I’m a man and I’d much rather smell like vanilla and passionfruit. I don’t need more help to smell like fuel.
Why must it be this way? (but also I'd like shark please)

Exactly. Just go out on the ramp and check the fuel sumps and oil. There, now you’ll smell like 100LL and plane engine all day.
Hextic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Old Spice F-35 is my favorite scent.
Ladies love the smell of jet exhaust in the morning.

Nowhere near enough leather, whiskey and wood.

Some men are literally so insecure they literally think washing their butthole is gay. No surprise marketing involves 'splosions, fighter jets, dinosaurs etc.

Whoever said this said it as a joke
solstice@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve seen and read enough credible evidence to suggest someone out there feels this way. Even if it is a joke, things like brushing and flossing and even washing your hands after using the bathroom are controversial for a ton of people. Marketing is real important for encouraging these people to be better.
empireOfLove@lemmy.one 1 year ago
I literally know a guy at college who definitely was serious about the “washing ass is gay” thing.
He didn’t keep a lot of friends. Or relationships…
ICastFist@programming.dev 1 year ago
Bruh, bruh, liss’n, it’s only gay if you touch your BAAWWLS!!
Classy@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I use goat milk soap and I’ve been getting honeysuckle, lavender, prairie moss, dogwood, all kinds of flowery scents. I love studying botany and smelling these soaps reminds me of some of the local flowers around me. Never had any person accuse me of smelling like a woman or smelling “gay” lol, but I totally agree with your comment. I think real, normal people just like when you smell good, regardless of the scent. The “men should only wear turpentine-and-axel-grease-scented deodorants” Monday is only held in the minds of insecure looney tunes
notapantsday@feddit.de 1 year ago
I hate those manly male scents for true men™ so much. I’ve now switched to odorless deodorant which is so much more expensive but it’s worth it. And when I want to smell nice, I use a perfume that actually smells nice.
LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I stopped using women’s antiperspirants because the scents would make my armpits break out in hives and it wouldn’t stop my ungodly sweat. I use some kind of old spice that’s a gel stick. Can’t remember the exact scent lol. It works great, especially for underboob sweat. The smell isn’t bad either. 10/10 would recommend for women who are super sweaty like me
IDontHavePantsOn@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I don’t mind Oldspice’s BEARGUN BEER THRASHER. Reminds me of my childhood abuse.
cokane_88@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Unsented roll on, because the smells they add to make it smells good actually make you stink more towards the end of the day. The white powder ones ruin shirts and Clough pores.
Mercival@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Lol, rose-scented shea butter, starch and baking soda deodorant all the way baby. You apply it once a day, twice at most, it moisturizes and nourishes your skin, lasts all day, there’s no plastic and you get to laugh in the face of fragile masculinity.
Classy@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Clog *?
kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I like Fruity smells too! I have to buy mine based on smell alone and it’s frustrating. I have one now that smells kinda like a SweetTart candy but it’s called Wolfthorne and is aggressively masculine in the packaging and such lol
SkyJuice@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lol I’ve tried that one, was not expecting the fragrance it has
Umbraveil@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Au naturel.
Wash regularly. Wear clean clothes.
I want to smell like me. Not wood, coal, fuel, fruit, smoke, pine, or flowers.
Just watch out for heavy garlic & onion days 😆
kogasa@programming.dev 1 year ago
Nobody else wants you to smell like you.
Cabrio@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I use those hypoallergenic deodorizer crystal sticks, cost a couple of bucks last forever, no smells no scents.
fadingembers@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
My man just use unscented deodorant then
name_NULL111653@pawb.social 1 year ago
But there’s nothing like the smell of Jet A and F-16 exhaust in the morning…
eezeebee@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I do want to smell like pine

Guys get deodorant in such high quantities at Christmas it lasts till next Christmas
Hyacathusarullistad@kbin.social 1 year ago
If that's your experience, my friend, then your family members are trying to tell you something.
Z3k3@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’d not just my experience it’s a Scottish tradition at this point
Zoldyck@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Change “men” into “boys” and it’s accurate.
Renderwahn@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Look at that guy! He uses the F-16 deodorant, not the SR-71 one.
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
i do wonder how much of my preference was advertising and upbringing, but as a man I do prefer to use the male scents almost every time.
TheFerrango@lemmy.basedcount.com 1 year ago

I don't buy deodorant for it's smell, I buy it so I don't smell like a locker room by noon....
Prethoryn@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I just bought a bathbomb called black rose frome Lush. My girlfriend approved but she wasn’t the one using it.
A bathtub, chocolate, and wine. Guys listen, ladies have it all figured out. Treat yourself.
Bricktator@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t understand the soap for men that smells like hunting or leather or Busch Beer.
z500@startrek.website 1 year ago
I don’t know how they got naval diplomacy into a soap bar, but it sure smells nice
Jtn670@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They just wanna support Harvick or Chastain

Pine tar soap feels really nice.

coheedcollapse@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There are a few Old Spice variants that I think are a bit fruit-forward and fresh and designed for men.
I’ve never liked the super cologney scents - I like smelling sweet, so Fuji is a good one for me. Smells tropical and a bit fruity.
Outside of that, Stone from Henry’s is another fave of mine. Not fruit, but it’s light and I think anyone could wear it.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I require all my deodorant to be breeze scented. Either mountain or ocean. There are no acceptable alternatives.
demlet@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Shark breath deodorant is superior.
Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world [bot] 1 year ago
Bit off topic maybe, but I’m just reading all these comments and some of y’all are cracking me up! I just wanted to say it was a pleasure to read a bunch of random comments that boosted my mood. Thanks!
MrMamiya@feddit.de 1 year ago
I like oats and alps. Duke cannon thick is nice too, and has names like “naval supremacy”, which is cheesy, but I don’t get too hung up on it.
Old spice is off the rails though.
girltwink@lemmy.world 1 year ago
2d@kbin.social 1 year ago
I don’t get it
girltwink@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Throw off the shackles of Big Deodorant. Girls don’t need it since our body odor is generally much lower, and it could potentially be unhealthy for us.
Also, girl smell 🤤
JimmyDean@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Cucumber scent is the shit. I’d take that over Mountain Spring any day
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
so the other day I saw this liquid hand soap on sale and I got one of each color. I didn’t really read the scent since I’m not picky for hand soap, but after using it I got genuinely pissed it was cucumber. I’m sorry, but that’s horrible. After washing my hands it felt I spent the last our cutting cucumbers.
JimmyDean@lemm.ee 1 year ago
So you bought something without reading the label, then got mad about it, and it’s their fault for making a scent you don’t like? 🤣
Varyag@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Smells like jet fuel? Splendid!
ICastFist@programming.dev 1 year ago
Somewhat ironically, a “unisex” deodorant of mine with almond perfume is the best one I have at keeping my body odor away. It’s local stuff that beats Nivea’s 48h sports men whatever every day (and smells much nicer, too)
octoperson@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Deodorant smells gross. People smell fine. Fkn state of the world, convincing humans that smelling like a human is bad.
Vlyn@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ever left the house? You’ll change your opinion right quick when you’re behind a random guy in the grocery store and you get a strong whiff of sour milk that has been out in the sun for a week.
Thank god for deodorant (and regular showers).
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Maybe the guy you’re responding to lives somewhere in East Asia? A lot of people there have a gene which makes them have no body odor. I can confirm from personal experience - my friend from Taiwan doesn’t even own deodorant and she never smells, even after hiking all day in hot weather.
SwedishFool@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ll have one that smells like a mix of diesel, burnt gunpowder (and the prettiest flowers out there) please.
empireOfLove@lemmy.one 1 year ago
Secret: just buy women’s deodorant for the odors, nobody is stopping you

TheFriendlyArtificer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ll help you for a nominal fee if I can keep the tip.
oillut@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Can confirm, I do this for shampoo, conditioner and body wash too.
I get to smell like fruit and shit instead of “pleasant chemicals”
Zehzin@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hmm should I smell like fresh ginger and lemongrass or gasoline and gunpowder.
newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Now I really want to make Piperinol since it apparently smells really good. I just lack money, equipment and skill.
Also I don’t know how legal that would be since it could be used as a MDMA precursor and even if it’s legal I don’t really want to get the house of my parents raided.

I want my deodorant to smell like sharks.
LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m allergic to the scents in women’s deodorant. I get hives. I use a pleasant (imo) smelling old spice and it is great. Especially because I sweat a LOT.
FinalRemix@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Are you sure it’s the scents and it’s deodorant, and not antiperspirant? I have trouble with antiperspirant but deodorant is fine.
