Skin Bracer Mennen 1931

Mennen Skin Bracer
A typical drugstore aftershave of American origin.
It has been on the market for almost 100 years now - available in glass or plastic almost worldwide.
At first glance, the packaging makes one think more of mouthwash or antifreeze.
But appearance should not be the main criterion here.
Cap off and go!

Herbaceous, the skin tightener goes to work during the initial treatment.
Irritated skin needs to be calmed and cared for as quickly as possible.
Medicinal mint, a bit of lavender, sage, a hint of spicy coriander, and perhaps thyme. Everything is gently dabbed onto the wounds.
An authentically cool breeze, like entering a cold storage room, leaves the pores shock-frosted with joy and directly refreshed.

Immediately afterward, a fluffy sweet marshmallow flavor spreads.
Powder dusts off shiny baby bottoms.
A huge bubble, formed from an entire blister pack of bubble gum, bursts into the finest tuberose particles.
They transform into thunderclouds and discharge in woodruff-like coumarin showers.

A mixture that smells like the entire candy aisle of a US supermarket during the economic miracle.
Brightly colored advertisements flicker before my mind's eye.
Sammy Davis Jr. aka "The Candyman" chimes from his car, and towering vanilla soft-serve spirals drip into the cones.
I taste memories of toothpaste from the early 80s - my childhood.
Cavities are getting a beating, a talking beaver educates the viewer about dental hygiene, and if you brush properly, you can still bite powerfully tomorrow.
In the end, I fall into a fluffy XXL musk bed. The mattress is pore-deep clean and moss-based.

This aromatic fougère really refreshes in an extraordinarily pleasant way.
A mélange of Lancaster’s Eau de Toilette Concentrée and Davidoff’s Relax.
Paired with this aftershave-typical freshness kickstart, it is truly fine stuff.
