Good god. Have you ever actually smelled Old Spice? Jesus.
I make my own aftershave these days (I've never been tempted to use 'bodywash,' whatever that is. How is it different from, um...soap?) but back before I did I used to use stuff called Agua de Parma. It's made by an Italian company that went out of business in the 80s, during the first great wave of 'manly' scents. Anything floral or pleasant came to be thought of as too faggy for Manly Men, leading to todays overbearing musk-junkies, the kind who smell so manly they make your eyes water if you get on an elevator with them.
Anyway, Cary Grant used to use Agua de Parma. I figured I'd rather smell like him than Koby Bryant.
