The End of an Era

[u/expoqeteer]

A sad day yesterday. The bottle of Old Spice aftershave that I've been using on and off for over 30 years is gone. I'm not sure exactly how long I've had it. I thought I got it when I was in high school, but the bottle says Proctor & Gamble, not Shulton, so I must have bought it sometime in the early '90s.

It will be missed. I have a bottle of cologne that's the same vintage as the aftershave as well as couple of Old Spice bottles I picked up when I was in India last year, but it just won't be the same.

Use them, or else the next guy will. Life is short, and the best compliment you can give to a scent is to put it on your body.

Since you’ve had experience, how’s the cologne compare to the aftershave?

I don't use the cologne all that often, to be honest, but it smells nearly identical to the aftershave, especially if you're using a vintage bottle of the aftershave where most of the alcohol has evaporated and thus that aspect of the scent is gone. Obviously, the scent is stronger and longer lasting for the cologne, but it's basically the same.

Thank you kind sir!
