I finally broke down and bought a brand new bottle of Old Spice Classic Cologne in the plastic bottle. I had planned on doing this for some time to compare the scent to the P&G glass version. I picked up a bottle while in Wal-Mart last week. I wore it instead of my Shulton on Thursday. It smelled fantastic. It has a much deeper, richer smell than the Shulton because it's brand new and has not had the decades of evaporation and mellowing like the former. I found myself constantly smelling my forearms, where I applied it. It lasted all day and into the night. I have been back and forth on this "re-formulation" issue and I must say that I am now on the fence about the whole thing. I really like the P&G OS cologne and am wearing it again today. I am sure it will smell like the Shulton version if I let it sit around for a while. The bottle of AS that I had previously banned to my garage now smells pretty good (I left the cork off it). I still love my vintage Old Spice but I will wear the new water more often. So what if it no longer contains saccarine. It still smells pretty damn good.

I suppose that new O/S is better than no O/S!

At this point, I'm inclined to think they are one in the same. This is a scent that changes on its own over time (for the better, as some have indicated).
Then I question you ever wore pre 1990 Old Spice.
I thought the main debate was for the old/new Old Spice after shave. The old/new colognes were thought to be fairly close.
