    Old spice whitewater is a great attempt by old spice to attract younger consumer's to using the brand, and in that regard its a huge success. This aftershave has been discontinued in the US, but is still readily available in South Africa and in a few European countries.

    It has a very clean sporty scent, the deodorant version is one of my go to scents, and as an aftershave it certainly doesnt fail to disappoint either.

    It comes in the classic old spice bottle with the extra "whitewater" being added on the bottle, and is definitely quickly becoming one of my every day use aftershaves along with the classic brut.

    Scent:8/10, a great "aqua" scent, very sporty and fresh, not something your grandfather would have worn but definitely miles better than some modern aftershaves which are too sweet smelling for my taste, even though modern aftershaves are often aimed at a younger audience which i fall under.

    Price7/10: i know old spice is cheap, but I can almost get two bottles of brut for the same price, and almost the larger bottle of clubman which will be my next aftershave I'll buy.

    Would i buy it again?: If it wasnt for the social media and social justice rants old spices parent company, proctor and gamble often go on, the answer would absolutely be yes. After buying a bottle of old spice original I'll unfortunately have to look for alternatives.[​IMG]

    About 10-15 years ago O.S. put out an alternate version...the name escapes me but it was two words...it was one of the best colognes I've ever sampled. Bluish but more woody than aqueous/watery. Excellent stuff. Wish I could recall the name!

    Smooth Blast, that was it. Fantastic while it lasted. Will sample the Whitewater when I come across it.

    Was it a cologne only, or aftershave/cologne?

    Aftershave, I think. It was unique, really well done.

    I don’t use social media (except for this fine forum) but I have become aware that Gillette recently created some controversial advertisements that garnered a bit of attention.

    Havent you seen the recent gillette advert? It caused a huge amount of controversy.

    Personally, i dont like a razor company trying to make me feel guilty for being a man, even if i agree on principal with the message of the advert.

    As a result, i wont be buying gillette blades or Proctor and gamble products even though their 7 oclock sharp edges are my favourites.

    That's the bottle from the 90s, they've since gone back to the white classic bottle, at least for the scents you find over here.
