Another cishetman here, and I even like outdoorsy shit and the smell of grass and lumber and all that.

But hell yes I would rather smell like vanilla or candy than whatever the fuck men are supposed to smell like. The deodorant I’m using now is supposed to be a lemon cookie scent, but it smells just like froot loops or fruity pebbles cereal. It kicks ass.

For soaps I really don’t care about the scent. But for something that’s going to stick with me like deodorant or beard balm/oil, it needs to either smell pleasant, be unscented, or have the weakest damn fragrance possible. Most products I’ve tried on my beard have been actively offensive to me, to where I give the entire thing away or chuck it. The stuff I use now is supposed to smell like booze, but it is so weak I never notice it except when actively applying it to my face.
