Guys, you HAVE to try SCS New Spice. It's $10 for 3.3 oz so you really aren't going out on a limb to try it. My girlfriend so LOVES this stuff... I don't think I've ever seen such a positive response to any cologne. Bottom line: GET IT.
Glad its working for you bud- I must say though, my GF did NOT like this stuff at all, I was asked to wash it off immediately and had a helluva time getting it off my skin. I ended up gifting it to a relative (who liked it, btw). I will say that New Spice is a VERY cheap alternative to Thiery Muegler's Angel for men. Very similar.
Man, that's too bad. I got a sample of the stuff a while back and personally didn't think too much of it... but then my GF got a whiff of it and that was it... I ordered some. I'll have to check my sample of Angel again... I remember putting it on a hating it right off... it smelled like a candy factory or something. It made me think of Willie Wonka.
I've been impressed with all the SCS scents I've tried so far... New Spice is one of the strongest colognes I've ever used. VERY strong. Bang for the buck, I'm not sure there's a better deal out there for a longer-lasting cologne.
So far I've picked up: New Spice Embrace Bay Rum w/a Twist GF does not like the bay rum... she doesn't hate it but she sure doesn't like it. I haven't worn the Embrace for her. But the best thing is, the prices are so reasonable that you might as well try them! I know I've spent a lot more on other EDTs on reviews alone.
I got a sample of New Spice in my last order. I wasnt extremely thrilled. It turned a little sweet on me and was a little strong. I love the Bay Rum w/a Twist though and am warming up to the Oakmoss Lavendula.
guys, both scents seem to go well on olive-skinned, swarthy men like myself because our body chemistry seems to hold a heavy scent like this better. Jeff
I hear ya. Too much of the "twist" in the SCS BR for me. I cut it with some of the Master BayRum AS from Sally's at about a 5:1 ratio of MBR to SCS BR. Just a hint of lime smells better to me.
I think it is the bay rum scent altogether that she does not like... she said I smelled spicy and she didn't care for it.
Scents & Colognes It's really tough for me to buy scents & colognes. I have to have my wife and daughter with me. Everyone's body chemistry is different and it's surprising what works for me and what doesn't. The best smelling stuff in the bottle can smell like cow dung and then there is some stuff that you'd think was skunk juice but turns out nice. Go figure.
The SCS New Spice didn't work for me. SWMBO made the crinkly nose face and muttered something about me smelling like Raid?!?! Sometimes I think chemotherapy has messed with her sense of smell, but she loves JHL and BB1818. I never smelled raid but thought it was too sweet and didn't like the oily finish. Something in it reminded me of my Grandmother baking cookies, not a bad association but not what I look for in cologne either. A lot of people like this one. I suspect it's one that folks either like or dislike strongly.
I just took my New Spice out of the box about twenty minutes ago. Wow. This is some strong stuff!! Just awesome. Sue also threw in a few samples. That was very kind. I would recommend her store to all.
I have a thing for SCS EDTs. Haven't tried one yet that I don't like, and I currently have 8 of them. Bay rum w/ a twist is my personal favorite though. I agree that new spice is extra concentrated. About 1/3 of a spray lasts all day on me. The first time I used it I gave it a full pump, and it was out of control. My wife did not like it, but with a lighter mist she is in to it.
I almost had a 2nd hand bottle of the New Spice once.....alas, the post office was a bit rough with the package and shattered the bottle.....the box did smell nice though
