Old Spice- when was it changed to the new formula?
- Thread starter GarageBoy
- Start date
they smell the same to me - old and new
I'm no expert here, and would like more info myself, but from what I've gathered, the acquisition by P&G is when the new formula started....like I said, it's highly possible this is inaccurate, but it's my working theory until someone wiser enlightens us.....
If you have the Shulton, you have the original.

P&G bought Shulton back in 1990 but I'm not sure when the scent was suposedly changed slightly. The logo was changed to the yacht/sailboat in 1992.
I'll miss the glass bottle. I'll have to keep my eyes open at the flea markets for the older ones and refill when needed.

I don't know when the formula was changed but I do know the original Shulton scent is again available in stores in the US.
The P&G scented Old Spice is in the glass bottle with a gray stopper and labelled as "Original".
The true original Shulton scent is available in plastic bottles with a red stopper and labelled as "Classic".
I bought a bottle of the Classic AS splash yesterday in the local Target. They also had the cologne in classic scent. They were sitting next to the "Original" scented colognes and after shaves.

So you're saying that the "Classic" is the original scent and the "Original" is the new scent?

Hmmm, sounds like something P&G would doSo you're saying that the "Classic" is the original scent and the "Original" is the new scent?
Al
Which brings up another question--- My local Hell-mart has one labelled "Fresh Scent" What the heck does Fresh smell like?So you're saying that the "Classic" is the original scent and the "Original" is the new scent?

I've been googleing the whitewater scent, can only find it across the pond, trying to find it in the states, curious if it's the same as the "fresh" scent we have hereWhich brings up another question--- My local Hell-mart has one labelled "Fresh Scent" What the heck does Fresh smell like?
The Fresh and Pure Sport A/S have been around for a while, and there are matching deodorants and body washes to match.

Exactly!So you're saying that the "Classic" is the original scent and the "Original" is the new scent?
Al
Just remember 'best' badger is super, but 'super' badger is actually the best.So you're saying that the "Classic" is the original scent and the "Original" is the new scent?
Al
given what we've seen so far, I'll bet it smells like something, but not 'fresh'!Which brings up another question--- My local Hell-mart has one labelled "Fresh Scent" What the heck does Fresh smell like?
There's no difference between the scents, however, what has changed is the fact that P&G does not use any type of hydrogenated oil for the 'Classic' fragrance which now comes as "Original".
The bottle I bought said "Classic" on the box, but on the bottle it says "Original". The only thing P&G are responsible for are the new fragrances by old spice and the new line of body wash, deodorant, etc. There's no difference between Shulton Old Spice and Glass bottled P&G version because Shulton formula was still used for P&G. If anyone has better knowledge on this let me know. If you notice the ingredients list of Pure Sport, it will be different than the "original" scent.
The only difference between the glass bottled and plastic bottled versions is just glass and plastic, the scent is the same. Just get yourself a glass bottle, and re-fill it if you like it kept in glass. I find that the fragrance is better preserved in glass bottles than in plastic. Which may be the reason why some of us think that the "new" formula is different when it is really the same thing.

I just wanted to show everyone a nice article that details the old spice packaging change.

Wow. Packaging Digest is an awesome site. Just added it to my favorites. Thanks for the link. Also, welcome to B&B!
EXCELLENT article referenced. I prefer my "Eqyptian Sand" made glass Old Spice Bottles.....
I believe there is a difference in scent. The "Classic" seems to have a more powdery scent to me.
You bought a mis-packaged product.
