- Once upon a time this was the very best deodorant out there but just a few months ago they changed the formula and now its terrible. Please leave a comment if you have experienced the same thing as me.
*update 6/21/16* I found an awesome replacement that I have tested for several months and it is perfect. It is Degree Men Motion Sense Dry Spray - Sport Defense. This has been working perfectly for months. Can be bought online, or at Walmart, target, or Kmart, or other stores.
This is the first UA-cam video that has affected me enough to cause comment. I completely agree with the video's creator and have sent my complaint to Old Spice.
Im with you man , its not the same
Man I thought I was going nuts thinking "what they hell is this baby powder smell this isn't old spice" thanks for the video, I'm surprised there isn't more people disappointed with this. Wrote in to old spice as well and will be returning my pack to Costco. What were they thinking changing this, I can't believe their QA team smelled this and said "yep that's a winner right there".
I agree with you 100%. Brian
Wow dude you made a chanel just for this. Hats off to you.
Agree 100% with this video and every comment here! I want my old Pure Sport back!
I wrote Old Spice as well. They wrote me back and said yes we changed it, and sent me some coupons. Unbelievable that they would change this scent. It was an incredible scent, and I was constantly being complimented by people about it. And now I have like 10 different deodorants from different brands which all suck compared to the old Pure Sport scent.
Peter Dietrich have you find a deodorant just like this one?
Try degree arctic edge or intense sport
I like it
I've been using Pure Sport since the 90s and suddenly realized this just doesn't work any longer, so I googled "what happened to Pure Sport" and i ended up here. Pure Sport was so damn good there was no need for cologne, smh.
@@dahbajanman7044 The Pure Sport bar soap is friggin' wicked. Great scent if you can find it.
I noticed the same thing and am having the exact same issue as you, your story is a mirror of my own. it is clearly a new recipe it's a powdery pure sport now and i hate it!!
The worst part is that appearantly is burns people now
Including myself
Same experience. Used Pure Sport for years and only recently got my first batch of the thinly-scented new version which doesn't smell nearly as good as the old version. The old version smelled stronger, but that was not a bad thing. It seemed just right. I hope they bring back the old formula.
I just started using pure sport and it smells fine! How good the original pure sport was!
10 times better from the current one, old spice deluded the old formula they made it cheaper to cut costs and they didn’t tell the consumers about it.
This deodorant is good but Volcano is better
I'm glad you made this video. I was laying in bed the other night after I just got out of the shower. and realized I smelled awful. I new right away my deodorant was not the same. This is a big deal for us guys because there's not A lot of choices of deodorant like there are for girls. I never liked anything better than old spice now I'm extremely upset.
What do you mean? There is a lot of choices for men
THANK YOU. I've been a loyal Pure Sport user for 15 years or so. There is definitely a noticeable difference in the scent. I think it smells like old lady perfume.. awful. If anybody finds a similar scent, let us know!
some of the speed stick deodorant does I cant remember exactly which scent though
Will have to check 'em out. Thanks!
your welcome glad I could help

I completely agree! I didn't even realize the scent had changed much, HOWEVER, I began breaking out with severe rashes under my arms. Painful and ridiculously itchy, which had never happened in the past. I thought it was just ME, however after looking online I see there have been other cases. So disappointing because they HAD a great product. Now I can't find anything I like much. I've tried other variations of O.S. but I get the terrible itchy, burning rash back every time I start using their products again.
Great vid, totally agree and felt the need to voice support. It's 2020 now, nothing has changed, and it's apparent that comments/concerns/pleas from the loyal customer base have fallen on deaf ears. Time to find something not made by P&G. : (
for me I first noticed the smell would wear off and I would need more. Then a few months ago I started having a terrible rash. Im glad im not the only guy that thinks the formula was changed :(
nic guild yeah I’m trying to figure out if it is the old spice deodorant (not antiperspirant) or if it’s pure sport. I wore it today at school and it went 4 hours before I could smell a little bit of bo through the smell. I sweat a bit, but the scent should probably last a little more than 4 hours. Do all of the blue non antiperspirant deodorants do this?
I'm in the same boat, been using this since the 90s. I figure since they didn't make a grand announcement about a "New and Improved" formula, the new scent is the result of cost-cutting measures, and therefore unlikely to change back. As much as I dislike it, I'm simply going to vote with my wallet and find something new. I am surprised there's not more outrage about how Old Spice went about making this change though.
+Zachary Kulzer You got it. They most definitely changed it to save money -- they would have said something otherwise. I have a suspicion this is due to all the reports of chemical burns, but who knows. I've switched to Degree Men Arctic Edge. Smells great. Different, but great.
I'm with you. As loyal as I am to Old Spice, I can't say their deodorants are great. I still use the body washes and soaps but I switched to Degree antiperspirant in my mid 20s when I realized Old Spice wasn't holding up.
I encountered the new formula today. I just finished sending an email to Old Spice complaining. Like you, I have used Pure Sport for over ten years and I am so incredibly pissed. I even dug my old one out of the trash to compare. The "new" one is embarrassingly bad.
It smells like diapers now. Another loyal customer lost here
+Justin Montgomery yea fuck old spice. another loyal customer lost here too. dipshits.
Me too but i got right guard xtreme defense 5 arctic refresh and it feels better than pure sport
It smells like the woman’s powder fresh. Ick
Lost a customer because of one scent? Lol
We have soft solid old spice pure sport in my country and it smells like the "real" pure sport deodorant and not that on the video.
With you all the way man. Have used the same stuff for 10 years and I just went out and bought a new twin pack of what I thought was my same-old same-old, and suddenly it's nearly unwearable because of the awful scent. Found your video while trying to find out if this was intentional. No documentation anywhere! If they were gonna change it, they should at least have noted it on the packaging or made it a "new" scent! I don't know what I'm gonna do as a replacement.
I've only been using Pure Sport for about a year, but when I opened up the new stick recently I IMMEDIATELY knew there was something off. I thought I was crazy or that my sense of smell had changed or something. I had my roommate come and smell it and compare it to an old one I had in a travel bag. He confirmed the same. I'm pissed because I bought 2 twin packs a few months ago and now It's probably too late to return them to the store (I don't even remember which store) and so I have to pitch them and find a new deodorant. Thank you for making this video though. Now I know it isn't just me.
You were right they did change their formula , then people started to have severe burns in their pits !!
You're not alone! These bastards screwed us. I switched to Degree Men Arctic Edge. They changed the formula, and it smells like powdered hand soap. Even if they brought it back, I'm not buying them ever again. Bye bye Old Spice.
I made the mistake of buying a double "value pack" of the newer version :'(
Gave it away.
I totally agree I love the old stuff... I thought it smelled so good I wished they made a cologne out of it. the new stuff is total crap and doesn't last very long either.
Me also like it g
Here I am all these years later still looking for another deodorant. I haven't used Old Spice since the formula was horribly changed and still haven't found a deodorant as good as the Pure Sport once was. Thanks Old Spice. I'm not sure why they think men want to smell like perfume and flowers.
you are right,I've used old spice close to 30 years and my father many more years,our experience with the new old spice had an even worse affect on both my father and I,it gave us terrible rashes
I also changed deodorants. This was a good deodorant, switched to Degree Cool Rush. Happy so far!!
This new deodorant sucks. I agree. It needs to be fixed. I hate this new stuff. I used the pure sport for years and now I hate it. They need to bring the old formula back.
I bought a bunch of the Pure Sport a while ago and LOVED it--it smelled incredible. I recently bought some more, and it smells like dish soap. I am really disappointed.
Just after making the below comments to your video, I left to go shopping and pick up an online order I made at a local variety discount chain called "Big Lots" and saw the old version on the shelves there! Snapped up three of them. You might try ordering it on Big Lots online...Good luck!
Thought I was crazy, guess not. Bought my two pack and knew something was off. Now Im trying to use my old one down to the slightest sliver.
same for me! Now I don't know what to use
Ridiculous that they changed the ingredients now I have to find a new deodorant that smells right.
Yeah, i don't care about the size, all the companies do that, they reduce the size of the products. But yes, the stinking smell is huge issue. I can't remember how long i've been using it for - at least 15 years. And i also tried different ones. The pure sport was ideal.
Old Spice, this is not fair to the loyal customers. Loosing another one. Please bring the original formula back. I don't even mind paying little extra for it
Opened up a new deodorant I had sitting on the shelf for a few months and it smelled weird. I figured it went bad or something so I went to the store and bought a different one. I smelled it in the store and it smelled like what Pure Sport used to smell like so I bought it. Went home and used it and nope, new formula. Smells like baby products and doesn't work as well as the old formula. Googled it and your video was the first thing that came up. I'm going to write to P&G now.
This is what happens when companies hire company men thinking by changing the formula and cutting down costs will increase more revenue.
Something happened and it’s not good, I started using it in 2006 and it was great. Later I noticed the change in scent and thought that it’s a knock off. Happy to learn from you that procta and gamble messed up and my dilemma is now resolved. I can finally move on. Only problem is that I have to purchase many deodorants to figure out a perfect replacement.
Agree 100%. Thought I was going crazy. But glad too see it's not just me. Not going to buy a single stick of this anymore. The least they could do is make a Pure Sport classic, or something to that effect.
I just recently got the Pure Sport body spray, and all the girls at work have not been able to stop complimenting me on how good I smell... I swear!!
The Body Spray is the bomb. Also, if you can find an old glass bottle of the Pure Sport aftershave, buy it. It's also wonderful.
did you find something to repalce it?
I hate it hate it hate it hate it, i don't understand why would they change something that was so good.
The shit making my armpits peeling TF?!
Omari The People Me to...hurts now.
Same boat, been using exclusively since the 90s. Just opened a new pack today. Smell is different and cheap. My pits feel like they're burning as well which was never a problem before. I knew something was suspicious when I saw Pure Sport on clearance at the store back a few months ago. Guess time to find a new deodorant.
I just recently got the Pure Sport body spray, and all the girls at work haven't been able to stop complimenting me on food I smell... I'm not even joking!
My husband used it one time and now has a horrible rash! Taking it back to the store and asking for a refund. I encourage all of you to do the same. Everyone should take it to the store and return it even if you only get store credit because you don't have a receipt. Once the company gets all those returned bad ones, they will get the message!,
Don’t use red one of blue one use the clear or white
P&G certainly DID change the formula for their "Original" high endurance deodorant and the new formula smells noticeably different and almost medicinal to my nose. In addition to shuffling the order/quantities of ingredients, it seems that P&G removed the skin-conditioning, *anti-microbial* C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate and replaced it with a different skin-conditioner called Dimethicone. Here is the full ingredients listing for each...needless to say P&G has lost another loyal, long-term customer over this formula change.
"Old Spice Original High Endurance" - 2015 formula:
Active Ingredient: Aluminum trichlorohydrex Gly 1.7%
Inactive Incredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, stearyl alcohol, C12-15 alkyl benzoate, PPG-14 butyl ether, talc, hydrogenated castor oil, petrolatum, fragrance, mineral oil, behenyl alcohol
"Old Spice Original High Endurance" - 2016 formula:
Active Ingredient: Aluminum trichlorohydrex Gly 1.7%
Inactive Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, stearyl alcohol, mineral oil, dimethicone, talc, petrolatum, hydrogenated castor oil, PPG-14 butyl ether, fragrance, behenyl alcohol.
Donald Penn Good breakdown of ingredients but that’s the (antiperspirant) deodorant ingredients, not the deodorant only (blue stick) he’s talking about.
I came by this video because I was saddened by the loss of the real original Old Spice Aftershave. It is not as spicy and intense as it used to be. It is a powdery close relative of the original AS and now in crappy plastic bottles. At least with the deos PG have admitted they changed the formula, but not with the "classic" AS. They claimed they haven't changed it at all! I suspect the reason for so many changes is the fact that the EU has passed new regulations on the uses of fragrance oils as well as reduced the amounts that are EU- legal in each fragrance category. Every classic scent has been reformulated to meet the new legal standards...from Eau Savage to Old Spice to Brut.
I used Pure Sport for over 20 years with no issues as well then... just a few years ago it started to give me a rash like a chemical burn. I agree with you for sure! It is trash now.
I just opened up a new twin pack yesterday, put some on and was like, wtf is that smell, this isn't pure sport. I opened up the other stick in the twin pack and the same nasty smell. It makes me think of the smell when a baby gets a new diaper on.
If they're going to change the smell, they need to let the public know, or at least call this deodorant something else because it isn't pure sport anymore. I don't think I'll buy any more old spice products after they pulled this off.
I'm in the same boat your in, I thought pure sport smelled better than other stuff by far, and have been using it for years. Now I'm stuck trying to find another product. This is really infuriating.
It's terrible now. I can't stand the new smell. I used to get compliments on how good I smelled with the older one. I won't even use it now.
Late to this thread but I’m with y’all. To me it has more of that classic scent mixed in. I’ve also used this deodorant for 20 years.
They changed it again! I liked the 2020 version
Still looking for the original Old Spice High Endurance Pure Sport High Endurance. It was the only thing I packed in my gym bag, at home, and a spare one in the office... for years until 2015 or sometimes something changed. Ever since then the "new" formula just smells awful.
Hope the people in P&G find back their lost formula.
Just need it again.
Since they started with their new ads the old spice scents hasn’t been the same old good ones
It’s funny because I was thinking for years that it was just me. I noticed this right away (also I’m one of the people that gets burns from the new formula). I really wish they would change it back.
Same thing, wrote them a letter. Threw away the sticks and shopping for a new brand.
I like how this is the only video on your channel🤣
Been using this religiously since I was 13... now 38...You’re 100% right I had the same problem ... Scent turned to shit .. I used to have women sniff my armpits for how good it was...
Glad to know. Just sent a tweet out to my audience. Think a Social Media storm is best way to get their attention. Hit their bottom line.
Yep, me too. I've been using it forever, and a few months ago it stopped working. Now, I start to notice that I smell like BO about half way through the day. It really sucks. I would probably be better off just going without deodorant.
Martin Mullen I got one of the mini ones from the dollar store and it isn’t antiperspirant. It was a good deal don’t get me wrong, but I had higher expectations. I wore it to school today and I’m lucky I keep the stick in my backpack. 4 hours went by and I could smell my bo through it. It was perfect down the shore where there was a breeze and the weather wasn’t too bad, but in my hot school the stuff didn’t stand a chance. The smell isn’t the best, but it’s still a fresh, pleasant smell. I won’t wear it to school anymore. I guess I’ll just use it down the shore hahaha.
I've gone through the same thing.. I liked pure sport, but I have always been an original old spice guy. I work in manfufacuring... and that world has been messed up from young engineers with "great ideas" to make the company more money, just to come and go, they fuck a good thing up and leave, but the original scent has changed too. The aqua reef is my go to now, it holds all day through 12-16 hours of sweat and smells good as well, but nothing compared to the old, old spice
I started using the fresh scent version of old spice in the 90s too as I watched a news story on the link between aluminum and alzheimers. Now I make my own. Shea butter, charcoal, coconut oil, and magnesium hydroxide rather than irritating baking soda. Safe, natural, and good for you as long as you don't overdo the oil. Arrowhead powder or corn starch for thickening and beeswax if you want a solid to go in a stick, but I prefer the paste without beeswax
your soo soo right. i use to love that stuff.. made u smell great without colonge..
I could have delivered this rant word-for-word. I used Pure Sport High Endurance for something like 15 years, and now it smells like baby powder. I submitted a comment on their feedback form (pgconsumersupport.secure.force.com/ContactUs/emailus?brand=Old+Spice&country=United+States+of+America&language=English-US). We'll see what they say.
Their branding these days is all about manliness and attractiveness to women. My wife says I don't smell like me anymore. TOTAL fail.
I started using this stuff back in 2010 and i loved it ever since, i havent nessesarily noticed a change in scent, but rather it doesnt even last remotely as long as it used to. Before i would put it on in the morning, go to work, go to my night classes and play basketball and when i came back the smell was still as strong as it was in the morning. Now i need to reapply it every 5 hours and its annoying
same exact thing happened to me with champion. it smells nothing like the old stuff. I even have an old one to compare to it. but every one smells the same. I miss it so much and I can't find any other deodorant or brand that satisfies me now
I had bought in bulk and finally ran out this week. I thought something was off when I gave it the ol smell test that I do EVERY SINGLE TIME I buy some more but just chalked it up to the store I was in.
Got home, threw some on, and realized I smelled like a mix of Pure Sport, Original Old Spice, and diapers/baby powder. What the actual fuck. Where can we find some original recipe Pure Sport? Since I started wearing deodorant I've been wearing Pure Sport. I wanted to be like my dad who wore Original Scent, but with my own edge. I've become known by my scent..now my life is a sham.
Fuck proctor and gamble
old spice is falling apart
pure sport used to be the best. now it's shit
I like the Old Spice classic Original Scent it smells really good
Absolutely! I came across your video while i was googling to see what happened. I used this stuff for 20 years, nothing was as good. JUST bought some more and its completely different! It doesnt smell anything like the old one. So...what the crap, why would you have the same name for a different scent? It smells bad. AND the old one lasted all day. One application in the morning lasted till the next morning. Now it doesnt last the whole day, have to reapply at evening. CHANGE IT BACK! NOW!!
I thought I was crazy. They totally changed it. This sucks! I too have used this deodorant since the mid 90s.
I've noticed that over the months they seemed to have switched the formula again, it went from an ok scent, to a sour apple kind of smell.
Dude - exact same thing has happened to me. Gives me terrible rashes and smells slightly different. Fuck that!
I use pure sport for my deodorant, body spray, body wash, and and pure sport head and shoulders shampoo
I totally agree! I will make the call to them. However the old spice fresh. Still the same. Just that pure sport.
is there another deodorant that is close to the old formula of the pure sport ?
While I *did* really like Pure Sport, most of why I ended up using Pure Sport exclusively for so many years was because, after trying countless other deodorants, it was the first and only one that didn't bother me at all.
Which brings me to Old Spice "Captain". And the same thing happened: after trying out *everything* from AXE and from Old Spice, etc, I found "Captain" (which just by pure chance to also happened be from Old Spice) that didn't bother me at all, with a pleasant, simple scent.
It smells more like Pure Sport than the rest, but I'm not going to say it smells a lot like it. But again, the fact that I've found another scent (out of the probably 40-50 that I've tried says quite a bit about it. You may not love it like the original Pure Sport, but I'd say there's a fair chance it might smell good to those who loved the old P.S.
This is a channel that was entirely made just for the purpose of putting this video out, lmfao.
Anyone else experience the horrible under arm rash after using this product? Maybe this should be a class action lawsuit!,
This is weird. Just experienced this. What!
I am a person who if when buying a product it meets my expectations I will buy it again. It is a shame that brands (especially deodorants) do this and that they do not inform their customers, simply eliminate products, reformulate them or stop being the same as before. To avoid this, what I do is buy deodorant for 1 year. That way if the manufacturer changes his product I still have my favorite fragrance for months.
Bring back the old school Old Spice!
it was the best and now it is terrible - like deodorant you'd find at a dollar store
I used to wear the swagger scent for a while until I noticed the smell wasn’t the same. Unfortunately I believe the big corporations care about the money and not the product. They’ll go the cheap route.
I agree. FIX IT, AND RELABEL IT "ORIGINAL RESTORED"
Gotta get that 10 minute mark
Yes it's changed, I HATE IT NOW. WHY?! Old spice confirmed with me, this is their response:
"Thanks for contacting Old Spice, Peter!
I’m sorry to hear about your recent experience with the Pure Sport Antiperspirant. It’s frustrating to spend money on something, only to discover that it suddenly smells different! We want you to always be pleased with your Old Spice products and I’m sorry that wasn’t the case.
I have done some further research for you and we did, in fact, make some minor changes to the formula of this product. I have been assured that before this change was made, testing was done with people like you who love our product and they found the scent to be a close match. This is a routine practice as we keep up with consumer preferences and other product requirements. The overall notes of the scent haven’t changed, but there are some slightly different undertones. In your experience, it clearly is not a close match and I apologize for that. I am sharing your comments with the rest of the team, letting them know that you’d like to have the original scent back!
Since your satisfaction means a great deal to us, I want to make this right. I have sent you four coupons good toward your future purchases. They will arrive via postal mail within 2-3 weeks. Perhaps you’ll find a new favorite.
We value your loyalty and are delighted to have you as part of our Old Spice family. I hope you’ll give us another chance. Have an awesome weekend!"
The body spray went from 4.0 oz to 3.75 oz last I checked. Getting low on it. Hope the Body Spray version isn't effed too...
It was a great deo that didn't burn the pocket but unfortunately only get to use it once and the new ones are horrible plus it gave me itching.
What is Old spice thinking? I don't mind if they increase the price here.
Used it for years then major failure. Never irritated my skin, but now does, and doesn't work.
Companies are all about profit, and much less about customer satisfaction. Companies do change things for example when the product is too expensive to make or when they are getting sued (they were on this product and probably removed aluminum). They downsize products to sell more to keep profits up.
Suing companies for this is lunacy because everyone has different sensitivities and they usually say if it irritates your skin, quit using it.
It may be that they wanted to boost sales on more profitable product lines like Secret (which also irritates my skin). Maybe it just lasted too long so they weren't getting enough sales, so they cheapened it. This all happens.
A similar thing happened to the Faberge Organics shampoo several decades ago. It was the number one seller and rated #1 by Consumer Reports, and not too expensive. An investor purchased the company and it was soon off the market. No one knows what happened but it may have been too competitive to other companies invested in by the same investors, so maybe the guy had investments in other companies whose sales were suffering so ended it.
This is the way money people think.
Same exact thing happened to me - even buying the dove ones to try and replace it. Unfortunate. Any good alternatives?
Old Spice Playmaker is pretty good if you like the antiperspirant (white solid). I'll have to try the "solid" version of Pure Sport because I've worn that enough times to know if it's changed. Thanks for the tip.
Michael Nowak I cant use Old Spice “stick” deodorant. Burns me pits.
thanks, I was thinking maybe I was sweating too much but doesn't last long. What I read is that it was causing cancer. The best thing is to wear chalky white deodorant. My underarms started smelling within an hour. Again if you sweat a lot you need chalk white deodorant. Seriously why would you pay for this when you can buy Speed stick the cheapest deodorant.
I agree with you!!!My old spice is gone too!!!Riiiiiiooooooootttttt!!

i always thought swagger was pretty good but i agree the pure sport stinks.
Fast food companies do that shrinking crap too. Some sandwiches today should be called sliders
I’m a kid I got mine from dollar tree mine smells like baby powder and diapers
Can someone tell me what old spice doesn't burn the armpits i really want to buy old spice but im scared of burning my armpits because people always tell me it burns their armpits...?
I bought it for the first time 2 days ago and my arm pits are on fire. Threw it in the garbage
@@HappyLife-tg8yy Thanks a lot you saved me from these fuckin garbage products!!!
Speed Stick is pretty good and relatively cheap
I feel like I just got the new scent and I was fucking floored.
