This is Ozzy Osbourne’s signature scent. About ten years ago in an interview with a newspaper reporter he said, “I use this cologne, and I have for many years. It's called Czech & Speake No. 88. People know I'm coming in the [expletive] room before I get out of the elevator. It's really a good smell.” I've got no more excuses. I must order a fresh tub of this soap now, along with new copy of Paranoid.
Really must sample this scent soon.
Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”

Good old Ozzy he may have actually drank or snorted it a time or two . I must admit the fact that he is still around amazes me. I never got the chance to see him in concert but still like to roll the windows down and crank up some Iron Man.
Go Blue!

And yes, it is completely amazing that he is still around and actually still an active musician. I remember reading an interview of his a long time ago, in which he said he was planning on retiring from the music business when he hits 40. Clearly, that didn’t happen, and good for him.

No. 88 (Czech & Speake) dark fruity rose & cassie
A deep, rich rose lies at the heart of this scent, but it’s fringed by a number of interesting side notes. One of these is cassie, an extract from the bloom of a variety of acacia. It has a flowery, fleshy scent that perfumers use to give their fragrances warmth, roundness, and body. A little off putting and perhaps too intimate, cassie may account for the ripe, almost skanky notes some users have noted in this soap.
