Old Spice

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Old Spice

Old Spice is a warm spicy woody scent, and our version keeps that feel: a fresh citrus and nutmeg opening, a spiced carnation heart, and a warm woody base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Old Spice has been a classic since 1938, a warm, spicy heritage scent built around nutmeg, clove and carnation over a smooth woody base, familiar and comforting to generations.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the nutmeg, lemon and orange fresh up top, let cinnamon, clove and carnation warm the middle, and finish on a smooth sandalwood, musk and tonka base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a classic release. We build ours at a higher perfume oil concentration so the spice and woods last longer, while keeping the same nostalgic character.

Who It’s For

It suits men who want a warm, classic, spicy scent for everyday wear.

Common Questions

How close is it to Old Spice?

It follows the warm, spicy, classic character of the original closely. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

Is it stronger than the original?

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load, so most people find it projects and lasts as well as, or better than, the original release.

Is this the same perfume as Old Spice?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style, so you can enjoy the character at our price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It leans masculine and is ideal for everyday wear and cooler weather.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
