    Certainly not if it's a Shulton.

    I have tried several.
    1. Shulton Old Spice, pre 1993. In 1993 P&G took over and changed the formula. I have some 1993 P&G Shulton Old Spice(transition), and you can tell there was a change.
    2.Original Old Spice. P&G, 1993 to present. It is Just plain lacking the deep complex scent the Shulton has.
    3. India Old Spice(Rubicon). Used the original Shulton formula, until a few years ago. P&G MADE the formula change. To what the U.S. smells like, yuk.
    So, basically, if you want the good Old Spice smell, buy vintage Shulton, that doesn't have P&G anywhere on it. I have several full Shulton bottles ranging from the mid 1950's to the Early 1990's and the formula is the dame, yuuuummmmmyyyyy.

    Since I used the so-called Old Spice Original Aftershave and cologne last week I lost quite a bit of my taste for it. I still have some Shulton Old Spice cologne but I don't use it so often because I want it to last as long as possible.

    Easy fix: Buy more Shulton OS.

    Aaahh, O/S... When Men were Men. And the women loved them for it. I recommend to all, stay with the original versions if you can. No reproductions of today come close to them. Maybe the O/S from India, made by Rubicon is similar, slightly. I grew up on this stuff from my Grandad to my Oldman and all my older brothers. A classic worth it's weight in Gold....

    My Dad used to use the Shulton version when it was available and he told me today that the reformulation sold now is a big step down. I agree with him on that. This was the only aftershave he enjoyed.

    sad isn't it? I think that's the case with Rise, too. The cream still performs as well as did the original one, but the fragrance is gone.

    I've just recently decided I like Old Spice AS. I hear people say that the version available today is different than the original. I don't remember the original. I wish I could compare the 2.

    As I stated yesterday, the so-called Old Spice Classic doesn't even come close to the original Shulton version. I can tell the difference blindfolded.
