Old Spice has been giving out the samples to elementary school students for at least a decade now. My boyfriend got it in his personal hygiene goodie bag in 6th grade and to this day uses Old Spice. I’ve noticed that quite a few guys my age (early to mid-20’s) use it.

I like it. It helps that I’ve never associated the smell with people my parent’s age, just boys my own age.

Unscented - and just a little of this:

I think it’s this one, or L’Eau d’Issey, it turns my head.
