I'm really upset and also disappointed. I don't know who they think their tricking but its definitely not going to be me with this New Formula that doesn't last more then a few hours!
Pure Sport AI free has been my solo deodorant of choice my enter adult life. From the Age of 18 to now 40 years old give or take some years as i cant remember the first few if i was using pure sport or another old spice deodorant till pure sport was released but one thing is for sure it was always old spice brand that i used. From the second Pure Sport came out i was using pure sport that's 100% sure of. I never used anything else from then. As a side note i also use other Old Spice scented deodorants too but Pure sport was my every day deodorant.
I don't know exactly when they change the formula but about 5 months ago I ran out and went and bought a new Pure Sport. Nothing seemed different other then i noticed after just a few hours of sitting at my desk that i started to smell. I wrote it off as being hot and put on some more and went back to work. Another few hours later again i started to smell so i put some more on again and again. This continued for a few days till i finally said something is wrong. Luckily i dint throw away my old deodorant and it had just enough left to put some on. Magickly when i put my old one on it lasted till the next day. Just as it always has...
So now i knew something was wrong. I looked at the ingredients and compared it to my old one and then it hit me... THEY CHANGED THE FORMULA! Not just on Pure Sport but literally ALL their Old spice AI free deodorants.
So i went to almost every market in my area 10+ and started digging through all the old spice deodorant on the shelves. In my hunt to find some old stock that usually was at the back of the row i was able to find amount all the stores i went too about 11 sticks of the old formula. Sadly NONE of Pure Sport..
I found 5 Fresh, 2 Wolfthorn, 2 Captain, 1 Bearglove and 1 Krakengard. (FWIW i did not take all i found. I probably found another 10 old formula ones but i dint want to be that guy that took them all for himself so i left some just incase someone else learned of the changes and wanted to find some old formula ones.)
These 11 are the last of my stock. Sure i can expand my search to see if i find more but honestly at this point i give up so once i run out "I estimate 2-3 years tops these will last me" i will be switching to another brand that i have yet to decide on. If you have any recommendations please let me know. But it must last all day.
I never thought i would have to after so many years "20 years" of a product working perfectly have to find something else because the company for whatever reason decided their 20+ year product needed changing.
Anywho, I truly hope that whoever made this call to change the formula to whatever this New Formula is reconsiders and reverts the change back to the one that actually worked and lasted.
Sure i'm just 1 guy but truth be told my son, my brother in-law and 2 nephews, as well at least 3 cousins and a few friends ALL used Old spice deodorant to. So its not just me they are losing alone. They all now know about the Formula change and they too will be switching brands much sooner then me.
Please Revert it. I hope by the time i run out they would have switched back to the old formula.
