I have a pack of the original Newport bath soap as well as the reformulated version in cologne. They are completely different, and I like both, but I don’t understand why people always have to speak negatively about reformulations. The “new” Newport is bright, fresh, aquatic, musky, and clean. A typical modern “blue” scent, but a very nice one at a good price point. Who cares if it smells like many others? It is what it is.
The original is a powdery barbershop scent with a deep “brown” undertone. It has a lot in common with Caswell Massey’s Jockey Club. It is distinctly old fashioned.
Caswell Massey almost went under completely in 2011. They had to jettison a lot of their lines. At least Newport is still around in some form. It just smells like the ocean now instead of “the beach”.

Liked the original Newport much better than current. Why must we reformulate? Same with Canoe, much better then than now. Next they’ll reformulate Jean Patou’s Joy to smell like Poison (Raid).

As a disclaimer, let me say that I’ve never tried the original Newport, so in no way am I writing this out of anger at reformulation…it sounds like it must have been pretty different! The new Newport smells like every free sample vial I’ve ever gotten from every e-tailer in my life…i.e. Exceptional Because You Are, Perry Ellis America, those types of things. A fresh citrus aquatic at first that goes greener and muskier for a while, then dries down spicy and woody. Cheap-smelling at all stages, and feeling to me like it’s trying to cover all the categories in one blend and failing miserably. Longevity is medium-short, though it’s not actually that weak while it’s still going. It’s very hard for me to remember more details about how it smells because it changes so much, and all the stages are generic.

Having been born and raised here, we had to try it when it came out.
It was nice, fresh and citrusy, slightly complex but not like Newport’s vibe and not sea-breezey.
My Mom wore it, my dad felt it was too ‘pretty’ and delicate on him.
It’s a good sort of quick morning spritz on a temperate late spring, early summer day.
