In the 70's there weren't as many regulations for the ingredients that could be used in fragrances that's why is probably smells a bit differently. Another factor could be that from the vintage bottle the alcohol evaporated overtime and therefore the percentage of fragrance oil is higher than the modern ones.

It's always hard to compare old with new when it comes to fragrance. Chemicals breakdown over time and change so a thirty year old bottle of fragrance is not going to have quite the same smell as it did on day one. I have seen some surprisingly short lifespans on some expensive bottles of cologne in the past and I think they recommend that three years is about the standard life span of a good quality scent and that is only if it has been stored away from direct light.

If you're watching this and have never worn Old Spice, then its recommended that you do, its a great old classic with a unique smell that won't disappoint. Well, I wear Old Spice "Original" the new stuff and I'm decently happy with it. The sillage, longevity, and projection are not brilliant after 2+ hours. So I'm refreshing it if I want to retain the frag on me throughout the day. Its a competitively priced aftershave, you get what you pay for and in that respect, I'll keep on buying it as I have done for the past 40 years. I have about 50 bottles of various EDT's, EDP's Parfums and Colognes and I still buy Old Spice Original when it runs out! Its an agreeable, un-generic, unique frag out there on its own, a timeless classic and so it should remain. Good review Kensurfs thanks a lot. 🎵💨🙂💨😋💨😎

Have you considered that the older aftershaves smell stronger than the newer version due to the alcohol evaporating over the years? The bottles are not sealed perfectly, and evaporation will occur. With the lower alcohol content, you are left with a less diluted amount of perfume oils. Not a higher volume of oils, but a higher concentration of oils per liquid volume.

I wonder if the reason the vintage versions smell stronger is due to evaporation of the carrying agent. For example, if the alcohol slowly disappears over time, it's likely the perfume odor would become stronger. It is possible the ingredient make-up remains the same, it's just that it's become more concentrated with the slow loss of the alcohol. At one time, the vintage product may have smelled exactly like the modern version; however, it's now been aged. Just a thought!

@@kensurfs I do much wood finishing with OB Shine Juice... a combination of shellac, boiler linseed oil and denatured alcohol. Once the container is open, the alcohol evaporates fairly quickly... in fact if it sits for more than a few weeks I'll have to add more alcohol to compensate for the loss in level. I would suggest if you were to compare vintage with modern aftershave solutions, I'd try to find vintage unopened bottles to ensure the best composition - I suspect that would be a difficult task.

I have a set of the "original original" Old Spice inherited from my late grandfather many years ago. He only used a couple times, & it's early 1960's. A.S. same look as your bottle, (& btw how you tell, is by the stopper; the original original is a Bekelite pin, 1.5mm diameter, solid, & the later bottles the stopper is hard Plastic, 2.5mm, & hollow in centre. I inherited the set in early 1980's & did comparison to the then Orig scent O.S. I found the older type had the same initial punch but lasted a tiny bit longer than the early '80's version. The Brut, I have a very different opinion on; I find only when it's new, does it smell nice, but after 3 years it goes skunky, unlike the O.S. of any era. I had Hai Karate years ago, & Orig Yardley, & both were great performers. Pierre Cardin was an awesome scent. Old Leather, -only when new- & only the Tropical version, was good, but 3 years after, & whoo it reeks like a sweaty shoe. I still enjoy the scent of Old Spice, orig the most.

Thank you ken Great video I found a modern european brut with a silver medallion on eBay Not the gold medallion like the one Paul reviewed but it was affordable Im guessing its the standard modern brut in the u.s with an original looking bottle ,

As I travel to Dubai frequently, I buy my fragrances from there. But, I have doubts about the authenticity of the fragrances specially the classics such as bruit and old spice, Tabac. Can you pls. Explain how we can tell the difference between the original and counterfeit. Moreover, I am a huge fan of the American deodorant “Right guard Total 5 “ the red one. But couldn’t find it in Dubai. The last time I got was from London. So, please shade some light on this issue. Thanks a lot.

They're most likely the same. The older versions do not have the alcohol content that they once did. Simply opening the container will allow the carrier to off gas. The new bottles have more alcohol simply due to age.

I bought my shulton old spice shaving soap pucks from an estate sale and cant tell what year they are from but the pucks came wrapped in clear plastic and the boxes are red with the old spice logo in a blue bar with gold trim above and below the bar. But it is shulton. There were no markings on the soap though. If you dont mind could you tell me what year they are from? I would appreciate any info youd be able to have for me ken. Thanks again

JayH, I support your decision to “mancott” P&G; however, I think Boycotting Gillette is more fitting. P&G owns so manny different companies, that it’s hard to avoid. I believe Gillette’s attack on masculinity was one of the worst marketing decision in history; however, using vintage Old Spice, before P&G purchased Shulton, then changed the scent, is perfectly acceptable because P&G doesn’t get that money. I personally will continue to use my vintage Old Spice soap and aftershaves, but I will not purchase any more Gillette products anymore.

I fell in love with Old Spice as a little girl back in the early eighties. I decided when I was four or so that my future husband would have to wear it for me (yes, I'm laughing about this now). I ordered the new stuff online for kicks and the mailman pulled up with it while I was watching your video. I'm disappointed that the modern scent smells almost completely like the old timey shaving cream base with almost none of the (ahem) *SPICE*. What gives? This is not what I recall AT ALL. I mean, the shaving cream base is nice and seems legit if memory serves, but the scent feels incomplete and wrong without the spiciness. Also, you're right, even what I'm calling the shaving cream base scent is much weaker than in the original one. But thank you for letting me know that I might be able to find the vintage stuff online that smells better with that husky-sexiness that this new stuff doesn't have.

i couldn't tell if your current version of Brut is the splash, aftershave or cologne. I know the splash only lasts minutes, so when you said you smelled it after one hour, I was surprised. I'm not sure if you read my detailed comments to PaulHFilm's Brut videos, but to save time (and my typing fingers), I'm going to copy and paste them here. I've probably done way too much research on the history of Brut, and have emailed them several times. I'm surprised you weren't crazy about Brut Dominant. It's one of my favorites. Everyone I know who tries it, loves it. Women also seem to love the smell. I've written Brutworld and suggested they make it in a cologne or Edt strength, but they seem to have discontinued it! I picked up a number of bottles off of Ebay at the beginning of the year as sellers were finding it in 99¢ stores on the west coast. It's a pity, because Dominant and Attitude (along with their Special Reserve) are the only ones they still produce in glass bottles OTHER THAN the big monster 25.6 oz. gift edition bottle of Brut Cologne. I would suggest getting that on sale as Brutworld emailed and said it's the only version currently produced THAT'S BASED ON THE OLD FABERGE FORMULA. It's quite strong and lasts a good while. The same can be said of Brut Special Reserve edc in the green glass bottle, but that has slightly different top notes. Here's the posts I made to PaulHFilms' videos. I hope it's of interest: Brutworld USA (Idelle Labs/Helen of Troy) has told me that the 25.6 oz. (757 ml). monster bottle of Brut on steroids in the glass bottle with the medallion that they issue as a gift box IS BASED ON THE ORIGINAL FORMULA BY FABERGE. I hope they're correct. You can see it here. I bought it over the holidays during a phenomenal sale (only paid US $14) and the scent is terrific and lasts for over 5 hours: scene7.targetimg1.com/is/image/Target/14605796?wid=480&hei=480 The splash on in the plastic bottle that you showed is about as strong as mouthwash. It's their weakest version. All the plastic bottles of Brut are made by Idelle Labs/Helen of Troy here in the USA. I had previously thought they were based on Brut 33, a weaker version of Brut issued by Faberge in 1968, but Brutworld said the plastic bottles are a different formula. Some say the Unilever version in the glass bottle is based on Brut 33, but I would have to ask Unilever if that's true. There's also a Brut Special Reserve sold in a glass bottle with a medallion here in the USA and it's stronger than the plastic bottle cologne, but it's a slightly different formula that smells like original Brut as it dries down. i.beautyspin.com/view/16/faberge/fbgbsrm_aedc30-02__7.jpg For those that want to enjoy an interesting discussion of Brut: frompyrgos.blogspot.com/2012/04/brut-classic-helen-of-troy.html Wikipedia has a brief history of how Brut came to be Brut 33 along with information on the sale by Faberge. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brut_(cologne) Here's the Paris site: www.brut-for-men.com/#!models/cee5, If you click on the first picture and keep clicking, it appears you have the EDT. What I'd like to know is if they mean by "original", is it the actual stronger version released in 1964, before they introduced the weaker Brut 33 in 1968, then sold the line to Unilever and Helen of Troy/Idelle Labs? The new owners are supposedly selling the weaker version around the world according to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brut_(cologne) For those that live in the UK, Pakcosmetics seems to have a 2 page selection of the Unilever made Brut aftershaves and EDT's, all in glass bottles: www.pakcosmetics.com/brand/brut/brut

In 1968 brut made brut 33 and sold along with regular brut. It was 33% less strength than the original, for budget minded people. somewhere in the early eighties they went back to the regular strength. ( Brut was bought out by four or five companies. The splash on today is brut 33. the other variation im not sure about but are stronger.

Once read that if you buy a new bottle of Old Spice after shave to put it in a attic over the summer to "age" it. I did that, left it up there for months over a very hot summer. Not sure if it did anything. Has anyone else ever heard of doing that or done it and what did you think of the results?

When u buy the new stuff take the cap off and leave it out on counter with it off for a while it'll get a little stronger.
