  Old Spice fragrance from the 1970s (or earlier?)

  Posted by Margaret on September 29, 2024 at 8:38 pm

  Does anyone happen to know where I can get a fragrance like the Old Spice from the 1970s?

  Thanks (in case I forget to thank anyone for any tips)

  Is that something different than was is typically called ‘Bay rum’ fragrance? Everyone sells it.

    I’ve seen Bay Rum in many places, but have never considered it. Thanks! I shall get a small bottle next time I order stuff.

      Yes….Bay rum is the iconic knock-off of Old Spice. Granted in this space….there are 100’s of sellers….there are also likely several mfg’s ….. So the knock-off could vary from seller to seller.

      It never appealed enough (at all) to me…..to evaluate. If you want two modern scents….that will make folks swoon…..I will attach them.

      Give those two a ‘look-see’.

        This (excellent) company sells very small samples….so it is not costly to give a handful of interesting fragrances….a trial.

        For women…. they have an English Pear and Freesia…..that most women swoon for.

        If you use those dreaded EO’s …. one of the few non-citrus….that I can even tolerate….is their Himalayan Cedar… pretty neat stuff… not the same nasty cat pee and pencil shavings you get from most cedars….quite sweet.

  Try Indian grocers who import their own stock. Old Spice made in India is, I believe, still made to the old formula and still popular.

  I buy it, and prefer it to the insipid Old Spice bought through regular distribution outlets.
