What do reviewers say about Old Spice Original and Rivertown Road?
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
Bay rum fougères play by old rules. This one doesn't. The lavender doesn't apologize, the cinnamon doesn't ask permission. Bold, opinionated, nothing like the mass-market stuff.Rivertown Road
