I went to restock on my pitstick and I struggled to find it due to the redesign
I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it as it now looks so damn similar to one of friend’s suits

Women’s products have scents like ‘lavender’ and ‘peach.’
Men’s have names like ‘wolf thorn’ and ‘black ice.’
I once had a deodorant whose scent was “trench warfare”. Gave me a little chuckle every time. I think my current scent is “Livid Monarchism” or something. Lavender is nice too though.
Uhhh that gun powder, piss and death scent 🥵
/s
Don’t forget the sweet but savory smell of mustard gas
I get that after eating a hot pastrami sandwich.
I have a facial cream “for men”, the sales pitch was how it shields your skin when braving sharp winds and weather xD
Cool, I’m going to need way more abstraction and euphemism to shelter the tissue of masculinity I cloak myself in though 😎
I’m pretty sure you could sell bubbly baths to men, just by arguing about the heat insulation of the foam and how much more effective it is to keep the water warm
or a tactical bra that keeps you ergonomic and secuted
in case you need to run up and down a flight of stairs to rescue a family of 5 from a burning building
Does it do a better job than Vaseline?
Mine’s leather and cookies.

Actual product. Caramba!
That would get me to test how it smells
I also enjoy how it’s apparently “sweet citrus scent”. I was expecting “wolf thorn” to smell like a lot of things, but neither sweet nor citrus was one of them…
I did a search and saw one plant called ‘wolf thorn’
Wolf thorn [one word or two] sounds like a character in a ‘GOT’ ripoff.
Also, according to my spellcheck function, ‘wolfthorn’ is not a word.
Ah, good point that it might be a plant after all. Apparently, it’s native to South Africa: https://kumbulanursery.co.za/plants/lycium-oxycarpum
No idea, if they’d actually brand a fragrance with such a relatively unknown plant, and that webpage unfortunately doesn’t say whether the plant is citrusy or sweet, but another name for it is “honey-thorn”, so…
My guess is that the marketing department comes up with the names [after extensive research] and then they randomly assign those names to whatever product comes along.
Research seems mixed as to which gender is more aware of scents.
I’m pretty sure it’s all about the names. They are betting that women like ‘pretty’ names associated with things they know, and the guys want something that sounds badass, whatever it actually smells like.
Yeah, would not surprise me. I imagine, the most susceptible to the marketing are teenagers, who have not yet developed partner preferences beyond superficial attractiveness and who may not feel as secured yet in their manliness or beauty or whatever.
Convincing them that it’s a spray which gives you +1 to manliness/beauty, is a surefire way to print money. And since they have little experience what manliness/beauty actually entails, just giving your products stereotypical branding is the easiest way to do that.
The lycium family includes goji berries, somewhat tart but not citrus.
Next they will try Wolf Piss.
“Wolfthorn” is orange, lychee, coconut, and pineapple. At least according to my search just now.
I mean, it has to smell like something.
I accidentally bought a bodywash that’s apparently 50% menthol. It smells like cough syrup
Men get all the cool names 😎

I… just want unscented deodorant, and the one brand I’ve been buying since high school seems to be trying to kill the unscented line because only one store around me carries it anymore. And none of the other common brands have an unscented variety around.
I guess I’ll switch to the lavender if I have to.
This stuff is like 3USD, idk if you can get it in the US, but I put it on after showering, before bed, and it works the next day.
spoiler
tysm for sharing that 72h deo
Its not 72h, but it works the next day at least.
Old spice has gone up like 50% since covid so I switched. Shit is like $9 a stick here
A stick? Not even the aerosol?
Sorry I lied. I just checked and a stick is now $9.99. The aerosol is only $9 though
Dont be shy, post the friend’s suit 👀
When I asked them if I could share a picture of their suit they said they’d prefer if I didn’t, so unfortunately I can’t share any pics of it.
They’ve only had it now for a little less than a year so I understand why they’re a bit cagey about sharing pictures of it out of context
That’s so valid, hope they have a great time with it!
Bwahahahahahaha
Old spice looks tasty :3
Wow that looks bad. Huge downgrade
One of us, one of us
