Hai Karate fragrance. 1969 Advertisement. Hai Karate was a budget aftershave and cologne for men that was sold in the United States and the United Kingdom from the 1960s to the 1980s. It was reintroduced in the U.K., under official licence, in late 2014 and was reintroduced again in 2021.

Most karate students in the United States learn one of the most common Japanese styles or a direct derivative thereof.
The fragrance was originally developed by the Leeming division of Pfizer and launched in 1967 with the catchphrase "Be careful how you use it." Hai Karate was priced higher than Old Spice, Aqua Velva, and Mennen Skin Bracer, but lower than Jade East and English Leather. Other fragrances were soon introduced named Oriental Lime and Oriental Spice.
