    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
    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
