Male fragrance sections at shops are always so sad. Would you like to smell like you just downed a bottle of gin, like a leather couch, or like you were sitting on the wrong side of a campfire? Women get all the nice fruits and flowers. This stuff shouldn’t be gendered anyway like most things.

@Gargron it’s only gendered if we believe it to be. The only real difference is the marketing and typeface on the bottle. Wear what makes you feel good (and smell good).
@Gargron
I just want to smell like a tree. Pine is tops, cedar is second. That's all. Wood just smells nice.
@Gargron I am a woman and I adore Davidson's Cool Water and Hot Water. In fact, I use Hot Water whenever I put on any perfume. It's unlike any of the smells you describe.
@Gargron you need to get into a real perfume shop, with people who actually know perfume to counsel you! I've discovered fragrances I never thought could even exist that way.
@Gargron I am really not "into" fragrances, much to the chagrin of my wife, I'm sure, but the one aftershave I currently have in my cupboard is for men, from a big brand (YSL) yet it does actually smell quite sweet and fruity. I like it because it reminds me cherries and marzipan.
@Gargron I just want to not smell like sweat. I'd rather not smell like the detergent aisle in the supermarket too.
@Gargron
It gets even worse with that. I remember first seeing Hummer cologne at the mall with my then boyfriend, who's an Army vet. He was like, "What TF does it smell like, axle grease?"
And Hummer is STILL coming out with colognes that help women know which guys to avoid. I suppose I should be grateful.
@Gargron Nah. Mine smell like Yak's piss.
@Gargron
I over here in the corner wanting everyone to smell of nothing so I can still breath. 🫢
Ugh. As an agender trans person I definitely agree on the silliness of gendering things.
(FWIW, I strongly prefer unscented products, whereas my genderqueer spouse loves fruity flowery scented everything.)
@Gargron Well, at least now anyone can smell like a Gold Caramel Billionaire.
@Gargron
I prefer my man to smell like a chocolate chip cookie. 🍪
@Gargron
The leather couch one is for when you want to attract JD Vance. 😉
@Gargron One of the best parfume I've ever worn is Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris *Pour Homme*, though I'm a woman. I totally recommend it!
@Gargron ...then why do so many women in DC smell like burning insecticide?
