    What do reviewers say about Rivertown Road and 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
    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
