Is old cologne still okay to use?
My Dad saidthe other day that he used to wear a colgne called Nexus (made by Avon) and that it was his favourite and smelled gorgeous but it was long ago discontinued and I thought it might be a really nice present to hunt down and buy him some. I have managed to find some orginal bottles on the internet, ebay etc, but now I am wondering if it will still be okay to wear as I think most of them are being sold as collectors items because of the old novelty bottles it came in.
I dont want to poison my Dad with some toxic cologne or waste my money when there is no chance it will smell very nice.
So would it still be okay to use now?
Thank you :)

It won't hurt... I've tried Old Spice before that was about 20 years old haha.
Be careful though... if they are sold as vintage and they are in bottles where you open the lid rather than spray it on they could have just been refilled with water (to be used as display).
Also sometimes the smell starts to change if the liquid has been exposed to a lot or air or humidity in a bathroom.

Hiya I work for AVON myself, instead of hunting down the original product how do you not take him out one day to a perfume shop n let him smell a few different colgnes? see if he likes something similar? or even get your hands on an avon book they have scented pages so you might find something nicer that he might like better? Its a real bummer when avon discontinues there products especially there popular ones. good luck!!
