Old Spice

Old Spice is an American brand of grooming products. Best known for its deodorants and antiperspirants, it also includes aftershaves, shampoos, body washes, and soaps. The brand has been marketed with a nautical theme, with sailing ships (originally the Grand Turk and the Friendship) appearing on the packaging. Ads for Old Spice typically end in a memorable whistle jingle (heard in the video above). Father of actor Matthew Perry (Chandler on Friends), John Bennett Perry appeared as the sailor in Old Spice commercials in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Actor Isaiah Mustafa (It Chapter Two) starred in a long-running Old Spice campaign called “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like,” in which ads often ended with the non-sequitur “I’m on a horse” as the camera zoomed out to reveal Mustafa atop a horse. In 1990, the brand was purchased by Procter & Gamble.
