Timing and geography was a necessary part, and this concept definitely bled into the storyline I am now realizing. You see, I needed some inspiration to get myself into the right head space, so I packed a bag and drove almost 8 hours to Zion National Park. There, fueled by crappy Holiday Inn coffee, I locked the door and got to work. While everyone else in town that Easter Weekend was enjoying the great outdoors, I stayed holed up, and highly caffeinated, with pen to paper, or rather fingers to keyboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eZion, much like Old Spice Fresh, also holds a special place in my heart. The last time I was there was September 2001, almost ten years after discovering Fresh and only a few days after 9\/11! It was a VERY strange time to be doing a road trip, as you can imagine. The mood was very, um, shall we say out of the ordinary? Much like then, this past Easter in the National Park while Covid 19 was still on the loose and mask mandates still in place, it was also very paranormal to say the least. So for someone like me, strange and atmospheric events meant conditions were just perfect to write in! I mean, this was a resurrection of sorts too, no? If you want depth, you must layer.

I was taking elements of everything around me and using them; Easter Sunday, the Religious Cathedral like atmosphere of Zion, the name Fresh and the Spanish equivalent, Fresco, and the stack of archeology and folklore books I had brought with me. The only time I left my room was for breakfast and dinner where I would do my research old school. Meaning utilizing the books I brought along. As hikers and outdoorsmen sat around me in the cafes with their gear loudly reliving their days adventures over beers and burritos, I sat unnoticed in the corner quietly, pith helmet on head, and once again looking like that awkward high school freshman with his bookbag spread out over the table in study hall.

Absolutely nothing, so far as I know! And yet this madcap trinity seems the only imaginary mashup that can adequately encapsulate the hair-brained sci-fi\/adventure that is Douglas Smythe's 'The Fresco Mystery'. Douglas writes with so much verve, such blatant gusto, such unrepentant jouissance that - well, I'm left flabbergasted. After knowing the man for full-on a decade, the wellspring of inspiration for Douglas Smythe's literature remains every bit as mysterious to me as the recipe of his transcendent shaving soap. Douglas Smythe, like 'The Fresco Mystery' itself, is an enigma. That is why we love him. And that is why with each new expression of his seemingly boundless, Wonka-esque creativity I simply clap my hands and say, \"Bravo, Mr Smythe! You go! Watermelon rinds, yes!\" Will 'The Fresco Mystery' make the New York Times Best Seller list? Be recommended reading in Oprah's Book Club? Win a Booker Prize?

I was also an under-tipped, overworked paperboy, and though the late 80's and early 90's offered many \"bold\" and timely scents,\u003cem\u003e I just couldn't afford them\u003c\/em\u003e. Honestly, at 14 or 15 I'm not sure I was even really looking for a fragrance when I discovered Fresh Scent, just innocently Christmas shopping. As soon as I walked into CVS my eyes landed on that iconic red, maritime themed, Old Spice Aftershave Gift Set on the shelf. Like individual bottled messages from the \u003cem\u003eGods of Frag\u003c\/em\u003e, there were 3 decanters tucked inside this cardboard chest; The Original Shulton's Old Spice in its traditional cream colored, porcelain bottle and smart grey plug positioned prominently dead center, but to each side of it like bookends, were two rather curious wonders! These bottles catching my fancy were similar in shape to the classic design, but instead of opaque earthenware, these vessels were clear and shimmery, like light dancing on the scales of an ancient sea creature! Needless to say the color of the liquid inside really popped, especially in the bright and festive holiday lights of the store. One contained an amber juice simply titled \u003cem\u003eMusk,\u003c\/em\u003e and the other offered a more mystifying blue fluid fittingly labeled, as I would find out later, \u003cem\u003eFresh Scent\u003c\/em\u003e. The idea of 3 scents to choose from for under $10 was very appealing to my meager newsie budget. So scents unsmelled but visually intrigued, I grabbed the box off the shelf and continued with my shopping. I can't recall what else I purchased that day but looking back now, this was really a pivotal moment for me in terms of life choices. #TrueStory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFresco Rouses The Senses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI gotta say I was not immediately a fan of the Original Old Spice at first, nor the musk, \u003cem\u003ebut boy oh boy\u003c\/em\u003e, when I pulled the plug out of the top of that glowing blue bottle of Fresh Scent something changed inside me, it was love at first sniff. Up until that point I was only really familiar with Drakkar, Polo, Guess, and Jimmy'z from the locker rooms. My best friend was really a huge fan of Drakkar, it was his signature scent and he was prone to overuse it.  I loved the guy but personally didn't care too much for the scent. Plus, it was like $35! But now with this sudden discovery of Fresh Scent everything changed! I sincerely believed it was a top contender in that adolescent world of head turning frags. It wasn't your daddy's aftershave splash, but mine. (Note: I was wrong about that daddy part it turns out...but you get the point.) -- With Christmas tips in hand, I promptly returned to the store the very next day and stocked up on Fresh Scent in cologne and aftershave form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike the all too basic name suggested, it certainly was Fresh...\u003cem\u003ebut oh so much more\u003c\/em\u003e. In my mind, Old Spice Fresh Scent opened a portal into something possibly Lovecraftian, possessing a primal yet, dare I say cultured energy that I had not really experienced before in a product. The way it wore during the day was simply spellbinding. It playfully begged you to follow it throughout a fleeting, blue velvet labyrinth as it danced out of reach like an unspoken teenage crush! I say fleeting, because that was its achille's heel. The one thing the pricey perfume house colognes had on Fresh Scent was staying power. Even the green colored Fresh Scent cologne sold in other kits wasn't very long lasting. What a shame it was...\u003cem\u003ebut that didn't stop me\u003c\/em\u003e. Like most young dudes, I kept it in my backpack and covertly reapplied the stuff throughout the day. Possibly over doing it myself. But again, this was mine, my own unique scent. At least in the age group I was in. Much to my embarrassment, there were more than a couple times a female classmate would turn around and accuse me of smelling like their dad. This often took the form of a cute girl that I may or may not have had a thing for, giving me a knowing look and mouthing the words \"Old Spice\". In shock that the opposite sex actually initiated contact with me, I would quietly mouth the word \"Fresh Scent\" and most certainly, awkwardly, nod while adrenaline flooded my system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow in my 40s, I thought the time had come to revisit Fresh Scent.

Do not confuse this for the stuff they currently sell under the same name or that other one, White Water (Sold in the UK).  Fresh Scent, like the Original Old Spice, is another Shulton's Formulation that often flew under the radar it would seem...\u003cem\u003ebut not mine!\u003c\/em\u003e Fresh Scent was not new to me. What I mean by that is, often, as a vintage aftershave collector, I will experience an old fragrance for the first time. That was not the case with Fresh Scent, \u003cem\u003eFresh\u003c\/em\u003e and I go \u003cem\u003ewaaaaay\u003c\/em\u003e back.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe year was 1991 and I was a skinny, little freshman in high school. I was also an under-tipped, overworked paperboy, and though the late 80's and early 90's offered many \"bold\" and timely scents,\u003cem\u003e I just couldn't afford them\u003c\/em\u003e. Honestly, at 14 or 15 I'm not sure I was even really looking for a fragrance when I discovered Fresh Scent, just innocently Christmas shopping. As soon as I walked into CVS my eyes landed on that iconic red, maritime themed, Old Spice Aftershave Gift Set on the shelf. Like individual bottled messages from the \u003cem\u003eGods of Frag\u003c\/em\u003e, there were 3 decanters tucked inside this cardboard chest; The Original Shulton's Old Spice in its traditional cream colored, porcelain bottle and smart grey plug positioned prominently dead center, but to each side of it like bookends, were two rather curious wonders! These bottles catching my fancy were similar in shape to the classic design, but instead of opaque earthenware, these vessels were clear and shimmery, like light dancing on the scales of an ancient sea creature! Needless to say the color of the liquid inside really popped, especially in the bright and festive holiday lights of the store. One contained an amber juice simply titled \u003cem\u003eMusk,\u003c\/em\u003e and the other offered a more mystifying blue fluid fittingly labeled, as I would find out later, \u003cem\u003eFresh Scent\u003c\/em\u003e. The idea of 3 scents to choose from for under $10 was very appealing to my meager newsie budget. So scents unsmelled but visually intrigued, I grabbed the box off the shelf and continued with my shopping. I can't recall what else I purchased that day but looking back now, this was really a pivotal moment for me in terms of life choices. #TrueStory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFresco Rouses The Senses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI gotta say I was not immediately a fan of the Original Old Spice at first, nor the musk, \u003cem\u003ebut boy oh boy\u003c\/em\u003e, when I pulled the plug out of the top of that glowing blue bottle of Fresh Scent something changed inside me, it was love at first sniff. Up until that point I was only really familiar with Drakkar, Polo, Guess, and Jimmy'z from the locker rooms. My best friend was really a huge fan of Drakkar, it was his signature scent and he was prone to overuse it.  I loved the guy but personally didn't care too much for the scent. Plus, it was like $35! But now with this sudden discovery of Fresh Scent everything changed! I sincerely believed it was a top contender in that adolescent world of head turning frags. It wasn't your daddy's aftershave splash, but mine. (Note: I was wrong about that daddy part it turns out...but you get the point.) -- With Christmas tips in hand, I promptly returned to the store the very next day and stocked up on Fresh Scent in cologne and aftershave form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLike the all too basic name suggested, it certainly was Fresh...\u003cem\u003ebut oh so much more\u003c\/em\u003e. In my mind, Old Spice Fresh Scent opened a portal into something possibly Lovecraftian, possessing a primal yet, dare I say cultured energy that I had not really experienced before in a product. The way it wore during the day was simply spellbinding. It playfully begged you to follow it throughout a fleeting, blue velvet labyrinth as it danced out of reach like an unspoken teenage crush! I say fleeting, because that was its achille's heel. The one thing the pricey perfume house colognes had on Fresh Scent was staying power. Even the green colored Fresh Scent cologne sold in other kits wasn't very long lasting. What a shame it was...\u003cem\u003ebut that didn't stop me\u003c\/em\u003e. Like most young dudes, I kept it in my backpack and covertly reapplied the stuff throughout the day. Possibly over doing it myself. But again, this was mine, my own unique scent. At least in the age group I was in. Much to my embarrassment, there were more than a couple times a female classmate would turn around and accuse me of smelling like their dad. This often took the form of a cute girl that I may or may not have had a thing for, giving me a knowing look and mouthing the words \"Old Spice\". In shock that the opposite sex actually initiated contact with me, I would quietly mouth the word \"Fresh Scent\" and most certainly, awkwardly, nod while adrenaline flooded my system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow in my 40s, I thought the time had come to revisit Fresh Scent. It has been almost 30 years and I needed to know if it still stood up. Having had a short life span of about 6 years (88-94ish), its absence left a hole in my life. All that was left were the memories of the fragrance and how it made me feel like a Greek God at the time. [Is that too dramatic, I ask thee?] \u003cem\u003eDid I dare revisit it,\u003c\/em\u003e especially now that scents were my bread and butter?

What I mean by that is, often, as a vintage aftershave collector, I will experience an old fragrance for the first time.

I was also an under-tipped, overworked paperboy, and though the late 80's and early 90's offered many \"bold\" and timely scents,\u003cem\u003e I just couldn't afford them\u003c\/em\u003e. Honestly, at 14 or 15 I'm not sure I was even really looking for a fragrance when I discovered Fresh Scent, just innocently Christmas shopping. As soon as I walked into CVS my eyes landed on that iconic red, maritime themed, Old Spice Aftershave Gift Set on the shelf. Like individual bottled messages from the \u003cem\u003eGods of Frag\u003c\/em\u003e, there were 3 decanters tucked inside this cardboard chest; The Original Shulton's Old Spice in its traditional cream colored, porcelain bottle and smart grey plug positioned prominently dead center, but to each side of it like bookends, were two rather curious wonders! These bottles catching my fancy were similar in shape to the classic design, but instead of opaque earthenware, these vessels were clear and shimmery, like light dancing on the scales of an ancient sea creature! Needless to say the color of the liquid inside really popped, especially in the bright and festive holiday lights of the store. One contained an amber juice simply titled \u003cem\u003eMusk,\u003c\/em\u003e and the other offered a more mystifying blue fluid fittingly labeled, as I would find out later, \u003cem\u003eFresh Scent\u003c\/em\u003e. The idea of 3 scents to choose from for under $10 was very appealing to my meager newsie budget. So scents unsmelled but visually intrigued, I grabbed the box off the shelf and continued with my shopping. I can't recall what else I purchased that day but looking back now, this was really a pivotal moment for me in terms of life choices. #TrueStory\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"It straddles the line between mature \u0026amp; modern...like old spice went to the spa...I like it, I really do.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ~\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIAmCDB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFresco Rouses The Senses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI gotta say I was not immediately a fan of the Original Old Spice at first, nor the musk, \u003cem\u003ebut boy oh boy\u003c\/em\u003e, when I pulled the plug out of the top of that glowing blue bottle of Fresh Scent something changed inside me, it was love at first sniff. Up until that point I was only really familiar with Drakkar, Polo, Guess, and Jimmy'z from the locker rooms. My best friend was really a huge fan of Drakkar, it was his signature scent and he was prone to overuse it.  I loved the guy but personally didn't care too much for the scent. Plus, it was like $35! But now with this sudden discovery of Fresh Scent everything changed! I sincerely believed it was a top contender in that adolescent world of head turning frags. It wasn't your daddy's aftershave splash, but mine. (Note: I was wrong about that daddy part it turns out...but you get the point.) -- With Christmas tips in hand, I promptly returned to the store the very next day and stocked up on Fresh Scent in cologne and aftershave form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“It has that old school spicy vibe with a little more smoothness to it.

In my mind, Old Spice Fresh Scent opened a portal into something possibly Lovecraftian, possessing a primal yet, dare I say cultured energy that I had not really experienced before in a product. The way it wore during the day was simply spellbinding. It playfully begged you to follow it throughout a fleeting, blue velvet labyrinth as it danced out of reach like an unspoken teenage crush! I say fleeting, because that was its achille's heel. The one thing the pricey perfume house colognes had on Fresh Scent was staying power. Even the green colored Fresh Scent cologne sold in other kits wasn't very long lasting. What a shame it was...\u003cem\u003ebut that didn't stop me\u003c\/em\u003e. Like most young dudes, I kept it in my backpack and covertly reapplied the stuff throughout the day. Possibly over doing it myself. But again, this was mine, my own unique scent. At least in the age group I was in. Much to my embarrassment, there were more than a couple times a female classmate would turn around and accuse me of smelling like their dad. This often took the form of a cute girl that I may or may not have had a thing for, giving me a knowing look and mouthing the words \"Old Spice\". In shock that the opposite sex actually initiated contact with me, I would quietly mouth the word \"Fresh Scent\" and most certainly, awkwardly, nod while adrenaline flooded my system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow in my 40s, I thought the time had come to revisit Fresh Scent.

It was even more pronounced and shapely than I remembered. Granted my palette for scent has evolved slightly, Fresh Scent is \u003cem\u003estill\u003c\/em\u003e something special and worth saving! So, with an even greater appreciation for this short lived, overlooked drugstore aftershave splash, I could now safely say that Old Spice really just got their timing wrong by more than 35 years!

I was also an under-tipped, overworked paperboy, and though the late 80's and early 90's offered many \"bold\" and timely scents,\u003cem\u003e I just couldn't afford them\u003c\/em\u003e. Honestly, at 14 or 15 I'm not sure I was even really looking for a fragrance when I discovered Fresh Scent, just innocently Christmas shopping. As soon as I walked into CVS my eyes landed on that iconic red, maritime themed, Old Spice Aftershave Gift Set on the shelf. Like individual bottled messages from the \u003cem\u003eGods of Frag\u003c\/em\u003e, there were 3 decanters tucked inside this cardboard chest; The Original Shulton's Old Spice in its traditional cream colored, porcelain bottle and smart grey plug positioned prominently dead center, but to each side of it like bookends, were two rather curious wonders! These bottles catching my fancy were similar in shape to the classic design, but instead of opaque earthenware, these vessels were clear and shimmery, like light dancing on the scales of an ancient sea creature! Needless to say the color of the liquid inside really popped, especially in the bright and festive holiday lights of the store. One contained an amber juice simply titled \u003cem\u003eMusk,\u003c\/em\u003e and the other offered a more mystifying blue fluid fittingly labeled, as I would find out later, \u003cem\u003eFresh Scent\u003c\/em\u003e. The idea of 3 scents to choose from for under $10 was very appealing to my meager newsie budget. So scents unsmelled but visually intrigued, I grabbed the box off the shelf and continued with my shopping. I can't recall what else I purchased that day but looking back now, this was really a pivotal moment for me in terms of life choices. #TrueStory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFresco Rouses The Senses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI gotta say I was not immediately a fan of the Original Old Spice at first, nor the musk, \u003cem\u003ebut boy oh boy\u003c\/em\u003e, when I pulled the plug out of the top of that glowing blue bottle of Fresh Scent something changed inside me, it was love at first sniff. Up until that point I was only really familiar with Drakkar, Polo, Guess, and Jimmy'z from the locker rooms. My best friend was really a huge fan of Drakkar, it was his signature scent and he was prone to overuse it.  I loved the guy but personally didn't care too much for the scent. Plus, it was like $35! But now with this sudden discovery of Fresh Scent everything changed! I sincerely believed it was a top contender in that adolescent world of head turning frags. It wasn't your daddy's aftershave splash, but mine. (Note: I was wrong about that daddy part it turns out...but you get the point.) -- With Christmas tips in hand, I promptly returned to the store the very next day and stocked up on Fresh Scent in cologne and aftershave form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLike the all too basic name suggested, it certainly was Fresh...\u003cem\u003ebut oh so much more\u003c\/em\u003e. In my mind, Old Spice Fresh Scent opened a portal into something possibly Lovecraftian, possessing a primal yet, dare I say cultured energy that I had not really experienced before in a product. The way it wore during the day was simply spellbinding. It playfully begged you to follow it throughout a fleeting, blue velvet labyrinth as it danced out of reach like an unspoken teenage crush! I say fleeting, because that was its achille's heel. The one thing the pricey perfume house colognes had on Fresh Scent was staying power. Even the green colored Fresh Scent cologne sold in other kits wasn't very long lasting. What a shame it was...\u003cem\u003ebut that didn't stop me\u003c\/em\u003e. Like most young dudes, I kept it in my backpack and covertly reapplied the stuff throughout the day. Possibly over doing it myself. But again, this was mine, my own unique scent. At least in the age group I was in. Much to my embarrassment, there were more than a couple times a female classmate would turn around and accuse me of smelling like their dad. This often took the form of a cute girl that I may or may not have had a thing for, giving me a knowing look and mouthing the words \"Old Spice\". In shock that the opposite sex actually initiated contact with me, I would quietly mouth the word \"Fresh Scent\" and most certainly, awkwardly, nod while adrenaline flooded my system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uneditable-style=\"margin\" data-inner-style=\"paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow in my 40s, I thought the time had come to revisit Fresh Scent.

All that was left were the memories of the fragrance and how it made me feel like a Greek God at the time.

I was also an under-tipped, overworked paperboy, and though the late 80's and early 90's offered many \"bold\" and timely scents,\u003cem\u003e I just couldn't afford them\u003c\/em\u003e. Honestly, at 14 or 15 I'm not sure I was even really looking for a fragrance when I discovered Fresh Scent, just innocently Christmas shopping. As soon as I walked into CVS my eyes landed on that iconic red, maritime themed, Old Spice Aftershave Gift Set on the shelf. Like individual bottled messages from the \u003cem\u003eGods of Frag\u003c\/em\u003e, there were 3 decanters tucked inside this cardboard chest; The Original Shulton's Old Spice in its traditional cream colored, porcelain bottle and smart grey plug positioned prominently dead center, but to each side of it like bookends, were two rather curious wonders! These bottles catching my fancy were similar in shape to the classic design, but instead of opaque earthenware, these vessels were clear and shimmery, like light dancing on the scales of an ancient sea creature! Needless to say the color of the liquid inside really popped, especially in the bright and festive holiday lights of the store. One contained an amber juice simply titled \u003cem\u003eMusk,\u003c\/em\u003e and the other offered a more mystifying blue fluid fittingly labeled, as I would find out later, \u003cem\u003eFresh Scent\u003c\/em\u003e. The idea of 3 scents to choose from for under $10 was very appealing to my meager newsie budget. So scents unsmelled but visually intrigued, I grabbed the box off the shelf and continued with my shopping. I can't recall what else I purchased that day but looking back now, this was really a pivotal moment for me in terms of life choices. #TrueStory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFresco Rouses The Senses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI gotta say I was not immediately a fan of the Original Old Spice at first, nor the musk, \u003cem\u003ebut boy oh boy\u003c\/em\u003e, when I pulled the plug out of the top of that glowing blue bottle of Fresh Scent something changed inside me, it was love at first sniff. Up until that point I was only really familiar with Drakkar, Polo, Guess, and Jimmy'z from the locker rooms. My best friend was really a huge fan of Drakkar, it was his signature scent and he was prone to overuse it.  I loved the guy but personally didn't care too much for the scent. Plus, it was like $35! But now with this sudden discovery of Fresh Scent everything changed! I sincerely believed it was a top contender in that adolescent world of head turning frags. It wasn't your daddy's aftershave splash, but mine. (Note: I was wrong about that daddy part it turns out...but you get the point.) -- With Christmas tips in hand, I promptly returned to the store the very next day and stocked up on Fresh Scent in cologne and aftershave form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLike the all too basic name suggested, it certainly was Fresh...\u003cem\u003ebut oh so much more\u003c\/em\u003e. In my mind, Old Spice Fresh Scent opened a portal into something possibly Lovecraftian, possessing a primal yet, dare I say cultured energy that I had not really experienced before in a product. The way it wore during the day was simply spellbinding. It playfully begged you to follow it throughout a fleeting, blue velvet labyrinth as it danced out of reach like an unspoken teenage crush! I say fleeting, because that was its achille's heel. The one thing the pricey perfume house colognes had on Fresh Scent was staying power. Even the green colored Fresh Scent cologne sold in other kits wasn't very long lasting. What a shame it was...\u003cem\u003ebut that didn't stop me\u003c\/em\u003e. Like most young dudes, I kept it in my backpack and covertly reapplied the stuff throughout the day. Possibly over doing it myself. But again, this was mine, my own unique scent. At least in the age group I was in. Much to my embarrassment, there were more than a couple times a female classmate would turn around and accuse me of smelling like their dad. This often took the form of a cute girl that I may or may not have had a thing for, giving me a knowing look and mouthing the words \"Old Spice\". In shock that the opposite sex actually initiated contact with me, I would quietly mouth the word \"Fresh Scent\" and most certainly, awkwardly, nod while adrenaline flooded my system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow in my 40s, I thought the time had come to revisit Fresh Scent. It has been almost 30 years and I needed to know if it still stood up. Having had a short life span of about 6 years (88-94ish), its absence left a hole in my life. All that was left were the memories of the fragrance and how it made me feel like a Greek God at the time. [Is that too dramatic, I ask thee?] \u003cem\u003eDid I dare revisit it,\u003c\/em\u003e especially now that scents were my bread and butter?

I was also an under-tipped, overworked paperboy, and though the late 80's and early 90's offered many \"bold\" and timely scents,\u003cem\u003e I just couldn't afford them\u003c\/em\u003e. Honestly, at 14 or 15 I'm not sure I was even really looking for a fragrance when I discovered Fresh Scent, just innocently Christmas shopping. As soon as I walked into CVS my eyes landed on that iconic red, maritime themed, Old Spice Aftershave Gift Set on the shelf. Like individual bottled messages from the \u003cem\u003eGods of Frag\u003c\/em\u003e, there were 3 decanters tucked inside this cardboard chest; The Original Shulton's Old Spice in its traditional cream colored, porcelain bottle and smart grey plug positioned prominently dead center, but to each side of it like bookends, were two rather curious wonders! These bottles catching my fancy were similar in shape to the classic design, but instead of opaque earthenware, these vessels were clear and shimmery, like light dancing on the scales of an ancient sea creature! Needless to say the color of the liquid inside really popped, especially in the bright and festive holiday lights of the store. One contained an amber juice simply titled \u003cem\u003eMusk,\u003c\/em\u003e and the other offered a more mystifying blue fluid fittingly labeled, as I would find out later, \u003cem\u003eFresh Scent\u003c\/em\u003e. The idea of 3 scents to choose from for under $10 was very appealing to my meager newsie budget. So scents unsmelled but visually intrigued, I grabbed the box off the shelf and continued with my shopping. I can't recall what else I purchased that day but looking back now, this was really a pivotal moment for me in terms of life choices. #TrueStory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFresco Rouses The Senses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI gotta say I was not immediately a fan of the Original Old Spice at first, nor the musk, \u003cem\u003ebut boy oh boy\u003c\/em\u003e, when I pulled the plug out of the top of that glowing blue bottle of Fresh Scent something changed inside me, it was love at first sniff. Up until that point I was only really familiar with Drakkar, Polo, Guess, and Jimmy'z from the locker rooms. My best friend was really a huge fan of Drakkar, it was his signature scent and he was prone to overuse it.  I loved the guy but personally didn't care too much for the scent. Plus, it was like $35! But now with this sudden discovery of Fresh Scent everything changed! I sincerely believed it was a top contender in that adolescent world of head turning frags. It wasn't your daddy's aftershave splash, but mine. (Note: I was wrong about that daddy part it turns out...but you get the point.) -- With Christmas tips in hand, I promptly returned to the store the very next day and stocked up on Fresh Scent in cologne and aftershave form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike the all too basic name suggested, it certainly was Fresh...\u003cem\u003ebut oh so much more\u003c\/em\u003e. In my mind, Old Spice Fresh Scent opened a portal into something possibly Lovecraftian, possessing a primal yet, dare I say cultured energy that I had not really experienced before in a product. The way it wore during the day was simply spellbinding. It playfully begged you to follow it throughout a fleeting, blue velvet labyrinth as it danced out of reach like an unspoken teenage crush! I say fleeting, because that was its achille's heel. The one thing the pricey perfume house colognes had on Fresh Scent was staying power. Even the green colored Fresh Scent cologne sold in other kits wasn't very long lasting. What a shame it was...\u003cem\u003ebut that didn't stop me\u003c\/em\u003e. Like most young dudes, I kept it in my backpack and covertly reapplied the stuff throughout the day. Possibly over doing it myself. But again, this was mine, my own unique scent. At least in the age group I was in. Much to my embarrassment, there were more than a couple times a female classmate would turn around and accuse me of smelling like their dad. This often took the form of a cute girl that I may or may not have had a thing for, giving me a knowing look and mouthing the words \"Old Spice\". In shock that the opposite sex actually initiated contact with me, I would quietly mouth the word \"Fresh Scent\" and most certainly, awkwardly, nod while adrenaline flooded my system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-inner-style=\"paragraph\" data-uneditable-style=\"margin\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow in my 40s, I thought the time had come to revisit Fresh Scent. It has been almost 30 years and I needed to know if it still stood up. Having had a short life span of about 6 years (88-94ish), its absence left a hole in my life. All that was left were the memories of the fragrance and how it made me feel like a Greek God at the time. [Is that too dramatic, I ask thee?] \u003cem\u003eDid I dare revisit it,\u003c\/em\u003e especially now that scents were my bread and butter?

What I mean by that is, often, as a vintage aftershave collector, I will experience an old fragrance for the first time.

I was also an under-tipped, overworked paperboy, and though the late 80's and early 90's offered many \"bold\" and timely scents,\u003cem\u003e I just couldn't afford them\u003c\/em\u003e. Honestly, at 14 or 15 I'm not sure I was even really looking for a fragrance when I discovered Fresh Scent, just innocently Christmas shopping. As soon as I walked into CVS my eyes landed on that iconic red, maritime themed, Old Spice Aftershave Gift Set on the shelf. Like individual bottled messages from the \u003cem\u003eGods of Frag\u003c\/em\u003e, there were 3 decanters tucked inside this cardboard chest; The Original Shulton's Old Spice in its traditional cream colored, porcelain bottle and smart grey plug positioned prominently dead center, but to each side of it like bookends, were two rather curious wonders! These bottles catching my fancy were similar in shape to the classic design, but instead of opaque earthenware, these vessels were clear and shimmery, like light dancing on the scales of an ancient sea creature! Needless to say the color of the liquid inside really popped, especially in the bright and festive holiday lights of the store. One contained an amber juice simply titled \u003cem\u003eMusk,\u003c\/em\u003e and the other offered a more mystifying blue fluid fittingly labeled, as I would find out later, \u003cem\u003eFresh Scent\u003c\/em\u003e. The idea of 3 scents to choose from for under $10 was very appealing to my meager newsie budget. So scents unsmelled but visually intrigued, I grabbed the box off the shelf and continued with my shopping. I can't recall what else I purchased that day but looking back now, this was really a pivotal moment for me in terms of life choices. #TrueStory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis stuff had to be Extra Sport Strength...\u003cem\u003eand it is\u003c\/em\u003e.

Not only do these folks enjoy fragrances and traditional wet shaving but also, like me, sci fi\/adventure tales! It is with these fine folks in mind that we decided to do the recent episode right...and publish a book. Yup, I wrote a book, a book called The Fresco Mystery. Now I know that we also released a book with Hotel Cecil, but that's more of a down home, novella booklet deal. The Fresco Mystery is the real deal. Coming in at almost double the page count in Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol', this latest installment is for the true fans of the Phoenix Shaving Universe!

Timing and geography was a necessary part, and this concept definitely bled into the storyline I am now realizing. You see, I needed some inspiration to get myself into the right head space, so I packed a bag and drove almost 8 hours to Zion National Park. There, fueled by crappy Holiday Inn coffee, I locked the door and got to work. While everyone else in town that Easter Weekend was enjoying the great outdoors, I stayed holed up, and highly caffeinated, with pen to paper, or rather fingers to keyboard. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eZion, much like Old Spice Fresh, also holds a special place in my heart. The last time I was there was September 2001, almost ten years after discovering Fresh and only a few days after 9\/11! It was a VERY strange time to be doing a road trip, as you can imagine. The mood was very, um, shall we say out of the ordinary? Much like then, this past Easter in the National Park while Covid 19 was still on the loose and mask mandates still in place, it was also very paranormal to say the least. So for someone like me, strange and atmospheric events meant conditions were just perfect to write in! I mean, this was a resurrection of sorts too, no? If you want depth, you must layer. This holds true in perfuming as well as in story-telling. So please read with this in mind and a willing suspension of disbelief.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFun Fact\u003c\/strong\u003e: Though not mentioned outright in the story, Evil CUBE's name is Tyrian!

I was taking elements of everything around me and using them; Easter Sunday, the Religious Cathedral like atmosphere of Zion, the name Fresh and the Spanish equivalent, Fresco, and the stack of archeology and folklore books I had brought with me. The only time I left my room was for breakfast and dinner where I would do my research old school. Meaning utilizing the books I brought along. As hikers and outdoorsmen sat around me in the cafes with their gear loudly reliving their days adventures over beers and burritos, I sat unnoticed in the corner quietly, pith helmet on head, and once again looking like that awkward high school freshman with his bookbag spread out over the table in study hall. In this surreal environment I would take notes and fantasize, then head back to my room like a masked hermit!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"What do Flash Gordon, David Lynch, and Pee-Wee Herman have in common? Absolutely nothing, so far as I know! And yet this madcap trinity seems the only imaginary mashup that can adequately encapsulate the hair-brained sci-fi\/adventure that is Douglas Smythe's 'The Fresco Mystery'. Douglas writes with so much verve, such blatant gusto, such unrepentant jouissance that - well, I'm left flabbergasted. After knowing the man for full-on a decade, the wellspring of inspiration for Douglas Smythe's literature remains every bit as mysterious to me as the recipe of his transcendent shaving soap. Douglas Smythe, like 'The Fresco Mystery' itself, is an enigma. That is why we love him. And that is why with each new expression of his seemingly boundless, Wonka-esque creativity I simply clap my hands and say, \"Bravo, Mr Smythe! You go! Watermelon rinds, yes!\" Will 'The Fresco Mystery' make the New York Times Best Seller list? Be recommended reading in Oprah's Book Club? Win a Booker Prize? Yeah, maybe... when Deus Porta is re-opened and the free will of humankind is rescinded by the ancient gods.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ~ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRyan Steven Green, Filmmaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLast Fall I had read a rather favorable review of the Hotel Cecil story by Mantic 59 on the Sharpologist site. In it he had compared the story to Doctor Who, a comparison I had never heard before nor entertained but thought I just might explore that idea this time around. Being that Sci Fi is my genre of choice I understand what he meant but it was never my intention, but now I thought I'd go there, or at the very least, go to England. So that is how Stonehenge ends up really being the backdrop of this latest romp. Everything else just magically fell into place! That is also all I shall reveal at this point.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSo with all that said, I hope you purchase a copy of the book! It is available in paperback and in ebook files (Epub,Mobi and PDF)! Supporting this effort will inspire me to continue writing, well...books!
