This is my take on the original or classic scent of Old Spice. Old Spice original was launched in 1938. The nose behind this fragrance is Albert Hauck. The top notes are Nutmeg, Star Anise, Aldehydes, Orange, and Lemon; the middle notes are Cinnamon, Carnation, Pimento, Geranium, Heliotrope, and Jasmine; base notes are Benzoin, Vanilla, Musk, Tonka Bean, Cedar, and Ambergris.
 
The Old Spice products were manufactured by the Shulton Company which was founded in 1934 by William Lightfoot Schultz. The earliest men’s products were dominated by shaving soap and aftershave lotion.
 
Procter & Gamble purchased Old Spice from the Shulton Company in June 1990. The clipper ship was replaced by the Sailboat/Yacht logo in the fragrance bottles in February 1992. More recently, P&G; has introduced many forms of deodorant sticks, body washes, and body sprays in several scents under the Old Spice brand. Old Spice is now the No.1 antiperspirant/deodorant stick and body wash brand in the United States.
