As a woman, I just want to smell like trees with a bit of floral or musky undertones. My taste in scents is my butchest aesthetic

To be fair I need everything on that bottom picture to overpower my armpit sweat 😅
I buy manly vanilla or citrus deodorant because I am a manly man.
The gender product grift is laughable. And yet people eat it up. I couldn’t believe the first time I saw these at almost 2x markup of regular unscented baby wipes:
Just use a bidet
The best decision of my life. Have the one that’s hand held so its simple and easy to repair but I can never go back to just toilet paper, I just feel dirty.
Yes but baby wipes are for ✨ ^baby bottoms^ ✨, while the XL wipes are for ASS.
Never mind the probably small size difference or the fact you can use two.
I just want deodorant that stops my pits sweating and smells like nothing. Do they make non-binary coded deodorant? I imagine that would be exactly what I need.
At least in Germany there are quite a few. Usually in the allergen free / sensitive skin section
unscented deoderant? Or you could use straight alcohol and water
Salt stick FTW
Game changer for me. I always thought it was some hippy woowoo nonsense, but it actually works for me, and I’m physically active at work and sweat a lot. One stick lasts me for more than a year of daily use and I don’t smell like deodorant.
It’s not an antiperspirant, however, so it’s not much help if you are worried about pit stains.
I just look for solid gel over liquids or pastes and deodorant over antiperspirant, smell a few and go with what smells least offensive. Couldn’t tell you what any of them are called because even when they are supposed to smell like an actual smell they rarely actually smell like that thing, really.
deodorants over antiperspirant
You want to mask the smell instead of not having a smell? 🤨
Antiperspirant tends to be the stuff that contains concerning heavy metals. You’re supposed to be able to sweat, it’s just the stinky part that sucks haha.
Oh I still sweat. So don’t worry about that. Using deodorant I can still smell like a boar pen within an hour after use. Even if I’m just sitting at a desk with my eyes closed.
You want me to use all the heavy metal antiperspirant I got.
Aluminum oxide is the primary active ingredient to most anti-perspirants. It may cause skin irritation in some people, but the perceived health risks are unfounded.
Anti-perspirants also ruin clothes. I guess the aluminum causes that? Either way it’s annoying to use. Killing the sweat bacteria with booze instead and having a nice fragrance on top of it works fine.
I’m going more diesel scented this year.
At £2/litre that is still cheaper than most deodorant options tbh
Reminds me of the WD-40-scented perfume (regardless of if it’s even real or not).
wtf is that fruit with tons of seeds?
You mean passion fruit?
Oh yeah. We need a list of fruit with more seeds than is worth the trouble of eating it, like pomegranate, yuzu, papaya, etc
You just eat the seeds. They’re crunchy.
me spending a bunch of time and money to find and buy unscented stuff:
Just put this liquid aluminium smelling like asphalt and excavator under your arms, bro
Check the organic/natural isle of your grocery store and look for the Potassium Alum based deodorant. They look like a block of crystal. They’re natural and non-aluminum. They also come in unscented variants. Best of all, they’re cheap.
I have one, they’re super great astringents for stopping bleeding of small cuts :D sadly they’re not very effective on my level of sweat/stink 😭 though they are better than nothing so I use mine as a backup when I’ve run out of aluminum chlorohydtate antiperspirant. They are indeed cheap if you know where to look, and I’ve never had one run out (I just drop them and they break 😂)
of note, potassium alum / any alum mineral does actually contain aluminum ions by definition. they are known to be non-irritating to some people who have a reaction to more mainstream antiperspirant ingredients (e.g. aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum chloride) hence their popularity as an alternative
Speak for yourself. I’m a dude and currently smell like oranges and lavender
Right? I’m a fairly big hairy bikery punkerish type. I am told I look intimidating.
But if you get up close what you’re going to smell is blueberries and vanilla!
Nice.
I got a floral smelling perfume that was labelled “for men”. Really liked it. But got told a bunch of times “someone’s wearing a lovely women’s perfume”. Maybe I just want to smell like flowers too goddamnit.
someone’s wearing a lovely women’s perfume"
I just really have to clarify whether someone actually said these specific words to you
I just straight up started wearing women’s perfume. I really like sweet and powdery smells, as well as vanilla notes. You don’t really get stuff like that ‘for men’, but their stupid labels can’t stop me.
No shade, everyone should enjoy good perfume
