This scent is exactly like it sounds; Old Spice with a note of gunpowder added. As a long-time Old Spice user, I love it! The Holy Black also got the scent strength for the aftershave spot on. It doesn’t have the takeover-the-room scent level that the real stuff has, but is medium-strong by today’s standards. This is a nice nod to the past. I was planning to use my Shulton Old Spice today, and may use it for my SLS, but Gunpowder spice provided a very satisfying shave.
