Nobody is stopping men from smelling line vanilla or lavender.

I smell like Product The Supermarket Will Drop In Two Weeks.

I’m a man and don’t like most scents of the deodorants/antiperspirants “for men”, so I just use one “for women”. I smell fruity instead of some agressive chemical fragrance.

Its annoying that every mans product is “whiskey barrel” or “bourbon wood” or whatever, yet smells NOTHING like whiskey. Its just a word used to describe generic “guy scents” so they dont have to call it ‘bergamot lavender neroli allspice’.

That’s not entirely true. We can also get smells named after types of wood, metal, or alcohol.

I was at the grocery store with my brother in law and saw some guys girlfriend giving him shit over the men’s scents for body wash.

“Men’s stuff all smells like wood. Why?!”

Without skipping a beat, I ran over, picked up a bottle and said “whoa, I want to smell like wood”

Girlfriend glared daggers at me, as apparently I had just diffused the debate of the century, while her boyfriend was giving me thumbs up and smiling.

For the rest of the day, my brother in law and I would respond to everything with “smells like wood”

My favorite concept is Unscented.

I’m a man and my deodorants are either lemon or sage.

Just stop buying shit.

Cool sport rush smells like mint. The bottle is black and the sticker has a wave of some sorts printed on it(the added surfer is optional). The gel is blue if its a fancier brand.

You buy it because you are doing sports but manly and sweat really manly. Only a cool sport rush can help against that. Its pretty obvious idk

edit: the bottle can be dark blue with silver applications on the sticker too! ngl this shit is more complex than i thought!

I’m male but I use women’s/gender-neutral deodorant and hygiene products because men’s tend to be more chemically and smell like dudes in the locker room who stand too close to you. They also dry my skin out.

Like, why are all the good hygiene products marketed towards women? Of course men’s are cheaper, because they’re shit.

I like herbal scents and use the Arm & Hammer deodorant.

I genuinely have no idea what Sandalwood is. Presumably a new type of tree developed by scientists to give men something to smell like.

It’s often dumb too, there is nothing denoting plant smells as to one gender. The smell of flowers, of herbs, is not something one sex appreciates more than another.

Only in the modern era with the advent of drugs and the destruction of small farmers and even most vegetable and herb gardens, with 99 percent of produce coming from factory farms, has it been seen as weak and womanly for men to use herbal medicines, and to appreciate flowers and herbs and the like.

For thousands of years we used plants for medicine, and now it’s seen as womanly, and of course the drug companies have campaigned to remove our rights to do it completely, for our own protection. We could hurt ourselves, leave it to the trained professionals that operate on the rules government stipulates. As if we could all get medical coverage and drug coverage in this medical hellscape even if we did surrender our rights to treat ourselves.

I don’t think I should have to get a permission slip from a doctor to do things all generations prior to the last few have.

I don’t mind smelling like Swagger

When it is a real thing is always like Tobacco, Bourbon, leather, or some kind of burnt wood.
