About this deal

When we use third party service providers we only disclose the information needed to deliver the service in question. The dominant character of the cologne is cinnamon, carnation and clove, as it is in the contemporary aftershave formulation, but here it is supported by a deep, almost butter-rum blend of benzoin, nutmeg and star anise that is truly mesmerizing. My uncle didn't know it, but It was the sweet, cheap smell of car dealers that took me back, and made me dissolve into a dream of the past.

The glass bottle certainly helped, as it made the juice seem simultaneously (and winningly) hygienic, special and unpretentious. When the citrus and spices dissipate, I detect florals and vanilla plus wood and musk, though all these notes are clean and soft, even powdery.The overall effect - clean, creature-comfort oriental with a distinct spice cupboard/old book aura- still persists as the identity of Old Spice, and is great for cool weather. The quote, "The people you love become ghosts inside of you, and like this, you keep them alive" (commas mine) seems applicable. I avoid to use this fragrance at my job, since the scent might annoy the patients -because, in my opinion, it is a bit strong for a Hospital job. I've been using Old Spice for many years and I can definitely say that what's in this bottle has nothing to do with the original Old Spice. If memories from those parties are correct, this scent layers well with beer, good whiskey, unfiltered Chesterfield cigarettes and the smell of gumbo and barbeque.

If that's what the future holds then fair enough but please let there be Old Spice to remind us of the days when the water was safe to drink, please! While certainly dated, it'll inevitably conjure up (hopefully) pretty good memories of grandparents and parents. It retains the Old Spice scent, it's richer, it's darker and it just has so much more going on with it. It smells like I would imagine an ancient Phoenician vessel smelling coming back from a trading trip with a boatload of spices, lemons, and other aromatic goods aboard.Please excuse my enthusiasm, but the clarity, naturalness and evenhanded blending of this composition are evoking responses (connections to nature, flights of memory, the desire to go for long walks and kick conkers, etc. I will always enjoy this scent, and will often include it in my casual wear after a fresh safety razor shave. When I got a bottle of the cologne for my father's birthday two years ago, I got one for myself as well. However, I can see why this was originally marketed to women in the 1930s (but then re-packaged and marketed to men), because honestly. With a buoy-shaped bottle and distinctive scent, Old Spice is as American as a man on a motorcycle jumping over a baseball stadium while singing the national anthem.
