Old Spice Eau de Toilette for Men 100 ml

Product Information

This formula is clearly aged and has had air in the bottle for some amount of time, as I bought it half-full. Longevity is a problem with the aftershave as to be expected, will give the cologne version a go, too.

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).The herbal rosiness quickly dries down to a linear carnation/cinnamon/clove combo that channels a slightly sweeter and less dry version of Sex Appeal (a very good juice in its own right, despite the wretched name). This is really pleasant and fresh-smelling in a different way than "fresh-smelling" usually is construed today. It's a very nice mild fragrance that has carnation as its most dominant note, and that's pretty rare today--carnation has pretty much disappeared in recent years in both men's and women's fragrances, and more's the pity.

To me, having an Old Spice in a bathroom and to sniff it from time to time, means to be transported in times when father was young and my grandfather was still alive. I don't want to discredit the brand in any way, and it could be a one off, but in my case it just doesn't smell. If this is an "old man" smell then this is how I want to smell when I get old because it smells very nice. Overall, this is a fragrance most people have smelled before, and it smells "cheap" and probably tacky to most older noses.
