Brut and Old Spice. A comparison between vintage and modern versions of both.
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I was asked to do a review/comparison of vintage Brut and the modern Brut a few weeks ago. There was a great comparison out of England by PaulHFilms that I recommend you check out. I'll do a quicker comparison but will include two Brut Products Paul did not review. I also will do a comparison of Old Spice, vintage and modern. The following are a few cool links that really helped me.

My grandpa swore by old spice, I remember once he told me he bought 100 bottles in the 70's because he was scared that they were going to discontinue it. To this day he still has a dozen or so bottles from the 70's

In the 70's there weren't as many regulations for the ingredients that could be used in fragrances that's why is probably smells a bit differently. Another factor could be that from the vintage bottle the alcohol evaporated overtime and therefore the percentage of fragrance oil is higher than the modern ones.
Great comparison Ken, and thanks for the shout out, very kind of you....all the best...Paul.

Ive noticed on the new Old Spice, after its opened and sits around 3 or 4 weeks it gets stronger and when you put it on you can smell the stronger spicy smell for 4 or 5 hours
I enjoy all of your videos and this was another good one. I purchased the "new" Old Spice and you are absolutely correct, the scent is close but it's not the same as the original.

Hey Ken, just wondering if you've ever tried Old Spice's Whitewater after shave? I found it at TJ Maxx about a year ago, and absolutely fell in love with it. I believe it is an import, but can be found on Amazon. Love the videos, keep up the good work!
I like watching your video's as I'm just getting into real shaving at 35 most of my friends use electric or go to the barber's for a shape up or most have baby beards it's nice that I've found a good few people that share my love for real shaving and shaving products some old some new. Oh and thank you for the reply friend shout out from the UK 👊🏿

I grew up the late 60s-early 70s and my mom & dad would get me and my brother either Old Spice or Avon Wild Country colognes nearly every Christmas when we were kids. Loved that old time smell.
If you're watching this and have never worn Old Spice, then its recommended that you do, its a great old classic with a unique smell that won't disappoint. Well, I wear Old Spice "Original" the new stuff and I'm decently happy with it. The sillage, longevity, and projection are not brilliant after 2+ hours. So I'm refreshing it if I want to retain the frag on me throughout the day. Its a competitively priced aftershave, you get what you pay for and in that respect, I'll keep on buying it as I have done for the past 40 years. I have about 50 bottles of various EDT's, EDP's Parfums and Colognes and I still buy Old Spice Original when it runs out! Its an agreeable, un-generic, unique frag out there on its own, a timeless classic and so it should remain. Good review Kensurfs thanks a lot. 🎵💨🙂💨😋💨😎

I have been using nothing but witch hazel as an aftershave for years. I have to shave 5 days a week and recently bought some of the old spice aftershave. Is there any reason it makes my face feel smooth? I figured with the burn and all that it would severely dry my face out. The opposite is very much true.

yes, i love both old spice and brut.
I have a bottle of Old Spice (in a glass bottle) brought back from India, as well as one of Brut (likewise in a glass bottle) brought back from France and supposedly they still use the original formula for making the after shave in those countries...though I haven't any vintage samples to compare them by. Both are great, though. I'd be curious to know if the versions of either Aqua Velva or Skin Bracer easily available today compare favorably with those of bygone years.
great comparisons thanks!

Old spice original is the one you want, it’s different than the one you have. They make them in 3 different ones now I believe it’s the original, classic, and the cologne.

It's always hard to compare old with new when it comes to fragrance. Chemicals breakdown over time and change so a thirty year old bottle of fragrance is not going to have quite the same smell as it did on day one. I have seen some surprisingly short lifespans on some expensive bottles of cologne in the past and I think they recommend that three years is about the standard life span of a good quality scent and that is only if it has been stored away from direct light.

Once read that if you buy a new bottle of Old Spice after shave to put it in a attic over the summer to "age" it. I did that, left it up there for months over a very hot summer. Not sure if it did anything. Has anyone else ever heard of doing that or done it and what did you think of the results?
Has Old Spice Fresh been discontinued?? Cant find it anywhere!!

Actually i like it very much because it had a smell of manliness . Thank you !
I get a lot of attention with Brut Black. Nice and crisp. I like the classics; Old Spice, Brut, English Leather, Aqua Velva, and Giorgio of Beverly Hills.

I still remember when I got my first bottle of Proctor & Gamble Old Spice, it didn't quite smell right and was weak, the original Old Spice would last all day, the P&G crap was gone in less than an hour, I told my dad who used it also and found the same. That was about the same time Old Spice puck soap and cream disappeared off the shelves, that was around 1991. It was about that time dad and I found Col Conks and switched to the Bay Rum soap and aftershave, until it disappeared too.

I am turning into my dad more every day. I’ve been wanting to try Old Spice for a while so I bought some last month. Right off the bat I could tell it wasn’t the same and I did some research. It seems the company was sold a few years ago. The new stuff is okay but overwhelming when I first tried it. However, it tones down after a while but whatever new concoction they have come up with, I swear my poop now smells like Old Spice. I will probably buy more when this bottle runs out.

Ken, I think that’s a pretty accurate review of the two Bruts.
Did the UK version of Old Spice change? Its still in a glass bottle here. I distinctly remember buying it for my grandfather when I was young and it saying "Shulton - London Paris" or something along those lines on the back, it had a grey stopper and a yacht on the front. I bought a bottle recently from a supermarket for nostalgia sake and upon smelling it took me right back but since I havent smelled the Shulton one in a long time I cant say for certain if it's changed. Anyone from the UK have an Old Bottle they could compare?

Thanks for the reply. Really Enjoy your videos. Always loved the smell of Old Spice since I was really young (I dont think I was even 10 yet) but was never allowed to buy it for myself because it was an "Old Mans" scent, In fact I used to occasionally sneakily splash some on when I was in my grandparents house. Fast forward to a few weeks ago I was in a supermarket and saw the box on the shelf and immediately thought of my late grandfather, I decided what the heck and bought it. When I smelled it I was immediately taken back when I popped the lid off. I've been using it for a few weeks now and love it, every time I splash it on it gives me a warm feeling because I associate the smell with memory. Its really funny how something as little as a smell can evoke good memories.

Have you considered that the older aftershaves smell stronger than the newer version due to the alcohol evaporating over the years? The bottles are not sealed perfectly, and evaporation will occur. With the lower alcohol content, you are left with a less diluted amount of perfume oils. Not a higher volume of oils, but a higher concentration of oils per liquid volume.

i couldn't tell if your current version of Brut is the splash, aftershave or cologne. I know the splash only lasts minutes, so when you said you smelled it after one hour, I was surprised. I'm not sure if you read my detailed comments to PaulHFilm's Brut videos, but to save time (and my typing fingers), I'm going to copy and paste them here. I've probably done way too much research on the history of Brut, and have emailed them several times. I'm surprised you weren't crazy about Brut Dominant. It's one of my favorites. Everyone I know who tries it, loves it. Women also seem to love the smell. I've written Brutworld and suggested they make it in a cologne or Edt strength, but they seem to have discontinued it! I picked up a number of bottles off of Ebay at the beginning of the year as sellers were finding it in 99¢ stores on the west coast. It's a pity, because Dominant and Attitude (along with their Special Reserve) are the only ones they still produce in glass bottles OTHER THAN the big monster 25.6 oz. gift edition bottle of Brut Cologne. I would suggest getting that on sale as Brutworld emailed and said it's the only version currently produced THAT'S BASED ON THE OLD FABERGE FORMULA. It's quite strong and lasts a good while. The same can be said of Brut Special Reserve edc in the green glass bottle, but that has slightly different top notes. Here's the posts I made to PaulHFilms' videos. I hope it's of interest: Brutworld USA (Idelle Labs/Helen of Troy) has told me that the 25.6 oz. (757 ml). monster bottle of Brut on steroids in the glass bottle with the medallion that they issue as a gift box IS BASED ON THE ORIGINAL FORMULA BY FABERGE. I hope they're correct. You can see it here. I bought it over the holidays during a phenomenal sale (only paid US $14) and the scent is terrific and lasts for over 5 hours: scene7.targetimg1.com/is/image/Target/14605796?wid=480&hei=480 The splash on in the plastic bottle that you showed is about as strong as mouthwash. It's their weakest version. All the plastic bottles of Brut are made by Idelle Labs/Helen of Troy here in the USA. I had previously thought they were based on Brut 33, a weaker version of Brut issued by Faberge in 1968, but Brutworld said the plastic bottles are a different formula. Some say the Unilever version in the glass bottle is based on Brut 33, but I would have to ask Unilever if that's true. There's also a Brut Special Reserve sold in a glass bottle with a medallion here in the USA and it's stronger than the plastic bottle cologne, but it's a slightly different formula that smells like original Brut as it dries down. i.beautyspin.com/view/16/faberge/fbgbsrm_aedc30-02__7.jpg For those that want to enjoy an interesting discussion of Brut: frompyrgos.blogspot.com/2012/04/brut-classic-helen-of-troy.html Wikipedia has a brief history of how Brut came to be Brut 33 along with information on the sale by Faberge. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brut_(cologne) Here's the Paris site: www.brut-for-men.com/#!models/cee5, If you click on the first picture and keep clicking, it appears you have the EDT. What I'd like to know is if they mean by "original", is it the actual stronger version released in 1964, before they introduced the weaker Brut 33 in 1968, then sold the line to Unilever and Helen of Troy/Idelle Labs? The new owners are supposedly selling the weaker version around the world according to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brut_(cologne) For those that live in the UK, Pakcosmetics seems to have a 2 page selection of the Unilever made Brut aftershaves and EDT's, all in glass bottles: www.pakcosmetics.com/brand/brut/brut

Discovered Old Spice made in India is the exact formula used back in the day. Old Spice Lime is still available. Using a syringe, I refill my original glass bottles.
My father used to smell old spices and here in Honduras is impossible to find out. Very sad

What about jade east?
Now that I got Master well comb Topaz aftershave, I am thinking that there is a way to recreate or to get close to the original smell of Old Spice by Shulton. The more close version of Old spice by Shulton is the Old Spice Original made in india, by P&G, it comes into glass bottles by the way, it smells very similar, it is very spicy, but it is not as creamy or thick or soapy or powdery as the original, it feels that burns, it feels thinner. May be mixing this old spice made in india and Master Topaz you turn your old spice more close to the Shulton's formula (powdery, creamy, thick, Soapy, more gentle, etc.). May be starting with 80% OS and 20% topaz, and tryinig differente percentajes, but I think the mix should be good. The plastic bottle version availabe in America is less spicy and it is sweet, very different than the original formula. I prefer Splash than atomizer. Greetings from Mexico.
