    What do reviewers say about Canoe and Old Spice Original?

    This fragrance has oakmoss and powder and a 1936 backbone. Some call it dated. Others call it honest. If you've been searching for something that smells like heritage instead of hype.Canoe
    A fragrance that smells like Sunday morning, a fresh razor, and a drawer of white undershirts. It's been doing this since 1938. The warm spice heart rewards the patient.Old Spice Original
