How can one forget the aroma of this perfume if it’s my father’s favourite? Its shaving foam smell I like very much. It won’t be the finest perfume in the world, nor with the best trail or longevity, but I love it, it feels very warm to me. I’ll try to describe what it smells like in my father: in Old Spice I perceive much cinnamon, clove, nut, vanilla, tonka bean, anise, woods; it has a powdery side and slightly sweet. I think it’s a very oriental fragrance and openly unisex. I confess that many times I stole a bit from my father to use it when I went to sleep; it’s so warm it seems to embrace, it comforts me, I don’t know if because I associate it with my father, due to the fusion of its notes, or both things. I would love for an Old Spice perfume version to exist, as I would enjoy it, although I only know it in cologne. Still, it persists for at least two hours, which is a pity it’s so hard to find these days. I’ve tried to look for other male fragrances that follow Old Spice’s footsteps, I haven’t found any yet. I LOVE this fragrance, so in capital letters.
I used to use this old scent with my father alongside Puig vetiver. It’s an excellent aroma for its content and price. I know why I liked it: it has cinnamon, that warm aroma, and along with the other notes, it gives it something special.
I liked the previous review by Spartacus to highlight that Old Spice is the foreign equivalent of colognes like Varon Dandy. There it fulfils that role, but thanks to a fun marketing campaign (the black man holding the axe), they consolidated it again as a fixed product in supermarkets, usable by a lad of any age. This reminds me of the huge resemblance between Old Spice and many English pipe tobaccos. In England, Queen Victoria banned the use of artificial aromas in tobacco, hence the ‘soapy’ tobacco, aromatised à la anglaise, which always reminds me of this cologne. Relationship with Canoe: the truth is I don’t see a resemblance, beyond an atalc-like-vanilla tone, which in Canoe comes from the tonka bean. Canoe is a typical fern, and in my opinion, it resembles Brut more. As I’ve read, Old Spice began as a perfume for women that men liked and was astutely repositioned in the male market. Certainly, Old Spice is unique; I’ve only found one very affordable equivalent, a little-known gem: Paul Sebastian Fine Cologne (another anecdote: it’s the perfume used by Patrick Bateman in American Psycho; in the film he uses YSL pour Homme). It’s incredibly similar to Old Spice, but much more potent, as if it were on steroids.
There must be something in the water when it’s blessed. The first thing that surprises when using Old Spice is how well a fragrance created in 1938 has aged. The second is noting how that idea of ‘dad’s cologne’ is so different if we face it against similar European ones, much more astringent, dry, and unpleasant. This fragrance is friendly, tender, and absolutely unisex. And the best part, it is very wearable in 2017 because, having overcome the barrier of the years, it has become an excellent quality family eau de cologne, refreshing but creamy, clean but spicy, with delicious notes without losing its family essence. This is not a lemon, rosemary, and lavender water. Old Spice is an oriental perfume reduced to the minimum, stripped of its narcotic or seductive qualities in the femme fatale style. I am sure that in a blind tasting, most opinions would be positive; at no point do you smell anything out of place or outdated. If Old Spice were sold in a luxury bottle in the style of Jo Malone, it wouldn’t have the reputation of being cheap that it holds today. To not go around in circles: nutmeg, very perceptible clove, cinnamon, and vanilla are the most obvious notes, but I don’t feel them separately; they form a set that makes you think of cloves, a refined and spiced clove, warm but navigating over a cold base helped by the bottle, a white earthenware vessel with a design where nothing is missing or superfluous. When the blend settles, it becomes a pleasant fragrance, of being at home or in a quiet situation, completely unisex and very comfortable. It is simple, but has certain nuances. I’ve never tried Dana’s Canoe, but seeing it was created two years before Old Spice and with the fame the Spanish fragrance had, would it be risky to say this one is inspired by the other? Be that as it may, it is a cologne that more than one woman would get hooked on if they tried it. By the way, distribution in Spain is almost non-existent; I bought a bottle in a supermarket four years ago and since then I’ve seen it very little. I suppose having traditional houses like Puig, Álvarez Gómez, Myrurgia, Dana, Gal, or Parera has prompted that it wasn’t worth it for Shulton to land in Spain. Longevity and trail are moderate, although for ten euros it’s not worth the price of the 100 ml bottle. The ruin is minimal.
After more than 20 years, I’ve found one of my childhood favourite fragrances again. For an inexplicable reason, it hasn’t been seen again in some Latin American countries, including mine. Differences: now it is produced by Procter & Gamble, made in Canada. It’s no longer Splash and comes with a spray nozzle. I thought of a nostalgic reduction of the memory, but to my surprise, it is potent, rich in aroma, leaning towards oriental, like an Opium a bit more citrusy and dark, I think due to the jasmine, vanilla, tonka, musk, and ambergris. I think it’s excellent, a beautiful surprise: expecting something inferior and receiving a rich, good, and cheap product, on a bed of nostalgia.
Old Spice is a wonder of the past still present today. It has always been here, breathing life into those who have known how to appreciate this formula made with care and a universal common sense that brings us closer. It’s not just a nectar for nostalgics; it’s a lotion that embraces and perfumes the happy soul of the one who adores it. A cheap perfume with qualities that more expensive ones do not have; the comparison is similar to those humans who, having everything within reach, enjoy nothing, versus those who, having little, live for what they love. It is a cologne that underscores timeless values rather than fashion trends. It is the simplicity that doesn’t need expensive clothes, the ease and good humour in a coffee with friends, looking at oneself with confidence in the mirror and starting a Monday without outbursts. Old Spice is maintaining integrity when others think you are a night owl, and the inner peace of knowing oneself well.
Virginity, from the Latin ‘Virginitas’, alludes to purity or to one who has not had relations. Don’t worry, I’m going down the purity branch here. Just bought, I thought about writing a technical review, but, what does a cologne over 70 years old smell like? It smells like memories: waking up and seeing your father shave, following that ritual with devotion when you were small. It smells of continuing, when older, the same liturgy of the one you think is God, and seeing your mother comment ‘you smell good’. It’s seeing a white bottle like milk, without a sprayer, rubbing the cologne in your hands and patting your cheeks until they turn red. These are lost loved ones in the years, others who have arrived and filled that gap. They are scars on the body, the soul, and the face. But many years later, just putting on this lotion makes you a child again, remembering those wonderful days that will never return. And you are not sad, but happy, wishing you could go back and embrace your loved ones who are no longer there. This is what Old Spice achieves. Eternally grateful friend. See you in heaven, comrade. Greetings to all. What a philosophical ramble I’ve written.
I haven’t been so excited to buy a fragrance in a long time (my hands were sweating and I couldn’t stop smiling), especially knowing I already knew it and wanted to see if I could recognise its aroma. Smelling it felt like a jump back more than 30 years: the bottle was white glass without a spray nozzle, yet the perfume remains for anyone wishing to rediscover it as I have. To me, it opens with vanilla, nutmeg, soft cinnamon, and an unexpectedly masculine clove. After that, only the clove and vanilla remain, lasting until the end, presumably due to the blend with benzoin and tonka bean. The trail is moderate to low and lasts up to 10 hours on clothes. I don’t use much on my skin anymore as fragrances don’t last long. It was a pleasant companion this winter and, given the price (5 euros), I’m tempted to repurchase when it’s on offer.
Having looked at its composition and reviews, I’ve placed this cologne as more suitable for winter and as a secondary option for autumn. Since I also use the gel and deodorant from the same pack, I’m testing it. The scent is very good, but the trail is extremely soft and the longevity very scarce. I like it, but it seems so soft I wonder if it’s only for autumn or also for winter. If anyone can advise me…
With my grey hair and years upon my shoulders, this scent brings me nostalgia for the thirty-something man who shaved with rechargeable blades, foam, and those little barber brushes, while sipping a Winston and rinsing with water and his Old Spice. It was the 80s, what memories of my old self. Now I shave too, but with other foams and brands, as this one has been discontinued in Peru.
What a good experience trying it. Created in another century and still modern captivating and enveloping like a hug. It is cheap perfume with qualities that the expensive ones do not have pure truth. Smelling it and falling in love is quick: it is a cologne with great harmony sweet spiced and warm. An immortal aroma with an excellent quality-price ratio suitable for all regardless of age. A wonder worth the try.
Old Spice Classic: a timeless fragrance. Although born 80 years ago it remains current almost a century later and goes well for mature or young people. In Mexico its advertising says: ‘If your grandfather did not use it you would not exist’. It reminds me of the barbershops of the 80s and 90s that distinctive smell of shaving with menthol foam very masculine. Many use it as after shave but it has more: body creaminess it is warm spiced and lasts long. Try it; it is cheap (in Mexico the 125ml Eau de Cologne with atomiser costs about 160-200 pesos almost $10) if you do not like it you lose nothing. I recommend it.
Total nostalgia a fragrance that has aged perfectly and is a pleasure to use. For those from Mexico they have told me they still sell it at Coppel and in some independent perfumeries.
Before reviewing I clarify that in Argentina at least in recent years they do not import this cologne nor the aftershave; we only managed to get deodorants or Old Spice shampoos so I never heard of the classic fragrance. This was a blind purchase: I bought the cologne and the aftershave. Reading reviews and knowing other products of the brand I imagined a more timeless aroma suitable for all ages but I did not feel it so. I like this style but I do not think it fits teenagers today. The smell sounded to me very similar to Azzaro Pour Homme especially due to the star anise; I felt much anise giving that typical barber shop tone. I did not notice the citrus clearly but I did notice the cinnamon and nutmeg with a spicy touch. Conclusion: I like the perfume but I do not see it as very timeless which makes sense being from 1938.
For me Old Spice is the smell of the 70s and university life an era in Spain where there were very few options for men. As VARON DANDY says well it was the most representative icon with black and white ads. I knew it at university and whoever wore it had it as a treasure: it was the perfume of the handsome tall well-dressed boys with success with girls many of whom later married. Then buying it was difficult due to lack of supply. In the end I bought it at a very high price for the time and I recognise I did not like it much; perhaps it was not mine among so few options. It seemed very sweet to me and the skin was noticeable in little time. I never found it sophisticated elegant sexy or glamorous. Today it is seen on colour TV with a fun and somewhat strange spot. Without a doubt it is one of the few fragrances that survive so many years.
Review based on a late 80s bottle against the body deodorant (current version): This one until now has been the fragrance that has cost me the most work to obtain as perfumeries and chemists do not give me reason for this 80s version. My father is not a die-hard lover of fragrances but he has his favourites for years (Diavolo Agua Brava Mediterráneo Acqua di Gio Boss Bottled and Old Spice). Always faithful to the latter and Agua Brava since young he tells me he used bottle after bottle and when they discontinued this version (cologne) here it gave him tremendous grief. After years he decided to buy the body deodorant with slight displeasure stating it was no longer the same as those glorious years. Now I give him reason. I spent a day browsing an antique shop and among books crockery and old records I saw a well-preserved Old Spice box (to my surprise) that instantly brought back the memory of my father and of that version he loves so much. After hearing the story of that bottle (and I loved it) I took it for $30. The joy of seeing my father’s excited face like that of a small child was unique. I sprayed this version and the deodorant on my arms and here the great differences: 80’s Version: On my skin predominate cinnamon aldehydes carnation and anise (opening). It made me think of a dentist’s office which did not attract me much. Then its dry-down is a wonder: it lowers the intensity of the carnation until feeling it faint and brings nutmeg a citrus hint (from the orange I suppose) cedar tonka bean heliotrope and a spicy touch. At the end of the 10 hours it lasted on my skin I feel a woody/cinnamon/vanilla base with that same citrus touch. Medium projection. Body Deodorant: Keeps the spirit of the aroma of old times but very weak. Only cinnamon citrus a loose woody base and a pinch of aldehydes. Lasts 4 hours and projects moderately (for the joke price it has). I feel I made a time travel to know part of the perfumery of old times.
I feel great longing for a home fragrance because it is nothing more than cheap supermarket cologne to use after a good shower. And there it stays. It smells of nutmeg cinnamon and lemon. It smells of what the sprays last because it passes ipso facto to skin level. Projection is non-existent and there is no need to look for more. It is true that a rollicking advertisement with actor Isaiah Mustafa turned it into a sales success but it is a $5 cologne and you cannot ask for more. In Spain I never saw it in barbershops as here Varon Dandy Agua Brava and Brumel always reigned so I do not have many sentimental childhood memories of it because I do not remember seeing it in supermarkets or chemists until now thanks to online perfumeries that brought it to me. Personally I like TABAC more which has the same olfactive line but is fresher and more intense and always as a plus for smelling good at home. The bottle is beautiful and the deodorant line is very intense and smell great. Little more to say: it is a very simple perfume for all ages more suited to staying in on a Friday night than to closing nightclubs.
What can one say about this perfume? It smells of tradition of cleanliness of what your grandfather or father smelled at some point in their lives. It brings me very good memories and when I saw it today on a trip to the perfumeries I could not resist. Perhaps it recalls Tabac a little but it evolves differently throughout the day. It does not have exaggerated longevity about 5-6 hours but projects very well for the first two. It is one of those fragrances worth trying at least once in a lifetime and for the price in Spain it is a sure success. That said better for autumn/winter because in summer it can result in being a bit heavy.
I had to try it because it is a classic. Very good for everyday wear. I do not notice any resemblance to Tabac or perhaps Tabac is floral (without falling into the feminine or unisex trap). This type of soapy or shaving cream fragrance is ideal for the routine: you walk down the street and when greeting with a hug or kiss you leave no bad impression. Very good.
Travelling to Porto through those eternal streets I stumbled upon an old perfumery long since vanished from the great cities and found Old Spice by Shulton. That brand which flooded my childhood and adolescence in the 80s with scents like Blue Sky (which we called Blue Stratos in Venezuela) and Mandate. Although it wasn’t my favourite seeing ‘Shulton’ in large letters on that old box I knew it had to be the scent of my memories. It did not fail me: it was identical to the non-spray lotion and the cap of the era. Scents bring back memories evoke moments and people who are no longer with us. It is an unpretentious smell for daily use the kind sold in supermarkets and chemists the kind you asked your parents for without being scolded for being cheap. It is not a masterpiece but for nostalgics like me smelling it and travelling back in time is incredible.
Why do I have this fragrance? Because it’s a classic of classics and has a smell of barbershop and old shaving foam, and because it brings me many memories of my childhood and early adolescence. Back then it was Splash, with a tiny cap that had to be removed. It’s a pleasant smell, easy to like, timidly spiced, but don’t expect anything modern or for it to be the hit, and keep in mind that it has a supermarket price and you can’t ask for more from it in terms of performance. For the price it has (5-10 euros), its evocative smell and its history, I think it shouldn’t be missing in a collection, even if just for the pleasure of having an old fragrance (from the early 20th century) and historical. I still like it, although I’ve spent so many bottles in my first youth that now I have it for personal enjoyment on occasions after the shower or bath. Au revoir.
If your grandfather hadn’t used it, you wouldn’t have been born. With that well-known slogan, it opens the door to one of the most known colognes, an aroma that you can smell and immediately brings to mind: barbershops, your grandfather, or aftershave lotion. I remember my grandfather, a serious, cold person, with a strong but at the same time warm gaze, one of those gentlemen who shaved in front of a mirror propped up on a wooden shelf, with a basin of water, a straight razor, his towel, and foam, very old-fashioned, so classic. Every time I greeted him, he smelled of this, of barbershop cologne, and every time I use it, I see myself in him, in that mythical shaving ritual. Now I soak myself in this classic beauty after my bath, and although my wife says I smell like an old man, I always correct her saying “vintage” or “classic man”. Although it lasts a breath, I’d prefer a thousand times that breath to nothing, because after a shower or shaving, there’s nothing better.
I’ve just bought it again, a week ago I got some tobacco; little by little I’ll get my own little vintage corner. Fragrances that 30 years ago you said “smell like granddad”, today I smell them and they bring a smile to my face. Now I understand these aromas (I’m 39 years old). Sincerely, this type of aroma if it were born today, we would call it niche, because niches very often are for personal enjoyment without thinking if someone else will like it or not, they aren’t conquerors nor do they pretend to be, for that we already have Prada, Givenchy, or whatever each one considers conquering. These aromas have a nostalgic vibe, something that when you smell or feel it, activates long-term memory in your brain and makes you remember moments, but above all, makes you remember people who are no longer there… So thank you, thank you for keeping certain aromas on the market.
Versatile, pleasant, functional, and good value for money. I perceive anise and cinnamon as well-defined notes within a set that comes off successfully as a scent suggesting cleanliness and neatness. I don’t think it’s the fragrance a dandy would use, but it doesn’t matter, as this is one of those products that makes you feel like an exclusive member of the select group where what matters is you, not what you appear to be with your cologne. It’s not for everyone, just as good humour, irony, and creativity are not understandable to everyone, which the company put into its product advertising campaign some years ago. That’s why if they tell you you smell like “old”, you should take it more as a compliment than as a criticism. I recommend buying it.
My grandfather used it, both as cologne and aftershave. He lived in the Canaries, very far from my Galicia, and from time to time he would send us boxes by mail with products from there, Tirma chocolates and some little gifts. Once he sent me a cap, and he must have just finished his shower when he packed it because it smelled totally of him, of Old Spice. To give you an idea of the quality of fragrances from before, even the cheap ones, the scent persisted for weeks on the cap, which of course became my favourite. Years later, already as a teenager, Old Spice became my first cologne… I knew it smelled a bit like an older gentleman and sometimes people would tell me, but I didn’t care, it smelled like my grandfather to me. What a stinging sensation in the eyes and throat. I miss it.
Creamy to the point, my wife says it’s very unisex and I agree… I love it.
If your grandfather hadn’t used it, you wouldn’t be here today. That was the tagline of a fun slogan about this great classic of American perfumery. I’m talking about Old Spice, and I’m sure many will say it was their dad’s, uncle’s, or granddad’s fragrance. Or isn’t it? The first olfactory memory is a warm, masculine blend of cinnamon and anise. Its bottle mimicked fresh milk bottles that in the 50s lined the entrances of middle-class American homes. That everydayness and austerity (and its almost absurd price) made it the favourite of Yankee males (though to me, it smells unisex) in the 50s and 60s. In Argentina, it was a craze in the 70s and 80s, when the offer was almost strictly local with options that were more than dignified. Having an Old Spice from the Shulton Company wasn’t a privilege for few. It was an accessible luxury object, used as an aftershave before bed, although its fixation and projection revealed a more toilet de toilette side than cologne. In 1990, Shulton was bought by the sinister Procter and Gamble (and the adjective is justified, believe me), and, as could not be otherwise, reformulated with packaging changes. 81 years later, its presence in our country is limited to Mercado Libre and astronomical prices (between 1,800 and up to 7,000 for an 188 ml bottle). Among the photos, I’ve uploaded one that still has its dad and I estimate dates from 1986. The beautiful bottle still retains its exquisite juice of nutmeg, star anise, aldehydes, clove, jasmine, geranium, cinnamon, ambergris, benzoin, cedar, vanilla, tonka bean, and musk. Pure nostalgia. We want it back.
Nutmeg, anise, a hint of cinnamon, and a floral touch. It’s a super-creamy aroma, not sharp at all. Smells like shaving foam mixed with that classic oat gel. Despite the advertising, it smells very unisex. With normal use, it doesn’t last long, about four hours, but it projects well at first. The good thing is that it invites reapplication without issue if you want more longevity. Want to feel clean and neat? Spend ten euros and keep it always. For the price, I recommend it.
I was pleasantly surprised by how well this cheap fragrance performs: it lasts all day. At first, it smells like talcum powder, but after an hour, it fades into a clean, pleasant scent. Ideal for daily wear.
A classic; although today I would use it exclusively to give a vintage touch to some room.
It smells like glory for what it’s for. I can’t find it anymore, but it was a good aftershave.
Very interesting cologne. I care little that the current one doesn’t correspond much to the old one; I have smelled it in relatives since childhood and for me the variation is minimal. Despite all the vilification on the internet, it enjoys a very good rating among users and that is because it responds with pride to use and the passage of time: it lasts me 8 hours, keeping its notes intact. Special for everyday life. I agree that it feels musky, soapy, and emulsifying, and I have always noted the very strong presence of paprika, not by the heat, but by its very fresh and earthy aroma. It is true that it does not present an evolution of releasing aromas, it is almost the same from start to finish, which constitutes for me an advantage. The price is more than convenient. Long life to this octogenarian jewel!
My dad used it. And I used to imagine myself on that little ship in the bottle: free, without having to go to school, to English class, and fulfil all those tedious obligations. I also discovered it at the house of some cousins who lived in the countryside and they wore it for some occasions (I never heard them put it on). It belongs to those fragrances that one would want to feel always, always… Masculine, but relaxing. Olfactory wonder of subtle spices!
It was my first cologne when I entered the world of perfumes, the first time I smelled it… uff, a delight. I remember it made me fly, with that musky, soapy smell, of oranges, dried orange peel, cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon. It serves for going out, for after showering, for training, for the office, for everything. It is very versatile and that is difficult to find in any perfume, regardless of its quality. You can use it whenever you want and in the quantity you want, it never becomes heavy, and it lasts several days on clothes. The first hour projects very well, afterwards its intensity drops, staying up close, but since it is an EDC it is understandable; so if you want it to be your everyday fragrance, I recommend you carry it in your bag; even so, the aroma will remain on your skin all day.
I loved this fragrance as a child. And as an adult, it always reminded me of my father, as he was the only one who always wore it. I remember him as imposing, persistent, always present. Now that I see the notes, yes, it did smell very vanilla-like, sweet, but I felt it was masculine; although seeing the notes, I see there are floral notes and others that could well make it feminine as I read in some reviews. For me, it was always a very nice perfume for men, and before, in Argentina, it was a very accessible perfume, I even thought it was national, but I see it is imported and now it is sold at an imported perfume price, not very accessible for normal wallets, let’s say. I would have liked to buy a small edition to remember my father olfactorily, but really at the price I saw now, I don’t think it’s possible. Anyway, I remember it as a great perfume and it doesn’t seem so vintage, considering it was conceived in 1938; I think it could be quite current.
A delight; it has always been a pleasant and persistent aroma. The bottle is delicate, with that ship, it transports you… Personally, I consider it has no season or age, and I dare to say that from a young man to a mature gentleman, they could all wear it. Reading the reviews, I didn’t know they had originally thought of it for women; when I have the opportunity, I’ll try it because I love sweet aromas and sometimes a bit musky ones.
I used it a lot when I was a teenager, in 200ml bottles; I remember that back then it was very potent and invasive. Recently I found it at Paco Perfumerías, hidden among cheap colognes, and I grabbed it for the price, obviously guided by nostalgia. I must say that although it’s not what it used to be in terms of potency, the scent transports me back to my adolescence and for that alone it was worth it. In my case, it lasts quite a bit for half an hour to 45 minutes, then it stays in a personal bubble for a couple of hours… and up close for about 6 hours in total. For 10€ for 100ml, it’s not bad; I have worse and more expensive things in my collection. Scent 10/10 in my case. Projection 5/10 in my case. Sillage 5/10 in my case. Longevity: for 10€ (100ml), although it lasts you 4 to 6 hours… it puts Bulgari Man in Black (shamefully reformulated), CH Men (shamefully reformulated)… and many others that we all know… and which don’t cost precisely 10€.
I have the aftershave, very good fragrance and quality. If you apply enough, it lasts for hours (I recommend a few touches on your clothes). It’s clean and reliable; it has generated more compliments than Creed Aventus itself. Besides, it brings me happiness. I’ll compare it with Brut and tell you which is better from my perspective. I don’t mention notes, only sensations.
Timeless and so easy to wear. I detect the spices but also the freshness, something unique because it evokes warmth while at the same time the sea breeze. Lots of cinnamon, lots of clove, and in the background spices with light green parts and marine touches…
Bought it for the first time today, as the last time I used it, my mum had bought it for me. It smells like the barbershops from when I was 5 or 6. I’m 40 now. It’s clean men in white guayaberas, buzz cuts. It smells like my grandfather. I absolutely love it. Curiously, another perfume that evokes that same feeling of my grandfather is Cartier’s Santos. This is a must-have for every grown man.
