A fear of common scents.


Since 1938, Old Spice has been one of the most popular colognes in America. To my mind, nothing smells better or cleaner. But since it is not that costly and lacks snob appeal, one often gets a look of disdain at merely mentioning it. Nevertheless the men who have the confidence to wear what they like will realize that most women adore the smell of Old Spice. I would get more compliments for OS than any of the prestigious and costly colognes (and men's colognes are costly). It's a great and classic cologne with a distinctive bottle which has been little changed over the past 72 years (it originally featured a variety of renowned sailing ships not the yacht logo featured on today's bottle). Today I noticed a commercial for yet another wonderful classic fragrance that terrifies cologne snobs: Aqua Velva. If either of these scents weren't great, they wouldn't have lasted so long. So there, Calvin Klein!
