Old Spice
What did your Old Man smell like?

My dad never wore cologne or aftershave. About the only "scented" products he applied to himself was whatever scent of deodorant he was using, Brylcreem, and Tinactin. So.... whatever that combination produces is probably my "old man smell".

My dad smelled like cigarettes and Old Spice.
Haha thats the one right there.
aqua velva in the late 70s & 80s. a little old spice later on, but mostly aqua velva. i recently picked him up a bottle of floid blue and he he'll never use another.
he's an extremely cool guy and an extremely smart guy and always knew how to look just right. perfectly groomed at all times without being weird or obsessive about it.

I think he smelled vanilla, a bit like Pinaud Classic Vanilla I believe.
Same here, cigarettes and Old Spice. Now, 14 years after he left this world...Old Spice is in my rotation, as is the old Ever Ready brush I found in his belongings. I think of him often, and wonder what he would say about my shaving habits!
The cigarettes...never. Cancer sticks.
My father smells like Sandalwood and Lavender most of the time. Two of his favorites.
Sun Up aftershave and Sir Walter Raleigh pipe tobacco.
Old Spice and smoke (cigarette). He was born in 1923.
My Dad smelled like British Sterling or English Leather when I was young. He has smelled like Royall Spyce and Grey Flannel for the last 20 or so years.
Brut.
He still uses it, and to be honest, I like it.
I would never use Tabac - that is just the king of "old man" smell.

Old Spice.
Marlboros -- And not the DR Harris kind.
My father use to use a variety of those old Avon after shaves.
NOW cigarettes and English Leather if it was something outside the house. I did not get a dollar for shining his shoes.
If we weren't heading out the smell included cigarettes but was ... different.

Cigarette smoke.
Borkum Riff pipe tobacco. He smoked pipes and Swisher Sweets cigars all through my childhood. If smells are memories then that is my fondest one. He is a Korean War veteran and dedicated much of his life to serving the community I grew up in. I couldn't be prouder of My Old Man.
If I could find a Borkum Riff scented soap, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

My dad smells of stetson cologne. He uses the original and every year for christmas I buy him a box set which lasts him and entire year. It was he who turned me on to Stetson black which has a very nice sandalwood scent.
