Splashes: Aqua Velva ice blue VS BRUT VS Old Spice (Classic)

[idan]

Which aftershave smells the best of the three?
many thanks

Faberge Brut is streets ahead, it is not even close; for me it is the greatest scent ever created by man - bar none

Three-way-tie.

AV followed by OS.

Can't stand Brut for some reason.

 

[Butch Waxx]

AV, OS, then Mennen Skin Bracer.

I don't like AV Ice Blue, but I like the AV Ice Sport. Old Spice isn't really my thing either. I've been sporadically using a bottle of Brut for about 20 years now, but it really messes with my wife's breathing for some reason. I guess I should toss it.

Kind of like voting for the best fast-food hamburger when you could be eating steak.

I probably reach for Brut most often but enjoy all three.

Brut. Then Old Spice. Then Aqua Velva Ice Blue.

This week anyway.

Aqua Velva hands down. I can’t separate the performance of these, for me, from the scent and AV is the only on that performs well for me.

You and I are on the same page with most things! Not this one I guess.

I think I had a really crappy gym teacher that wore Brut back in the 70's. The scent probably brings back bad memories.

Three-way-tie.

Agree, they're all classics for a reason. They should all three be in every man's shave den along with Skin Bracer.

My dad was never a Brut man, but Aqua Velva, Old Spice, and Skin Bracer were always on the shelf. And his dad was a pure Old Spice Man.

OS, Brut, then AV in my opinion.

 

[P-51G t]

Brut!
Old Spice is alright
AV I don’t like

 

[Balthier]

brut and old spice too close, but av ice blue is more a rare occasion unless you put sport on the end of that.

Aqua Velva Ice Blue FTW it's cool, crisp, and refeshing, Both Brut and Old Spice smell repulsive.

 

[Possum092]

Trick question, right?

All 3 of these classics are distinctly different.

I like Aqua Velva ice blue best.

My Dad liked old Spice, Brut and Skin Bracer. But after the reformulations he just does Skin Bracer now.

I asked Grandpa as a kid what he used? As I never saw any aftershaves laying around and he proudly said Aqua Velva.

Aqua Velva ice blue and Skin Bracer are my drugstore favorites.
