Old Spice Musk for Men (1974)
by Shulton

This really is an intoxicating scent for an inexpensive "drug store" brand. I got a bottle of this as a gift some time during the 1980's and, for some reason, wasn't impressed. About ten years later, I found the bottle in one of my drawers and tried it for the second time. I immediately fell in love with it, and got compliments from women every time I wore it. Unfortunately, I soon found out that the fragrance had been discontinued and, once the bottle ran out, I accepted the fact that I would never find it again and moved on. About two years ago, while browsing the web, I came across an online store that sold Indian products. I was surprised to find not only Old Spice Musk, but also Old Spice Fresh Lime which had also been discontinued in the US. These products are still produced in India under the original Shulton brand, although Proctor and Gamble does own the trademarks. I ordered a bottle of each, and found that they smelled exactly as I remembered them.

If I had to describe Old Spice Musk, I'd say that it was a muted Old Spice with a predominant musk character . It is definitely spicy, and slightly on the sweet side, but not at all overbearing. Overall, a very pleasant and masculine musk fragrance with good lasting power.
