The first Old Spice product, a fragrance called Early American Old Spice for women, was introduced in 1937, closely followed by Old Spice for men in 1938. The Old Spice products were manufactured by the Shulton Company that was founded in 1934 by William Lightfoot Schultz. The earliest of the men's products were dominated by shaving soap and aftershave lotion. Early American Old Spice was developed around a colonial theme. Procter & Gamble purchased Old Spice from the Shulton Company in June 1990. More recently, P&G has introduced many forms of deodorant sticks, body washes, and body sprays in several scents under the Old Spice brand. Old Spice is now the No. 1 antiperspirant/deodorant stick and body wash brand.
