    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.

      Can confirm, I do this for shampoo, conditioner and body wash too.

      I get to smell like fruit and shit instead of “pleasant chemicals”

        Now I really want to make Piperonal 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.

    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)

    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.

    I’ll have one that smells like a mix of diesel, burnt gunpowder (and the prettiest flowers out there) please.

    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 Fiji is a good one for me. Smells tropical and a bit fruity.

    I also liked Wolfthorne, which is super fruit forward. I actually got a pack of that because some super insecure dude was complaining about it in the reviews.

    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. Fig as well, but that’s more of a winter deodorant because I find myself needing to reapply, but it smells awesome.

    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.

    I use benzoyl peroxide facewash in my pits when I shower. I never smell like BO or anything else.

    Those brightly colored tubes of marketing they sell in the deodorant aisle probably don’t do what you think they do. This is because the mega conglomerates that sell this shit don’t care if their product works or not. What they sell you on is shame and poor body image.

    Deodorant smells gross. People smell fine. Fkn state of the world, convincing humans that smelling like a human is bad.
