I just want to smell like something other than tree, cold tree, or beach episode tree.

[–] leisesprecher@feddit.org 48 points 1 month ago (5 children)

I'd prefer not to have any smell, but that is apparently really hard to do.

And why do all products for men have to look like I'm cosplaying a sci-fi tactical commando?

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I assume having no smell is really hard to do and to cover up the slight chemical smell they put a stronger smell over it. That being said I am definitely not a deodorant taste tester so 🤷‍♀️

[–] SirSnufflelump@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

... this makes me slightly suspicious that you are, in fact, a deodorant taste tester.

Same reason "gamer" PC peripherals all look like Gigatron's nut sack.

I have persistent skin issues (psoriasis) and most specialized products are unscented.

This may be the singular upside to this situation ^^`

[–] theredbit@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

You are not alone. I have bad eczema and my wife has psoriasis as well and all of our care products are mostly scent free. At this point I think I’d rather not smell like sandalteakvanilla beach wood lol

I found that out when I had an allergy skin patch test and found out one of the things I'm sensitive too is fragrance. The most important thing was finding a hair dye that I'm not allergic too but after 10 years, I'm starting to get a little itchy when I get my hair done.

I also prefer to have no smell, speed stick makes a unscented deodorant and I have a scentless body wash, havent found a good shampoo yet though. Just using head and shoulders.

How about tree chopped into firewood?

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Sawdust, yes.
Idle firewood loitering, no.
Burning tree bones, yes.
Vanilla cookies, fuck yes.

I don't like wanting to eat myself constantly

Well hello there!

Building furniture out of oak, being in and around that much white oak sawdust and shavings, made me smell like an empty bourbon bottle.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 5 points 1 month ago

My old job also made me smell like an empty whiskey bottle, but it was an office.

What about sea salt & gunpowder? Someone might question your masculinity and sexual orientation otherwise!

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 4 points 1 month ago

Hear me out, gunpowder and ozone so you smell like what astronaut say space smells like.

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Ahh, you are a manly man and ready for Duke Cannon Naval Supremacy bar soap or perhaps Victory! is more for you.

***Google Duke Cannon for an amusing marketing strategy of men's products. Who doesn't want a Big Ass Bar of Soap?

One day I plan to enter the cologne phase of life but it hasn't happened yet. I like smells but I don't like mall shopping.
