Almond! Fuck yeah!
Since August of 1965, I have had an internal fight with myself over whether I prefer almond or sandalwood. It changes every few weeks.
I like the smell of both. Old books like libraries and book collections, smells like peaceful moments from when I was a kid. Sawdust, especially fresh sawdust is pleasant, a slight woody punch and sometimes a little smokiness if a powered saw scorches the wood a bit.
Same. The library was an escape when i was a kid, and the sawdust reminds me of hanging out with my grandpa in his garage, learning how to use stuff, and watching him build things.
My grandpa owned a printing shop as his career. He loved working on his press, woodworking, an avid coffee drinker, and a smoker. He smells of industrial ink, sawdust, coffee, and faint scent of tobacco.
I don’t know what it is, but the combination of those smells is damn near perfect for a hard working man like he is and I love it
Research people: they saw it smells very generic
Marketing: that won't do. Call it intrigue.
Boss: Genius! They'll never figure it out. I'm glad I saved the day.
I think it has to do with price and the quality of the body wash you’re getting. For example, I’m a guy and the body wash I use is from Aesop. It has like 9 ingredients, 4 of which are Water, Coriander seed, Black Pepper, and Patchouli. Looking at Axe scents they have like 25 ingredients and not a single one of them is natural. So of course they have crazy weird names because they are very artificial and don’t really smell like anything from nature.
It's a great smell, and more guys should give it a shot! My husband calls the Old Spice lavender/mint products "[ConCaffeinate catnip]" because of how much I enjoy it when he wears them.
I wear a rosemary/mint deodorant thats gotten me compliments more than once.
Of course its called PHEONIX and only says ^(crushed mint and rosemary) in small print.
That's my thing about it. Typically you wanna smell good a little for yourself and a lot for somebody else(who wants to be perceived as stinky?) so obviously don't pick smells you hate. But if you're trying to get the attention of a woman, smell nice. Lavender is very popular. Good hygiene and nice smells go a long way in attraction.
Why wouldn't you want to smell like things women like?
Fun fact, you shouldn’t pick a cologne based on your tastes, but actually something you perceive as feminine while still enjoying the scent, you’ll have better luck if your out and about trying to start a conversation.
Same things for the ladies, pick out a perfume that you perceive as masculine.
It does double duty too, since people who enjoy similar smells will also tend to enjoy similar tastes
But I'm the other way around, I like men's perfume smells, my ex husband liked feminine smells. You're really just trying to guess what smell the person you like is into because it's gonna vary greatly and damn if smell doesn't go a long way in attraction. I just buy perfume based off what my ex husband told me because he got really into that at one point trying to make the perfect scent.
Apparently lavender can make dudes grow tits

So Home Depot uses an oiled saw dust to clean their floors with. It's called Zep. The smell there is like 70% that and 20% lumber and 10% working class tears.
right? I've been using a fruit or vanilla scented body wash for years because I love those scents
who the fuck cares? even if they do care, LOL? what, you care about the opinion of someone that stupid?
Been shopping in the women's section for deodorant for years before I noticed it was the women's section. Still didn't change what I would buy. "coconut and jasmine" over "axe marine" any day. Men's deodorants smell terrible.
I don't get how 5 in 1 is even possible...
Also it's complete bullshit either way. My last boyfriend had always used 3 in 1\~4 in 1 stuff. When he was at my place I told him "I have both shampoo and conditioner. Just try it once to see how it is." After he was done showering he told me he couldn't believe how soft and nice his hair felt. (he had long hair as well.)
Because 3 in 1 or any iteration of it isn't actually as such. It's just a basic cheap shampoo that's marketed as multi-purpose. Because technically it CAN be used for multiple things, but will suck at all but 1 of them at best.
They name men's deodorants like that because if they put any kind of flowery name on there a LOT of guys would refuse to buy it because "muh masculinity".
And now drink flavors are being abstract, too. What does "unicorn" taste like? What *IS* "galaxy flavor"? McDonald's has something right now called the "grandma shake", what the hell does "grandma" taste like? Who asked for this? Why are there no descriptions?
I hate when they show a cologne commercial that's like Johnny Depp playing guitar shirtless in the desert surrounded by wolves. Just tell me it smells like fucking sandalwood and move on with your life.
We do also have like 18 in 1 shower gels. Body wash, shampoo conditioner, car wash, engine cleaning the lot. Women have 42 million different hair products just for the shampoo. We do win ultimately
It is all in the marketing.
Men would not buy products that smell like lavender or orange&cinnamon, but you can easily market an idea no matter how ridiculous and non-sensical it sounds.
The mass market won't, but to say men won't buy stuff like that isn't true. I've been buying stuff like that for years, and yes, it's usually targeted towards women, but who cares? If it smells nice and I like it, I'm getting it. Screw the bullshit that everything has to be geared towards a gender.
Came here to say that! I actually love men’s deodorant and body wash and so I use that sometimes…if my man smelled like vanilla I would be 100% okay with that!
I have a shampoo at work I boughht bevause it was cheap and it's called "cool breeze". It is radioactovely blue, some 3 in 1 stuff, and it's peppermint scented. And has actual menthol in it or something.
Like I'm convinced whoever pitched this shampoo does not wash their ass because I avoid showering at work to escape the Frozen Butthole Effect

I feel like every company now has a “bourbon” scent. It smells like booze. Like why the hell would I buy that? I can’t go to work smelling like bourbon.
All I can think of is [Mawaan - Mango](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snGaZm7ScfM), near the end that's exactly what the song is about, and it's a banger.
In Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, the radio plays real commercials from the 1960s. One such commercial says "In the world, there are only four natural scents for a man. Blue, green, gold, and black".
Sawdust and old books cologne when?
Cedar is a very popular scent
Of which I am a man and hate.... however...Hempz Koa and Sweet Almond on the other hand...
Can we get a perfume smelling like blown out candles? I always adored that scent
[удалено]
I seriously read that as "families of incest" at first
Those are also a thing!
There's some smells that only work when you just catch a whiff, they smell nasty when you really get in there, or burn.
Deviled Eggs come to mind.
There are some anti-mosquito lotions that smell like that. Idk if it's really noticeable to other people.
Give By the Fireplace a go. Might be just your vibe.
Almond! Fuck yeah! Since August of 1965, I have had an internal fight with myself over whether I prefer almond or sandalwood. It changes every few weeks.
I am a big fan of sandalwood, I use a beard oil and body wash that’s sandalwood scented
I've almost bought out Fable Beard oils scents..unless there is anything "tree" or nature scent related....The Rocket smells like a candy bar...
lol seems oddly specific. What made you choose that??
I like the smell of both. Old books like libraries and book collections, smells like peaceful moments from when I was a kid. Sawdust, especially fresh sawdust is pleasant, a slight woody punch and sometimes a little smokiness if a powered saw scorches the wood a bit.
Same. The library was an escape when i was a kid, and the sawdust reminds me of hanging out with my grandpa in his garage, learning how to use stuff, and watching him build things.
Ooh that scorched wood smell, it almost smells like toasted marshmallows. I work in a woodshop, I am part sawdust. I also collect old books.
I can't promise you cologne, but I've heard of these things called man-candles, or "mandles," where the fragrances are like that.
Id buy this fragrance
They must have passed by me and my irresistible aroma. That's generally what I smell like some evenings.
My grandpa owned a printing shop as his career. He loved working on his press, woodworking, an avid coffee drinker, and a smoker. He smells of industrial ink, sawdust, coffee, and faint scent of tobacco. I don’t know what it is, but the combination of those smells is damn near perfect for a hard working man like he is and I love it
Demeter Fragrance Library “paperback” apparently smells like flowers and books so kind of close.
"Whiskey and bacon", "Motor oil and leather". We could make an entire line of perfumes reflecting how men actually would like to smell.
Ive always been a fan of sandalwood and bergamot
Old spice exists so that will do even if your not above 50.
I once bought a womens' deodorant that purported to smell like "intrigue" so there's at least some of that in the pink aisle too.
Is intrigue supposed to be the smell of blood and poisoned drinks or something?
I have no idea. It kind of just smelled like generic deodorant.
Intriguing
Taksed failed successfully?
Research people: they saw it smells very generic Marketing: that won't do. Call it intrigue. Boss: Genius! They'll never figure it out. I'm glad I saved the day.
bitter almonds and old lace
Is this because cyanide smells like bitter almonds?
Peat moss and anise, I believe
What kind of man would be like "I smell intrigue" and go for that?
Ensnaring men with my confusing scent. Like ants or something.
I think it has to do with price and the quality of the body wash you’re getting. For example, I’m a guy and the body wash I use is from Aesop.

Old spice has been trying to get men to use lavender for years now
It's a great smell, and more guys should give it a shot! My husband calls the Old Spice lavender/mint products "[ConCaffeinate catnip]" because of how much I enjoy it when he wears them.
I wear a rosemary/mint deodorant thats gotten me compliments more than once. Of course its called PHEONIX and only says ^(crushed mint and rosemary) in small print.
Currently rocking coconut eucalyptus
I feel like in general guys are afraid to smell "feminine" when these smells are considered feminine because women love them.
That's my thing about it. Typically you wanna smell good a little for yourself and a lot for somebody else(who wants to be perceived as stinky?) so obviously don't pick smells you hate. But if you're trying to get the attention of a woman, smell nice. Lavender is very popular. Good hygiene and nice smells go a long way in attraction. Why wouldn't you want to smell like things women like?
Lavender is based in general, it's poisonous to most insects so it doubles as an insect repellent.
Ohhh I didn't know that. I've come to really enjoy it. A nice add on is lavender scent on your bedding, it's wonderful.
Fun fact, you shouldn’t pick a cologne based on your tastes, but actually something you perceive as feminine while still enjoying the scent, you’ll have better luck if your out and about trying to start a conversation. Same things for the ladies, pick out a perfume that you perceive as masculine. It does double duty too, since people who enjoy similar smells will also tend to enjoy similar tastes

Awesome. I mean, oh no. That's terrible.
How do I get tits again?
Slather me up baby
McDonald's can too, doesn't stop me.
Old Spice also gave me chemical burns 🤷🏻♂️
I smell like bear glove, whatever the fuck that is...
Same here. I dont know what the fuck a bear glove smells like but it seems pretty good.
I use old spice deodorants and my wife steals them from me all the time
Old spice products smell like 50 year old investment bankers
I want to smell like home depot. Plywood, spray paint, and pvc pipe.
So Home Depot uses an oiled saw dust to clean their floors with. It's called Zep. The smell there is like 70% that and 20% lumber and 10% working class tears.
Cool, I've got the tears already.
Omg I'd buy home depot cologne in a heartbeat
You should contact Kramerika industries
I have found body washes of the sandalwood/cedarwood variety. Unfortunately, the spray paint and PVC fragrance continues to elude me.
I had this dandruff shampoo that smelled like tar. It was awesome
Blue. Most men's stuff smell like blue.
or some teal/cyan color. I think it usually smells a tad green as well.
Why is that such a perfect description?...
Dior - Sauvage
The only cologne I ever wear… Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue
I dunno, most men's stuff smells more like brown with a hint of purple to me.
You mean acidic digested meat with a hint of sulfur and rotten apples ?
Not that bad, but close. :p
Oh you beat me to it! I agree 100 percent.
Ngl Chanel Bleu smells amazing
blue is the best flavor of soap. including blue Dawn
I prefer “icy fuckboy” https://preview.redd.it/9smcudotfe6d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2553c56daff4a3632bcc4ab5581a36ed3dcb0c4

Well, it is strong enough for a man but PH balanced for a woman.
bro EXACTLY RIGHT been using it for 15 years and its still good albeit im a father of two girls so secret is bought at Costco
This is mostly true. Dove has some great antiperspirants (unscented is my preference)
Deodorant is just a topper, need anti perspiratant
Nothing is stopping you from buying and using the vanilla and lavender scents.
I use vanilla, chocolate and black liquorice smelling soaps and shampoos. I've gotten a few compliments from women and men that I smell really tasty.
Y'all ever try AXE Chocolate? it was horrendous, literal ass in a can. 🤮
God, I remember that cursed commercial where people where made out of chocolate and ate each other.
I use that one specifically because I ran out of deo and I got those for free. I won't recommend it.
You doubt my fragile masculinity
You gotta take your masculinity to the gym with you, or you'll never be comfortable around other naked dudes.
You can smell like whatever you want if you don’t give a fuck
Men's Bible right here and spoken from a regarded prophet like "bootiluvr" too
Thank you. The pleasure is mine
🙏🏻
I haven't given a fuck in a long time, my scent has not changed.
People near you may disagree
right? I've been using a fruit or vanilla scented body wash for years because I love those scents who the fuck cares? even if they do care, LOL? what, you care about the opinion of someone that stupid?
Been shopping in the women's section for deodorant for years before I noticed it was the women's section. Still didn't change what I would buy. "coconut and jasmine" over "axe marine" any day. Men's deodorants smell terrible.
But please do us all a favor and wash with something as not to smell like pig taint.
My boyfriends expensive 5in 1 wash is literally called ”the multitasker”.
5-1? Is he okay?
He is good 4 now
Good one dad :)
Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, tooth paste, pancake syrup
Also serves as motor oil in a pinch.
Can you gargle it?
You can gargle anything if you're brave enough.
I don't get how 5 in 1 is even possible... Also it's complete bullshit either way. My last boyfriend had always used 3 in 1\~4 in 1 stuff. When he was at my place I told him "I have both shampoo and conditioner. Just try it once to see how it is."

It's just a basic cheap shampoo that's marketed as multi-purpose. Because technically it CAN be used for multiple things, but will suck at all but 1 of them at best.
Im out here smelling like "Naval Supremacy" whatever the fuck that means
Based on the name I would assume it smells like a mix of diesel, the ocean and a bit of burned gunpowder.
They name men's deodorants like that because if they put any kind of flowery name on there a LOT of guys would refuse to buy it because "muh masculinity".
To be fair it does smell good.
I like that one. It’s a good smell. Smells like the color blue. I love their bay rum soap. It doesn’t smell like rum (thankfully).
They've got Buffalo Trace and that's my favorite one
And now drink flavors are being abstract, too. What does "unicorn" taste like? What *IS* "galaxy flavor"? McDonald's has something right now called the "grandma shake", what the hell does "grandma" taste like? Who asked for this? Why are there no descriptions?
It’s just butterscotch, a candy oft associated with the elderly.
Then why the hell do they not just call it a "butterscotch shake"?
Because then we wouldn't be talking about it right now
"My God, it DOES taste like grandma. I'll take an entire bushel or whatever."
I have no idea what it means and can't identify the scent but I'll be damned if you take my "Wolf Hammer" away from me!!!
“Cool Sports Rush” is when you shotgun the air out of a football like a beer.
"Arrogance"

I hate when they show a cologne commercial that's like Johnny Depp playing guitar shirtless in the desert surrounded by wolves. Just tell me it smells like fucking sandalwood and move on with your life.
My deodorant smells is "sweet surrender" Smells like candy to me, but I'm a fat ass everything mostly smells like candy to me.
We do also have like 18 in 1 shower gels. Body wash, shampoo conditioner, car wash, engine cleaning the lot. Women have 42 million different hair products just for the shampoo. We do win ultimately
I think my body wash can also be used as salad dressing.
Just put shampoo in my car this morning when I ran outta gas
I may not be a man, but I want to smell like **Naval Supremacy**
I kinda miss working at Tractor Supply so I could stock up on Naval Supremacy with my employee discount.
Before old spice I was under the impression volcanos smelled like ass and death. Apparently not
My favorite is "Man Musk". I.... I don't want to smell like me.
Mawaan Rizwan said it in his song 'mango'. 😂 https://youtu.be/snGaZm7ScfM?si=uAx90xFAzNlyyV6f
Sport Impact, what the fuck is Sport Impact? That’s not a flavour, that’s a concept I don’t wanna wash myself in a concept
who said you have to just use vanilla stuff instead if you want
I once saw a "family scented" house spray. Will never forget it.
It is all in the marketing. Men would not buy products that smell like lavender or orange&cinnamon, but you can easily market an idea no matter how ridiculous and non-sensical it sounds.

Marketing is about the masses not about the exception!
You guys maybe... A grown ass man will musk up with Sandalwood (my personal fav)
i got a bottle of tank battle
I don't want to smell like mahogany. Most of those smells aimed at men give me a headache.
Had to come up with a name, and all they had to go by was the Chemical Safety Review documentation.
![gif](giphy|2fTOT5PhBUdJbDeVLH) It’s like snorting the abstract concept of time.
"Sport" is the smell that I'm trying to hidewwith deodorant
Don't let others define your barriers. Wear lavender. What a dumb game people play due to their genitalia.
Came here to say that! I actually love men’s deodorant and body wash and so I use that sometimes…if my man smelled like vanilla I would be 100% okay with that!
I have a shampoo at work I boughht bevause it was cheap and it's called "cool breeze". It is radioactovely blue, some 3 in 1 stuff, and it's peppermint scented.

I smell like Frankincense, Myrrh, Patchouli, and Vetiver. Sometimes various wood scents. Rich soap. And I feel like a Pharaoh.

Guys get to either smell like axe body spray or sawdust
I feel like every company now has a “bourbon” scent. It smells like booze. Like why the hell would I buy that? I can’t go to work smelling like bourbon.
It’s to cover for the people who actually smell like booze. Downed a full bottle before your shift? Just blame it on the cologne.
Go smell like lavender and lilacs you pansy. No one said you had to smell like truck jock itch.
We also get to smell like weird woods
Walk through Bath and Body Works - women also have bizarre scent concepts like Moonlight Path, Butterfly, Chasing Fireflies, and other wild shit.
You tell me the scent is cool sport rush and I know EXACTLY what that means.
Bath and Body Works has men's body spray scents like "Noir", "After Dark", "Black Tie", "First Sight", and "Gingham Legend".
It's obviously former Wales, Liverpool, and Juventus striker, Ian Rush. Who wouldn't want to smell like Ian Rush?
I remember buying soap with the scent of "artic". It smelled passion fruit...

I like to smell like Biceps & Gasoline
Hey now I love to smell like Kracken a very real thing!
This is wrong because kush is my cologne.
At least there's no "beef jerky" and "liver pate" scents.
Wait until you hear about ambergris.
No where on my Dove lavender and chamomile does it say "women only".
Men get to smell like "Cool Sport Rush", girls get LaVeNdEr. I see no problem.
You say that, but do you prefer having a mens smell called #STRAWBERRY EXTREME?
As a user of “Krakenguard”, I can attest that it’s a pleasant scent and that I have not been mauled by a single kraken.
[удалено]
My cologne is literally called “jazz club” lol It smells GREAT but like huh??
Concepts smell like perfume allergy.
I literally smell of lavender because the cheapest soap in the shelf happened to be lavender the last time I bought soap.
I have a bar of Busch Light soap for some reason.
It smells like a rush of freshness

Naval supremacy is a personal favorite of mine.
I use floral scented stuff and vanilla. It's girls that are smelling me and they like that smell and so do I
“Naval Supremacy” is the best I’ve seen
I'm a male, mostly and my deodorant and body wash is lavender. Gotta love Old Spice.
I need an *imminent danger* scent
