As exemplified by their cheeky tagline, “If your grandfather hadn’t worn it, you wouldn’t exist,” Old Spice is both sexy and a classic. Over time they have held on to the original beloved scents and products that propelled their popularity in the first place, while developing new fragrances and formulas to stay fresh and modern. Old Spice products are some of the best smelling in their price bracket and keep the wearer fresh, clean and smelling awesome.

Old Spice has got basically everything a man needs to make sure he’s always looking and smelling great. They make a whole bunch of antiperspirants and deodorants with a large variety of scents to choose from including the Original Solid deodorant, the Steel Courage Sweat Defense Soft Solid Antiperspirant, and the Pure Sport High Endurance Antiperspirant Clear Gel.

Smell even better by starting off with one of their body washes or soap bars and completing the manly smell extravaganza with one of their body sprays of colognes.

The Old Spice 2-1 Shampoo and Conditioners are available in seven different scents, and Old Spice has got your hair styling needs covered too with their Putty, Paste, Pomade, Swagger Gel or Swagger Fiber Wax. You can also share your Old Spice enthusiasm with the world by sporting their red logo socks or the Old Spice MANCARD, a credit card shaped beer bottle opener. Obviously a total must-have.

Old Spice Bearglove Deoderant Review

Bearglove is a really nice scent.

Bearglove is a really nice scent, just not the woodsy, musky scent you’d expect with the name and packaging. It’s hard to explain, but this deodorant smells very masculine, but also pretty sweet with hints of fresh fruit.

The solid antiperspirant can leave a very slight white residue on dark clothing, and I personally feel that the gel deodorant version is more comfortable and preferable if you just want to eliminate odor and don’t worry about staying dry (it’s healthier to allow your body sweat anyhow!). In general, if you gravitate towards sweeter scents, this product works well and has a unique smell to it.

Old Spice Bearglove Bodywash Review

Once you find a scent you love, get the whole line so that different smells don’t contradict each other. This body wash is for those Bearglove enthusiasts, and there seems to be a lot of you. It lathers up and cleanses well, and it is quite moisturizing so it is a good one for dry skin. This body wash leaves a stronger, noticeable scent than some of the others and it lasts for hours.

Old Spice Cologne Line Review

Old Spice is known for their iconic, complex scents, but they come off too subtle in their everyday products like deodorant and body wash to really enjoy all day. The colognes are a nice way to kick the fragrance up a notch and really command a room with your great smell. Cologne is a greatway to accentuate a certain part of your personality and can be so empowering like that.

Going on a business interview? Wear the Classic Cologne or Aftershave and bring out a strong, stable confidence. Hot Date? Try the alluring Wolfthorn Cologne Spray. Night out with the boys? Put on the lighthearted, fresh Pure Sport Aftershave. Whatever direction you go in, you’re guaranteed to smell pretty fantastic. The only critique I have is that the aftershaves don’t have a very long lasting scent, but the colognes do linger well.

Old Spice Wolfthorn Deoderant Review

Wolfthorn is a very unique scent that smells absolutely amazing in my opinion. It features a somewhat sweet, yet intriguing, blend of citrus, mango, vanilla and musk which gives it some depth. Citrusy, sweet and fresh, this stuff is great for the guy who isn’t afraid to get in touch with his more feminine side. It is available in the traditional invisible solid powder and blue gel versions.

Old Spice Wolfthorn Cologne Spray

A scent raved about as much as this one was just begging to be released in cologne form. It’s smells a bit more citrusy and herbal than the deodorant, which works for a cologne, and the scent stays on the skin for about 6 hours. You get 100ml in the bottle for about $5.00 so this comes at really great value.

Old Spice Fiji Deodorant Review

The Fiji scent is the epitome of refreshing. With notes of juniper, blood orange and sweet musk, this scent is bright, clean and masculine. It really does bring the ocean and palm trees to mind, and the deodorant itself controls odor well without staining clothing.

Old Spice Fiji Bodywash Review

This blue gel body wash is fresh and revitalizing, and like the deodorant, the smell is amazing and brings to mind islandic goodness. It suds up nicely and cleans thoroughly. The pump dispenser is incredibly convenient and brings to mind Head & Shoulders bottles. No more trying to balance a slippery bottle in one hand while you squeeze out the soap into the other.

Old Spice Denali Deodorant Review

This deodorant smells like reaching the summit of North America’s tallest mountain. You put this on every day and you can almost taste the fresh mountain air and the adventurous determination to put your mental and physical strength to the test and reach the highest of heights – literally. This is a clear blue gel that applies comfortably, doesn’t stain clothing, and fights odor-causing bacteria.

Old Spice Hairwax Review

The Old Spice Hairwax is a pomade with a really fresh scent that won’t overpower your cologne or body spray. It features a demi-matte finish, making hair look sleek and well-kept without coming off as dirty or greasy. It also gives a medium-hold. I’d recommend this for styling a more natural, tousled look or to keep longer hair from frizzing up and flying all over the place.

Old Spice Hair Putty Review

The strong hold makes this product great for spiking up short hair.

Like all of the Old Spice hair styling products, this putty has a great, but mild, scent. This one gives a matte finish so it won’t make hair look too shiny, and it provides a lot of hold. The strong hold makes this product great for spiking up short hair, creating a faux hawk or for any stiffer styling needs.

Is Old Spice Cruelty Free? Does Old Spice Test on Animals?

Proctor and Gamble is Old Spice’s holding company, so their animal practice policies are dictated by P&G’s. P&G is one of the better of the large conglomerates in terms of animal practices, contributing substantial sums of money to alternative testing research and choosing not to test their products on animals.

However, they do sell their products in China where all products sold are tested on animals by Chinese research facilities. Companies who continue to sell their products in China are not considered to be cruelty-free because they are inadvertently supporting animal testing.

Old Spice vs. Axe Breakdown

Axe is targeted towards younger guys, with bold, fist pumping at the club scents. They are great and refreshing, but Old Spice is generally more complex with their fragrances, mixing complementing notes and creating a product for a more sophisticated man. These scents are masculine and smooth, and not at all overwhelming which the AXE sprays sometimes can be. The newer Wild Collection is particularly designed to appeal to the older end of their demographic spectrum, and the men in its ad campaign are well-groomed and have a powerful air about them, while AXE ads generally showcase a young guy getting girls by the power of AXE.
