I had Sweet Honesty in a lamb-shaped bottle. Even at 11, I thought it was a bit cloying.

Had to vote 'no'.

The marketing guys at Old Spice are very aware of their image problem and have spent the last two decades trying to break the association with Old Spice being your dad/granddad's deoderant. The tall, cylindrical, dark-green packaging is gone (though the scent is still available in the new flat red dispensers as "classic scent"; most of their scents now target at the younger crowd like "Red Zone" to compete with Right Guard and Gillette.

But even the other scents retain some sort of distinct Old Spice base. I was wearing one of the more recent versions when my wife called me out for smelling like her grandpa.

I like the near endless possible permutations on this thread though: Does the smell of CKone remind you of an ex? etc.

Does the smell of Drakkar Noir remind you of high school dances?

aw man i didn't see this important poll!Old Spice *does* remind me of an ex! he was allergic to antiperspirant and so at the time old spice deodorant was the only kind he had found that he could use. don't think i didn't make fun of him for it. i mean, i was 18/19 and old spice was lol. it worked for him tho, somehow.
