Texas Phil Peeno #50923 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 WASHINGTON - Soon, you too, can smell like the U.S. Army.

Iron Pony Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hell I'd buy it just for the fact part of the proceeds go to our troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 "Patton" the cologne joins the ranks of the Coast Guard's "Riptide," the Air Force's "Stealth" and the Marines' "Devil Dog" fragrances. Okay, "Riptide" I get. Ocean breezes palm trees etc. I imagine "Stealth" you probably can't smell at all. "Patton" is just stupid. But that "Devil Dog" cologne invokes memories of an old bulldog. I wouldn't like to smell like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 a woodsy blend of lavender, citrus, coconut, cedar, sage, tonka bean, bergamot, lime, and the ad copy says it will "elicit feelings of majestic woodlands and endless horizons." Lavender? Coconut? Tonka bean???? OK, I can sort of buy lavender helping to "elicit feelings of majestic woodlands," even though "woodlands" fall between grassland and forest biomes, and I think one would be hard pressed to call them "majestic." But coconut and tonka beans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Why not cordite and napalm? Few things ring as many memories as the smell of gun powder that has been expended. That and the ringing in my ears. They didn't issue ear plugs in 1959. One round and I was done listening for the day. Good thing I could lip read what Sgt. Buxton was saying.

Subdeacon Joe Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 But that "Devil Dog" cologne invokes memories of an old bulldog. I wouldn't like to smell like that. Intense and brave, Devil Dog is a finely crafted fusion of sandalwood, cedar, and citric spices. Classic yet modern, the undeniable sophistication stands as a proud reminder of honor and tradition. and lime, agarwood, vanilla, cedar, mint accords, citrus, ozonic accord, orange, sugar, sandalwood NOTE: Accord: a perfume accord is a balanced blend of notes which lose their individual identity to create a completely new, unified odor impression.

But coconut and tonka beans? From a foxhole, woodlands can look majestic I suppose. I had to look up Tonka beans! Amazonian. Perhaps reminiscent of chasing Che through the jungle? Now when they come up with a fragrance derived from burning diesel fuel and poo, with a subtle hint of C-4 cooked Ham and Lima Beans, mud, and insect repellent....by God then they'll have something. Please don't splash it around me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Somehow if it isnt a mix of Brasso, Kiwi, gun oil, diesel smoke, with a heavy cast of burnt powder, it doesn't remind me of the army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 That convinces me that there is no reincarnation. If there were it's a dead certainty that Georgie and some of his lads would be tearing something up about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
