    This is such an underrated scent. A classic. Not for " old men ". I started wearing this when I was 13. I wore it to school lol. I had a bottle from my grandfather and it reminds me of being young and going for long walks around Ireland with him. This is my main scent to use after having a nice shower and shave at the end of a long day. The price is amazing. My wife does not like me wearing it in bed as it reminds her of her own father. Every man should own this and for a good reason at that, it is a manly scent. Love it.

    Old Spice Rocks! I remember my father wearing this as a boy - I liked it then, too. Masculine and fresh, spice, vanilla, cinnamon - great longevity and projection, still smells good at the end of the day. I inherited a glass bottle of the cologne and after-shave from Dad: I find that the most recent plastic bottle production by P&G is every bit as good as the Shulton version in glass. As others have pointed out, AS lasts only about 4 hours, cologne a LOT longer.

    I don't care about what is "Old Man", "Barbershop", "Soapy", or "Obsolete". I just like what smells good, and can last as long as I do throughout the day. The best parts? Old Spice is inexpensive, available at the corner drugstore, and will probably be available even after the apocalypse.

    I was a bit surprised when I tried this one again, it was my first aftershave as a boy and 40 years later when I tried it again, I was surprised how good it was. I had fogotten how floral the scent is an what a good overall aftershave Old Spice is.

    I use this in my rotation of day to day aftershaves.

    This review is for the Original Old Spice Eau De Toilette version by Procter & Gamble .

    Smell.
    The smell is a mixture of spices , rose and mint . The smell is very dated , very old , sweet and very overpowering , it smells like an Old Men .
    My score for the smell is 2/10

    Age group.
    60 years old and up , No kidding .

    Purpose .
    The purpose of the scent is Unknown because this scent is too sweet and overpowering for the day and too cheap and dated for the night .Garbage .

    Longevity .
    5 plus hours every time , that's great for a cheap cologne my score for longevity 10/10.

    Projection .
    The projection is very good people can smell you but don't overdo it because the smell of the cologne is so annoying that makes other people around you mad and crazy . They may shoot you or beat you to death .
    My score for projection is 8/10.

    Overall i feel this cologne doesn't deserve the 5 bucks i payed for it .Garbage .

    I am an old fart....so I know about Old Spice ....have used it for forty years. (more actually)...get a bottle for Christmas...every year or two. It makes me happy...like the smell of moms apple pie...or fresh baked bread. (olfactory memory triggers?)

    I like to splash some on when I work in the woodshop...or change the oil in my car.....true aromatherapy...it takes me back to a simpler time and place....it makes me happy!

    Like ...as others believe...the recipe has changed a little over the years...or have we just become calloused and synical.

    Old Spice cologne is a part of Americana....like Betty Boop and Larry ..Moe and Curly or Shemp or Joe.

    I am currently 18 year old and i have also known about old spice being one of the cult/legend fragrance of all time. So with the new advertising campaign with Ad's hitting the TV i decided to pick up a bottle of the spice, got a good deal on Amazon a fiver for a bottle and a stick.

    when i first applied, i was shocked to smell that it did not even resemble something an old man or a granddad would wear !. spicy with a hint of rum and a cinnamon. Overall time i get with my old spice ( mine is the Aftershave Version) is about 4 hours which quite good for a aftershave, next time i will probs pick up the cologne version.

    I usually wear this when i can't be bothered wearing anything else to work, or when i meet up with mates at the local bar, i don't see wearing anything special going to my local as i'm not chasing after girls or going clubbing. But i have got a few complements for both sexes when i wear this too my local, of course a few know its old spice and are pretty shocked to see someone so young wearing it !. I have not worn it clubbing yet but maybe sometime in the future i will too see the results.l

    so i say if you under the age of 30 don't be scared to pick this up as it seems it coming back into fashion again and old spice smells alot different than to the normal men fragrances on sale right now so you might stand out for once...
