Old Spice. I love Old Spice. The new Old Spice is not your fathers Old Spice.
I grew up using Old Spice. I used all their products from shaving soap to hair shampoo to talcum. Just loved it. Even the girls used to tell me, "Oh, you smell s-o-o good." Alas, its gone. The original supplier Shulton sold out sometime many years ago. I don't know about the history of the company or fragrances but sometime in the 1970s it seems manufacturers began selling these new deoderants and fragrances that absolutely reek. I myself have over time developed an allergy to a lot of chemicals such as paints, cleaning agents, seaslants, and...deoderants. A lot of recently developed deoderants apparently contain highly refined petrochemicals and are the source of serious allergic reactions. Me included. I think some of them are or could be classified as toxic hazards.
Searching the web I find what I would call a contoversy over what happened to Old Spice, trying to find replacements for Old Spice, as well as trying to find decent shaving soap without fragrances to eliminate the stink of the new fragrances but still be quality soaps. Anybody else notice this controversy?
