 not what it used to beDec 09, 2009
By C. Pedersen
"giantswife"
I Started buying this for my husband for 30 years and a bottle would last a long time because it was strong smelling a little went a long way and once on the smell lasted nicely all day.I was able to get it locally up until a couple years ago. Then my Mother in law found it in one the catalogs you get in the mail. She paid $40 for 4 oz and we were surprised when we received it it was in the wrong bottle it was in a Royall Lyme bottle and had very little smell. So I thought that I would try Amazon and see it if it was a fluke . Received it today and again its in the wrong bottle and hardly smell it, this is not amazons fault. But the company that bottled it have changed the formula this is a real disappointment.

 Great day after day use.Sep 08, 2007
By Thomas R. Clawson
"Perceval"
I've used this product for years, after every shave, simply because it does what an aftershave should be designed to do: instantly eliminate any post shaving irritation; be an aroma you really like, no matter how many times you use it; the aroma stays close to you, like a good poker hand; and be agreeable to those who get close enough to smell it.
Oh and by the way: Buying it through Amazon gets you a very good price.

How Sweet It Isn't...Apr 17, 2010
By Ambergris
"John Thomas"
Unfortunately I have to agree with some of the other reviewers here that feel that Royall Spyce (RS) has changed its formula. I first received a gift of RS over 25 years ago as a Christmas present from my wife. I had never smelled anything like it before. It was quite simply the finest most robust smelling cologne or after shave I had ever used before, or since. RS is expensive, and a little of it goes a long way, and along with my tendency to use it only on special occasions, it was quite some time before I used up my two, 2 oz bottles in the gift. After it finally ran out I bought a bottle of this all purpose lotion locally years back and found it to be as rich and as fragrant as the original bottles I had. Then last year I picked up another bottle of this very same lotion at an online fragrance store. There is no question in my mind that RS has reformulated this lotion into a much cheaper version of its former self. It just barely resembles what it used to smell like before in my opinion, plus it is no where near as strong or long lasting. The original RS in the days of old was a superior fragrance second to none. Unfortunately this is has become nothing but a cheap rip off, where they are also rubbing salt in the wound by charging you the original price. It wouldn't even be worth it for a far lesser price in my opinion. If you are a lover, or loyal follower of Royall Spyce, find an old bottle on Ebay or someplace like that, or just resign yourself to reminiscing of how sweet it WAS. This new kid on the block is definitely a thumbs down...

 Made in USA - Not From BermudaMar 26, 2010
By W. Williams
"Amazon Shopper"
This item is made by Royall Fragrances in USA under license. The original Royall Spyce is still made in Bermuda by the company Royall Lyme. This item is not the same as authentic Royall Spyce from Bermuda.
I just finished my old bottle (that was made in Bermuda) and opened the new one I had purchased from this listing. This one does NOT smell the same to me, and that is probably why some reviewers say that it is not what it used to be and smells different.
The listing should disclose that the item is made in USA.
I am going elsewhere to buy the real thing from Bermuda, which will run about $50 but is well worth the additional cost to get the original scent.

Somebody switched the formula!Sep 21, 2010
By John S. Wagner
I see that I'm not the first to notice something's amiss at Royall Lyme. At least I now know that I haven't lost my mind nor sense of smell. I've been wearing Royall Lyme and Royall Spyce for DECADES, but when the last of my annual supply was running out, I quickly ordered one 8oz bottle each of Royall Lyme and Royall Spyce DIRECTLY FROM ROYALL LYME, so I know I wasn't getting a counterfeit. The first thing I noticed when I opened it was, "Made under license in the USA" on the label. The second was a distinct lack of heady, fresh aroma from either bottle. It smelled more like scented rubbing alcohol. Royall Lyme was, without doubt, the finest men's fragrance in the world. Not anymore. Who at the helm of the company now? An accountant? Whoever it is, they should be sacked, the foreign license agreements cancelled and the original formula, MADE IN BERMUDA, reinstated.
