I remember the name. Are they still making it? I hope the product you won isn't left over from thirty years ago. Old perfume smells . . . old.

I think I liked Tweed. I remember my stepmother wore Arpege, and when she married my dad (I was 11) I talked him into buying a large gift set of Evening in Paris for her birthday. Oy! The poor woman. I really thought it was a fine gift.

No, they are not still making it, and I'm not sure when they quit.

Yes, it is old, but I got some a while back, and though it may not have smelled exactly like new, it sure smelled enough like Tweed to be nostalgic to me. Maybe that is why GF said it smelled like aftershave to her....lol

Oh my...Evening in Paris for MIL who wore Arpege.

Oh yes, I remember Tweed, it was such a crisp fragrance. Lucky you and enjoy it for me too.

I'm a newbie and just wanted to say Hi too.

Hi Jampack/Jan and Welcome!

Tell us a bit about yourself.

Not long ago someone asked how old we all are...hint, hint. I'm guessing you might be near my age...56 at the moment, I think.

Not long ago someone asked that we all show a pic of where we sit at the Kitchen Table (most were desks)...hint hint.

That should bring you up to speed here.

I remember the name of Tweed, but I didn't try it. Congrats on finding some, so your nose can take a sentamental trip back in time. I used to buy a perfume called Xia-Xiang and so liked it, but alas, it was discontinued. A few years ago I recieved a catalog where you can buy some discontinued scents and I ordered 2 sets on Zia-Xiang. It is long gone and I haven't found one I like as well. Dottie

When I was a teenager, my favorite colognes were Tweed and Jean Nate.

Love's Baby Soft and Jean Nate were my favorites-I still wear Love's Baby Soft.

After posting about perfumes, above, lo and behold in the mail comes a catalog in the mail with oodles of diffrent perfumes and beauty products. Tweed is listed in there. These are new products, but the one I used to like isn't in tere.If any one wants to check this out their address is www.beautyboutique.com Dottie

Thank You Dotmom!size>

I had no idea it was manufactured yet anywhere. The name on the bottle looks just like my old Tweed bottle. I have bookmarked the page.

Woohoo!

Sue...all excited now

Google brought it up for sale at several places on line. Kind of pricey though as most good perfumes are.

Thanks again!

Sue, thanks so much for the welcome. Wish I was 56 again. I am 66 last Sept. Not possible! I've lurked for almost 10 years if that makes up for it. Mother of 2 very bright, intelligient daughters, no grandchildren. One lives in TX & other in Australia. Retired RN and Senior Case manager and sadly recently widowed. But I brought chocolate! Brownies, and my favorite special-filled chocolates from Germany! Sorry if I took over your thread, but looking forward to really getting to know y'all.

I've lurked for almost 10 years
Goodness, are you that shy or what?

Sorry if I took over your thread
No apology necessary. This is the KT and threads evolve into many different discussions oftentimes...just like sittin around a real kitchen table.

Thanks for finally posting. I'm glad Tweed finally brought you out of lurkdon.

Oh I was given a Gift set 30 years ago from my mum.havent even Opened it just get it out off my draw every so often and the is still the same.Makes me feel like a child.Love it

I remember it but I never wore it. My signature scents back in the 60s were Woodhue by Faberge and Stradivari by Prince Matchebelli.

You can still get Tweed and some others at the Vermont Country Store. Pretty pricey tho….. I loved the original Heaven Scent (Sent?) but it too was discontinued. I wonder if these that are still sold are freshly made or have been around, getting dusty, since the old days??? Might make a difference.

Tweed was the first 'grown up' Xmas present I recieved as a young teenager. It was from my older brother; that I still remember it is an indication of how cool a present I thought it was.

Vermont Country Store's scents aren't old. They've been selling Tweed, for example, for many years, along with many of the other oldie but goodies.

I was sitting at the computer and mommy's perfume passed by me here at home about a month ago. Oh, she has been gone since 1980 and I quietly took it in. It happened once before when I went into our favorite fabric store. I can't tell you how wonderful it felt to have her{?} around. The one thing I can't remember is the name of it. It would be something I would replace for her when gift ideas were tough.

I wore Tweed perfume in 1953 at my wedding.

I wore Tweed as a teen in the sixties along with Ambush Tabu and Wind song! I graduated to Shalimar in the seventies

I remember a big yellow plastic ball filled with powder and puff, by Faberge but can't remember any Faberge scents.

Tweed was my mother's favorite perfume. When i was in my teens, Ambush and Emeraude were my favorites. As an adult, i wore Halston. Then i got asthma, and can't be around any kind of perfume.

Was the big yellow ball something like...Kiku? I loved Max Factor's Golden Woods. Oh, and Shalimar and the not-so-subtle Jungle Gardenia.
