I think it was mostly the frat' boys back in the 80s at LSU.


Yeah, probably the gay ones.

Seems almost everybody wearing Obsession back in the day was already out of the closet but some of those fraternity lads were still locked in the closet. Now it is all the rage to be gay, but back then not so much.

I still have my grandfather's bottle of it from when he died. Over 20 years now.

Just got an opening bid of $50 on the English Leather.

Any guesses how high it will go?

The last one sold for $150, but it was a 16 fl oz, but it didn’t have the cellophane on the outside.

The cologne does not have a UPC code on it. They started putting UPC codes on products in 1974. I don’t know if this is older than 1974 or EL didn’t put them on their packages for quite some time later.

I never liked the smell of English Leather. If I got EL as a present, I would just pretend that I liked it.
