Old Spice has a conventional life cycle, which avoids being entirely linear. It follows a decidedly classic dry down as the notes evaporate. The head, heart and base are clearly discernable whilst laced with transitional notes that pave the way. Aftershaves are notorious for cooking the head notes away immediately upon application. That said, Old Spice’s head manages to resist and endures for a good quarter of an hour. The resulting heart is an enjoyable and lasting experience until leading to the fragrance’s celebrated musky base notes. Despite all its efforts to rebrand and diversify, Old Spice will be forever remembered for its original iconic cologne in buoy-shaped bottles. Old Spice is a versatile year-round fragrance. However, it proves particularly successful during the end of autumn and during the winter months. The combination of citrus and spices make it an ideal Christmas fragrance that evokes potpourri and mulled wine. The aftershave comes in a splash bottle rather than atomiser. The plastic stopper, which used to be grey, is now a striking red that matches the bottle’s details.

In 1990, Proctor & Gamble bought the brand from the Shulton Company who founded it. However, times were changing and the iconic sailing ship was taking in water and its future was uncertain. In the 1970s and 1980s, Old Spice ad campaigns in the United Kingdom and Ireland featured a man on a surfboard accompanied by Carl Orff's O Fortuna from Carmina Burana, with the tagline "Old Spice – The Mark Of A Man". [8] Old Spice’s secret weapon lies in its ability to provoke strong emotions through olfactory memory. Its composition is deeply rooted into both American and British collective consciousness. Throughout the 2000s, Procter & Gamble introduced many forms of deodorant, body washes, and body sprays in several scents under the Old Spice name.
