The association with "older men" comes from the fact that this scent is older and used to be worn by our dads or grandparents.

Old Spice for men was inspired by a colonial theme and the company's founder opted for a nautical branding. The only let down was when I received it the top lid was shattered so if I was wanting to give it as a gift I would have to send it back. It's a good cinnamon, which, later, mingles with vanilla, but it is that subsequent vanilla that dominates the scent in my opinion. Old Spice opens up with a scent that smells like I just opened a jar of cooking spices for Christmas pudding but not necessarily in a bad way.

I am not that much into floral compositions, but this vintage mix of spices and florals is spot on, this is manly but not overboardly manly like 70s beasts, girlfriend approves and these days not a whole lot actually wear this one so cud-dos for originality even though this is a classic. But to me Old Spice is a perfectly agreeable perfume that is goes on spicy with a touch of citrus until the top notes burn off.

This was the standard aftershave scent of my father, my uncles and a many other men who were around the house when I was young. Discardedandroid love your review but unless Creed invented a Time Machine how the hell can this be a clone of Viking? But I can smell that the juice is pretty watered down because the scent is not intense and I believe it should be much stronger. Luna, I'm guessing an unbiased review is not someone looking back while chewing the "'member berries". If the Rubicon formula had a better base with darker powder notes, it would be spot on the same as Shulton, although I still wonder if the top notes aren't too creamy.I was 16 and needed something to make me smell good as I was going on a date with a girl I was crazy about.

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. All I can say is if you're a young guy and you manage to pull off wearing this perfume, then you're going to go places. The cologne has high quality notes that are very well rounded and balanced in a way that keeps getting my attention over the initial, potent projection, lingering aura, and long-lived drydown.My grandfather had this and the ceramic mug with soap as his shaving ritual, he would slap the final remnants of the splash on my face, thus creating a scent time capsule. Even more puzzling is that they didn't just take the easy route and put the American OS in Indian bottles, but instead opted to let the foreign formula remain fresher and simpler, perhaps to better comport with India's stifling heat. 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. I do remember this having a slightly more vintage tone in days past (my dad used to wear this), did they change the aldehydes? My dad did have a bottle from before then - he probably bought it in the '70s - and I don't remember it smelling any different from the Old Spice of today, but to be fair I don't remember it that clearly because my childhood was some time ago and he rarely wore cologne when I was growing up.
