I'm someone who has owned Old Spice from back when it was still sold in crockery - you know, the good stuff manufactured out of Egyptian sand. Back then it was a good to very good scent, but unfortunately just never my kind of cologne or aftershave. The new stuff now is sold in plastic bottles, with a kind of weird reformulation that tries too hard to trick you in believing it's still the same as the original stuff. Truth is, it's not bad, but I don't really feel it's all that good anymore. And the packaging, as classic as it may be, needs an update. I'm going from my background in graphic design here when I say that the red is getting tired. Sure, the price is right. So is the zest behind the staying power of this scent. It will hang with you all day if you use just enough, and unlike many things out there, it won't necessarily get to be too much. That nice spicy, clovey feeling you get with Old Spice doesn't outstay its welcome easily, that's for sure. But all things considered, I'd have to say that it's just a very mediocre drugstore offering now, and only a shade of what it used to be. For guys in their late 20s and early 30s, I'd say use something else to smell good. The over 50s can wear this just right.
