What does Old Spice Classic / Old Spice (Cologne) (1990) smell like?

Aldehydes, lemon and orange open the scent, with clary sage and spices keeping it bright. In the heart, cinnamon, pimento, jasmine and heliotrope come forward; the base is led by vanilla, frankincense, cedarwood and musk. The overall feel is sweet, powdery and faintly smoky.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, and it is used mostly for daily wear, leisure and the office. It reads masculine and classic, and voters rate its value for money highly.
