A Legendary Classic: Old Spice Classic



Hello everyone! I hope today finds you blessed and joyous in the middle of the holiday season! Today I will be covering another classic, Old Spice. This is on the current formulation. The next few reviews will be on some classics as well. Enjoy!


Presentation
The bottle comes with the classic Old Spice ship on the front. It's plastic. As you can see some of the writing on the front is rubbing off. The cap is a thin plastic as well. Overall, a pretty cheap and uninspired presentation that is nothing like the old glass bottles, but it works. The atomizer is pretty decent.


Notes
Top- Orange, Lemon, Anise, Aldehydes, Nutmeg

Mid- Heliotrope, Carnation, Geranium, Cinnamon, Jasmine, Pimento

Base- Tonka, Musk, Ambergris, Benzoin, Cedar, Vanilla


Scent
Old Spice opens up, as one would think...Spicy. Add some florals and a little sweetness from the anise, orange, and vanilla. Cinnamon, carnation, and nutmeg are the big players here. They come out strongly. The benzoin, musk, and vanilla are very noticeable too. On the dry down the dry spices come out much stronger. This fragrance is classicly masculine and unforgettable. This is what a barbershop fragrance should be, at least to me. 

This formulation is a shadow of the former Old Spice pre-80s, but it still a good fragrance. You can get 120ML for around 8 bucks at Wal-Mart. I still wear it and like it, but it's not what it used to be.

This fragrance is very diverse for what you can use it for. Best suited for the colder wear, but can be used in the warmer months if you go very light on the trigger.

Longevity is about 6 hours on me with about an hour and half of solid projection. It leaves a decent scent bubble. At the price you pay, it's fine. You can afford to reapply. The plastic bottle does make it more portable than a glass one.
