Old Spice Whitewater

Whitewater by Old Spice. Probably the best cheap perfume ever. Spicy but fresh. It's like a combination of cinnamon and fresh summer notes. All year around, masculine barbershop style perfume. I dare to say that it was better than the original Old Spice. Unfortunately the eau de toilette version is discontinued. Too bad. I am still looking for something to replace it but I haven't found anything yet similar to this.

The best fresh and aqua fragrance EVER made! This use to be my all time favorite and go-to signature fragrance. So heartbroken that this has been discontinued and there has been NOTHING like it since. I wish they would bring this back, it really needs to come back!! :(

I wore this years ago and got lots of compliments. When people asked me what it was and I told them Old Spice they laughed because they didn't believe me. Can't remember what it smelled like except it was fresh and clean. Loved it back in the day.

I am reviewing an early 2000s bottle of Old Spice Whitewater by Procter & Gamble. The blue juice in the clear glass bottle with that distinctive Old Spice shape and bottle stopper is well presented, and I remember attracted me to this flanker when I saw it on the shelf years ago. Old Spice Whitewater is a fresh aquatic scent, less spicy and warm than the original, but some of that Old Spice barbershop DNA is still in there. Some of the spicy and floral notes of the original are present in Whitewater, but are toned down with an increase in the citrus and woody notes. The result is a very pleasant scent that I dare say is more contemporary than the original and consistent with the blue fragrances of the 1990s that were popularised by Cool Water (1988). I enjoy wearing Old Spice Whitewater after a shave as it gives a fresh, clean feeling without the heavier, spiciness of the original Old Spice. Although I would describe it as a fresh, aquatic version, it is still a barbershop scent. However, I would say it is a barbershop that many younger men may feel happy to wear. Old Spice Whitewater lasts about 4 hours on my skin and projects moderately well initially, settling close to the skin after about 2 hours. Overall it is a good fragrance that will probably be appreciated more by those of us who have some appreciation for the original Old Spice. Unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued as I can no longer find it either in stores or online. The Whitewater brand is still used in Old Spice deodorants, but I am not sure if the scent is the same as this cologne. This flanker took the original Old Spice and made it more contemporary and fresh and so I would have thought that it should have remained in production.

I am convinced that this was relaunched in 2004 as Pure Sport. I have bottles of each and could not tell them apart if blindfolded. Some believe Pure Sport has licorice. I know what they're detecting...it isn't licorice itself but some spice combo that resembles it). At any rate, that exact same accord is also in my bottle of Whitewater. They're the same juice and neither one is great.
