I was going through a box of frags earlier today and found I had bought a bunch of Old Spice A/S when it was on clearance (to make way for the plastic bottle one). Nestled in with the regular scent was a few bottles of "Fresh." I tried it and *BAM* I smelled the 80's again -- it's an almost dead ringer for the original Calvin by Calvin Klein.
WOW.
I checked the reviews for Calvin and apparently "dreese" already discovered this back in August 2009, but I just wanted to throw this out there for any Calvin fans in case you didn't see his review under Calvin. (And thank you to him for confirming my findings, albeit a year ago!)
It's odd because the directory lists an Old Spice Fresh "Scent" that came in a blue bottle and was released in 1980. Calvin came out in 1981. So either the dates are wrong, Fresh "Scent" is not the same as "Fresh," or Calvin Klein got some inspiration from Old Spice.
If you like Calvin, you must go check it out (if you can find it -- not every store carries it). It's *really* similar.
I'm quite pleased, since Calvin is long discontinued (again).
