Old Spice BURLEY

), and am curious....
I'm no good at scent descriptions, but since no one else tried, here goes...
A very masculine, dry, heavy scent with leather/tobacco dominating throughout. That brown bottle matches the scent -- think thick, dark brown. The dryness gives it a vibe like Bulgari Black or, even better, the sillage monster Bijan Pour Homme, IMO.
I think Burley does have that Old Spice signature scent around the edges to round it out. It's not close to anything else I've found, vintage or current, and it's the other end of the spectrum from today's light aquatic scents. Wear this one, and people will know you're in the building. I like Burley, but it's so in-your-face strong with incredible sillage that I found it wearable only for trips to the hardware store or fight club, and I just don't get to the hardware store much anymore, so I gave mine up. I've seen several bottles on eBay recently, and I'm always tempted to try it again.

Anywhere you can find this stuff other than eBay?
To me, it smells like Old Spice Leather with some kind of evergreen scent added to it. It's very hard to find. Sometimes it turns up in antique stores, but more often than not the juice is gone. I think your best bet would be to either pick some up on eBay or post something on the BST here. I bought a couple of bottles of old Shulton OS and another bottle of OS Leather on eBay and was quite pleased with the result. I picked up a bottle of Burley right here. Have yet to try Bounty.
Thank you.
