About this deal

I have been trying for several months to find this product and was really pleased to find it at last . It smells like I would imagine an ancient Phoenician vessel smelling coming back from a trading trip with a boatload of spices, lemons, and other aromatic goods aboard. There is a complex range of notes in Old Spice but in the opening I get spicy, citrus and woody notes. This ties into the nautical theme of Old Spice quite nicely, but pictures of hot peppers associated with Old Spice are misleading and inaccurate. But I do take exception to people claiming that they are unbiased (see RckChk's lost/found post above, in all caps, no less!

He said something along the lines of this being antiquated or old school but I said to him to fear not, as the one I am reviewing today is not the original but the captain version. I smell some resins and pepper (maybe that's the pimento, but carnation can be peppery), and also sandalwood (which isn't listed). That was my first foray into Old Spice, and I liked it but fragrances really didn't move me the same way as they started to later on when I got into them when I was a teenager. As one previous fragrance member once expressed, "It smells like maybe what Louis XIV's wig musta smelled like.If you don't have at bottle, or are just starting to get into fragrances, give this one a shot, it's stuck around this long so it must be doing something right. The opening is aldehydes, most unusual for a man's cologne but it provides the scent with a startling freshness and invigorating zest. I wear this as a cologne from time to time, it reminds me of my dad who has passed almost 20 years ago. This time, being more into perfume I could actually smell some different notes and wondered how this old cologne that was so popular when I was growing up in the 70's, could still smell so fresh and current! She actually gave me a compliment and asked what it was and I told her It had a french name I couldnt pronounce.

It amplifies any unpleasant manly smell in the same manner when someone is very unwashed and tries to cover up the dirty odor by bathing in a sickly sweet, harshly nauseating, spicy scent. It's for you gals as well being unisex with the florals particularly the vanilla scent and heliotrope flower (which is a flower that smells like vanilla anyways) and with the nutmeg and cinnamon it passes for a gourmand fragrance. If you wear Coty's Stetson and don't mind the floral notes on it, this one should be easy to wear as well. Please excuse my enthusiasm, but the clarity, naturalness and evenhanded blending of this composition are evoking responses (connections to nature, flights of memory, the desire to go for long walks and kick conkers, etc.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.

It is also misleading, just think of the poor beginner approaching Le Male today after reading marvels from someone owning a 1999 bottle. Old Spice is a bit weaker, and the notes are a bit more bunched together, while Viking is stronger and more airy if that makes sense. When men were men, boys were boys and girls were girls, it's getting so mixed gender now what's it going to be like in another twenty to forty years?

Nothing altogether unusual and reminiscent of similar vanilla based colognes for men like Stetson Coty Dana Canoe and Pinaud Clubman. One whiff of this and you'll understand why this essentially defined 2-3 generation of men's cologne in the US. It's sweet and delicate and a scent you don't mind getting on yourself when you hug or hold the person wearing it. IMHO, there is a lot of irresponsible writing out there regarding vintages that ignores very real issues such as maceration and note degradation.
