My vague memory of Pagan Man was that it came in a bottle shaped like a flint tool, so the reality is slightly disappointing.

Pleasingly, there is a modern fragrance, Neandertal, which delivers on that front. It costs a bracing 210 pounds for 90ml. In the old days, that would have bought a decent family cave and a mammoth supper for four with change left over for the bus home.
