Wait women have passionfruit flavoured deodorant? Damn I’m jealous.
Don’t eat the deodorant
Do not the deodorant
I wanna smell like a fighter jet.
Bitches love the smell of avgas.
Oh yeah! They better have a 100LL option for us Skyhawk-flying folk (mostly volunteer search and rescue pilots and students).
And that’s why I use womens deodorant. Certainly not because I’m trans, goodness no, what are you accusing me of?
I’m fairly sure my egg started cracking when this stuff came out.
hey im not judging, if i were a cis man i probably would too
Another cishetman here, and I even like outdoorsy shit and the smell of grass and lumber and all that.
But hell yes I would rather smell like vanilla or candy than whatever the fuck men are supposed to smell like. The deodorant I’m using now is supposed to be a lemon cookie scent, but it smells just like froot loops or fruity pebbles cereal. It kicks ass.
For soaps I really don’t care about the scent. But for something that’s going to stick with me like deodorant or beard balm/oil, it needs to either smell pleasant, be unscented, or have the weakest damn fragrance possible. Most products I’ve tried on my beard have been actively offensive to me, to where I give the entire thing away or chuck it. The stuff I use now is supposed to smell like booze, but it is so weak I never notice it except when actively applying it to my face.
100%.
I basically stopped buying men’s deodorant because my wife bought some dove cucumbery thing and when mine was out I borrowed it once.
never went back lol
As a cis dude: Yeah women’s deodorant is quite nice to wear
A lot of men’s deodorants (when they do say what they smell like) are shit like leather, bourbon, smoke, tobacco, engine bay, etc. And our shampoo selection ain’t much better.
Token cis man, much prefer the women’s hygiene products, just worried about stares I’d get at the store lmao.
Doubt anyone would remember 5-10 minutes later that you were even there. When I worked retail, I had forgotten the previous customer by the time I was dealing with another.
I look about as typical a dude as it’s possible to and literally no-one has ever even acknowledged when I’m buying women’s deodorant 🤷♀️
Here in California, its normal for guys to get hygiene products for wives, partners, sisters, etc. Though in the cities no one cares who wears what either.
I’d assume in other states it’s normal for guys to do the household shopping. Maybe not in Texas or Florida.
Most people would just presume you’re buying for someone else anyway.
Beyond it not actually mattering what others think, and as others have said - the chance of anyone even noticing being miniscule, if someone looking at you really assumes that only women can use “women’s” hygiene products, then they probably also assume you’re buying it for a woman in your life and couldn’t care less…
tans man here, I also prefer to smell like raspberries or coconuts over uh “sports”, “extreme” or “blue”. Though sometimes you get a nice smelling product in the men’s section, like strong citrus or foresty, those are good
I used to gravitate towards more woodsy or foresty scents myself. Looking back, I think it was because that was the closest I could get to floral without being too “girly”.
Sometimes a guy just wants to smell pretty and sometimes a guy is really a girl, and there’s no possible way to know which is true
And both are equally valid.
But of course
Sneaky transfem noises
I always pick the cheapest one, but if the female and male products have the same price I’ll pick roses over whatever the fuck “sports” and “adventure” is supposed to smell like.
I usually just smell them
This post is a fake. I have never seen an F16 deodorant.
Of course not. I doubt I could even find the armpits on an F16.
Duke Cannon sells Naval Supremacy, which might be F4 Tomcat soap.
When buying perfume I pick the unisex ones, because most men’s perfume smells like toilet duck. Also I like smelling like flowers or honey and smoked vanilla.
Toilet…duck…?
Ah, yes, toilet cleaner, thought it was universal, seems to be a European(?) thing.
We definitely have it in the US as well.
It’s a brand of toilet bowl cleaner.
I personally prefer blue goo.
I’d rather smell citrussy or flowery over whatever the fuck the bottom picture is meant to smell like. Plus I like flowers anyway as I’ve a pair of converse with roses on them. So much better than wearing a pair of Adidas that’s white with maybe a stripe of colour.
Agreed that most of those men’s scents are terrible… But as soon as they come out with Jet A and 100LL scents (aviation fuels) I’m in.
citrussy
🍋🥵
citrussy
…a Citroën with good ole hydropneumatic suspension? Someone with equanimous gait? I can’t keep up with all the jargon you folks here throw around.
I only use Sub-orbital Tactical Rocket Shark Extreme™️.
Bay Rum is a pretty universal go-to when looking for default masculine smells, a mix of actual rum and the bay tree in the west indies. Nowadays it’s artificially produced so YMMV.
Modern flavor science mixes leather, woods, salt, industrial tones, oil, plants and liquor for masculine products to mixed effect. (again YMMV) My wife actually prefers some for men products since she finds sweet fruit and flower scents overbearing.
Sadly Mrs. Meyers only makes Iowa Pine in cleaning products and then in limited runs during winter holiday season. Their flavorists really nailed it. Duke Cannon’s Illegally Cut Pine is a passable alternative.
What about enbys?
i usually go for nutty scents or something sweet and flowery :3
You would like to smell like nutt /s
My scent is different to each person. Common variations are your-actual-worst-nightmare and intoxicating-mystery-creature.
gender binary reinforcement memes suck just as much as other ways of reinforcing the gender binary
Yeah I agree, not really a fan of them.
Yeah, this would probably be better with a bit of a wording change (like “how deodorant is sold to women/how deodorant is sold to men”).
I mean, there’s definitely a real phenomenon at play here, but I think it has more to do with how the system indoctrinates us than any real, actual preferences.
Yeah, I prefer the more “feminine” smells from Old Spice. I’ve never been a fan of pungent chemical almost cologne smells in general. I really love that they did that because things aren’t that black and white. I’d try a scent and almost gag from it.
well deodorants are actually for smells that the opposite sex generally likes more, not the wearer
I have the opposite. I dislike the excessive fruity smells of feminine deodorant. Plus, I don’t nearly sweat as much as man and so I only need a little bit of men’s deodorant. That can lasts for ages!
Just going off of the point bigbananadealer@lemm.ee made.
I’m going to be honest I don’t care what the scent is when you’re in a relationship you grow fond of that. I had a girlfriend that smelled like cologne probably because she smoked and was still 17. I grew fond of that smell despite not caring for it much initially.
It kinda just doesn’t matter what other people think because if they care and spend enough time with you they’ll probably start missing it when you’re gone.
That’s actually wholesome. Thanks for sharing!
At least “womanly” scents are descriptive, so you know more or less what you’re getting, if I want to try out some “manly” scents (they get stronger more effective antiperspirant and I don’t mind what “gender” I smell of), I’d have to order all of them (am housebound, can’t just go around a drugstore, sniffing) just to see what iceberg, shark, and attack helicopter actually smell of lol… It’s easier to just smell of orchids… 😂
When its all just ambergris, orange oil, and citric acid
Marketing deodorant to women.
Marketing deodorant to men.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
I mean I’d absolutely want to buy something like this.
