen to ballgames and "Radio Mystery Theater" on it. Seeing the picture you posted was like smelling chlorine and immediately being transported to the swimming pool where I learned to swim as a kid.
I know how that is, and I'm happy that I could help.
