Hey, hey- Notice that my wardrobe does proudly include the Drakkar Noir. I enjoy it.
What I meant was that the frags would have sort of an old-school, high-school, ladies-man, jean-jacket kind of vibe. Drakkar definitely has that going for it, despite its good quality and fantastic drydown.
The canoe and english leather were duly noted. Aspen is too foul to apply in my house, let alone on my skin.

Answer:
Hard to believe that OS was first made and marketed as a female scent — it was only when it failed in that market that they relaunched it as a male scent.
So there should be a thread: Do real men wear old spice?
(But I pray God that there isn't!!!)

Answer:
Old Spice is a great scent for the price... I did hate it.. but now.. as im older i have added it to my collection..
Makes me feel really fresh when i apply..

Answer:
Just for point of argument...
If: In a blind/control setting..format: New fragrance testing...no info given vs famous designer brand lots of info given..scent notes..longevity..sillage..marketing slicks etc...
I think if old spice were that "new scent" with no info...it would get high marks in reviews..its an easy target..but it has survived...no make that prevailed in a very competitive field and usually is the first name chosen when asked; what is an inexpensive after shave/cologne...
it's unpretentious and can't be insulted...to many, myself included...its a pleasing scent ..

Interestingly they showed no product, nor gave no any idea what the product they were advertising was or did. But the subtext was if you really want something... and they left you hanging. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af1OxkFOK18

Answer:
you never got a whiff of the bile that came in the faux porcelin bottle of the sixties. It smelled like New Jersey's Turnpike at night, middle of summer, windows down, gas refinereries to the right and chemical plants to your left along with the stench of the abbatoirs that would not move under a weather system that stalled. Plus there were no pollution laws so that truck that just passed was emitting thick black smoke. I'm half way there to giving you an idea and I'm getting ill.
