Old Spice was the "go-to" cologne for his generation. My great-uncle wore it too. From what I understand they've changed the formula now and are using less expensive/synthetic ingredients and people say it's not the same. People will pay big bucks for old bottles with the cologne still in them. I've seen them selling for hundreds of dollars online.
I could never look at a bottle without thinking of Dad. Now that it does not smell the same, it is sad, why can't they leave a good thing alone? never mind, I know the answer, money!!
Last month I saw a bottle at a yard sale when I was with my sister, I held it up and said what does this remind you of? Of course, she said Dad, and a couple of other ladies said their Dad, and we all laughed.
Now the laugh is on me, I might have left a hundred dollars there, she wanted 25 cents for it.
Now I know, thank you.
You're welcome! A lot of the big corporations just care about their bottom line now, sadly, and not as much about the product quality. The modern Old Spice smells decent for about five minutes then morphs into something else altogether. This Etsy link will give you a good idea of what the old bottles are going for now, some are on eBay too.
