Old Spice Eau de Toilette for Men 100 ml

Product Information

A little splashed on the back of my neck was still discernible five to six hours later and getting more comfortable, stabilizing and, yes, nostalgic all the time; a lovely, dusty base with traces of musk, cinnamon, nutmeg and whatever passes for sandalwood.

I am less fond of the dry down, as a very dry effect produced by synthetic Christmas potpourri cinnamon, a LOT of eugenol (clove) that to my nose sometimes seems a bit bitter and dark; this feels somewhat unbalanced in relation to the serviceable (even lovely) amber and musk in the far drydown. the notes more prominent to my nose are orange, aldehydes, star anise, vanilla, cedar, cinnamon and tonka bean. Sillage is nuclear - someone smelled it across a large room after I did just a tiny dab from the stopper on my wrist - and longevity (with generous application) is around five hours, possibly more depending on the weather.Traditionally known for producing Old Spice for men, the company was in fact launched a year earlier with a scent for women. It smells very similar to the American version in that it has a hefty vanillic powder accord in the base, but there's less clove - far, far less clove.

Nowadays Old Spice men's fragrances and aftershaves still include some of the original products as well as many more new varieties to enhance the Old Spice collection. Perfumes with natural ingredients often smell different in batches based on the source of the ingredients, while synthetic ingredients usually have consistency in their smell and lasts longer. The citrus, star anise, flowers (carnation) vanilla and tonka all come together and dry with a manly musk core. Anyways, fast forward to the present day and I'm so into fragrances, I've started to come around to all of these great sophisticated smells.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

One whiff of this and you'll understand why this essentially defined 2-3 generation of men's cologne in the US. The humble ordinary man's scent that has had more impact within perfumery and socially than what we perhaps realise. I never wore this before until I was middle aged, so I am probably one of the few reviewers here who has no associations with this (I don't remember any of the men in my family wearing it either).

I do remember this having a slightly more vintage tone in days past (my dad used to wear this), did they change the aldehydes? This is compared to the American version, which in my view is a bolder composition, but overall both are recognizably Old Spice. It performs better than most fragrances on the market today, and I promise that it will get you noticed in a good way and garner compliments from everyone.
