I was probably in kindergarten at the time.

Or was it the far superior English Leather Lime? My brother wore ELL. Whenever I smell something similar to that fragrance, I think of him.

Back in the day I did briefly use Grey Flannel, but that was it for me.

I remember wearing Grey Flannel == again in high school -- someone mentioned it smelled like a 'French whorehouse' -- ha!

English Leather Lime came out in 1966. That's around the time my brother started wearing it, in college. Did you start wearing English Leather when it first came out, in 1949?
