Just found an interesting item listed on eBay.

RE: Vintage Indiana Jones Cologne with original box.

Did a search here and only found a couple of references a while back, but there seemed to be some interest and few resources.

The seller has over 30, so hopefully there will be no bidding war! You can find them by a simple search under "Indiana Jones Perfume."

I have no idea how it smells, but it's a nice collectors item.

Like sweat?

probably smells of whiskey and sweat.

And dirt. Lots, and lots, of dirt.

I always thought that Indy smelled like a combination of Smoke, Whiskey, Sweat, Blood and mostly and ironically so; after shave (Old Spice).

Well, it depends. If you're after Tunisia Indy, he probably smelled like dysentery.

Bink, you crossed that line like 10 miles back

And not lightly, either!

Commercial voiceover by Marcus Brody: "Indy... It's like nothing you've ever smelled before."

I can see it now...A department store made of stone and brick...the perfume department resembles the grail room...a man walks up to the counter, picks up a bottle of cologne...*spritz* *spritz*....DUN DUN DuuHHHH.....he turns to a pile of skeletal ash...

The store clerk turns...

"He chose.....poorly..."

Turn camera to a shiny bottle of Indy Cologne...

"Jones Colognes....The heart and soul of adventure....."

Dontcha just love the hat illustration on the bottle?

Wow

Il profumo dell avventura?

Received the bottle today. The smell is unique, with a strong hint of cedar, bourbon, spicy, leather and old wood. (The previous scent guesses were quite close!) Not sure I would wear it. I cannot compare it to any other cologne. Hard to tell if the scent has changed from the original, but the bottles are likely 8+ years old. (?) The base is castor oil, making it a strong, long lasting scent. Regardless it's a cool collectors item and looks interesting on the "Indy" shelf.

A couple of us down at my fire department suggested we bottle the smell of a fire house. Sweat and smoke.

I cannot seem. to find the cologne. could someone point me in the right direction?
thanx!!!

Yes, I've heard of this before.

I told Chewie that I think that Indy would smell like a cross between aftershave, leather and sweat (which is not a bad thing as sweat contains pheromones which makes people attractive to the opposite sex).

You can find them for about $14.00 on eBay under a search of "Indiana Jones Perfume." The last time I checked, he had plenty, but we all know how that goes.

It looks like they have after shave and cologne on there. Interesting... I really want to know what this smells like. It can't be that good...

I was thinking it might smell like Bay Rum... which was pretty popular back in the day.
