In anticipation of fall's arrival, the Old Spice Fallidudes collection is dropping to introduce three personality-packed scents, each defined by a unique character. Alongside Pumpking, who fans have already been introduced to, there's Apple Crumbro, which bottles the crispness and coziness of apple cider, and Frankenstud, another new persona embodying "a monstrously vanilla pistachio scent." Leaning into the season's signature moments, this collection of scents feels like autumn itself, speaking to some of the quintessential rituals men enjoy, like football tailgates, gathering around a bonfire or savoring cinnamon-spiced food.
The character-inspired autumn scents from the Old Spice Fallidudes collection can be experienced for a limited time in select aluminum-free deodorant sticks, antiperspirant, body wash and 2-in-1 shampoo + conditioner.
