I am a man and I chose my deodorant because to me it smells like fruit roll up. I’m not a shill, so if you’re curious, it’s this kind:

Old Spice Wolfthorn
For some reason most stores here stock several types of Old Spice apart from the original, which is the one I like most :(
I stopped in a Walgreens the other week on a trip to vegas to get some spray-on deodorant. They had a dozen womens options, mens had 6 versions of degree, all locked inside containers so you couldn’t smell any. I ended up going with ‘white’. I would have loved some jet fuel options…
LOL,
TBF I think it was called Black and White. and the alternatives were “NonStop” and “Sport Defense” meanwhile the women had Lavender, Cucumber Mellon and Rain.
Tactical body wash with essence of slaughterhouse, IPAs at the axe throwing place, and gym floor mats covered in sweat from the bois.
Don’t forget the blood from the UFC fighting mat
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.
Well, pit stains are usually caused by antiperspirant because they use wax to hold the fragrance and water absorbant chemicals in there.
I’ve had zero pit stains since I switched. And yeah, even after a workout, zero stink. Lasts 24 hours for me usually.
True, I was thinking more the darkened areas that regular sweat causes on light colors.
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.
I’m going more diesel scented this year.
At £2/litre that is still cheaper than most deodorant options tbh

My deodorant apparently smells of “dry impact” and I guess, the color red…?
As in, they have another deodorant in the shops of the same brand, identical description on the label, except it uses blue as the highlight color and it says “dry active” instead.
Like, those pictures are way too concrete in the meme. I just get to smell like concepts.
My deodorant apparently smells of “dry impact” and I guess, the color red…?
Mine smells of dry impact and the colors blue AND red!
It basically smells like the absence of me sweating the moment I so much as IMAGINE being hot 🤷🏻
Me wearing lavender mint deodorant:
I see 3 chads 2 in the meme 1 femme man represented in the comments.
I’m much more of the “what does Costco have” kinda guy
The Mr. Bronners peppermint soap is invigorating. Wife says it’s too invigorating for her cracks, but I like it.
Speak for yourself. I’m a dude and currently smell like oranges and lavender
I don’t know what “Ocean Charge” is supposed to smell like but it was cheap.
I just use cheap products and if they don’t pass my “do they work” test I dont ever buy that one again. My body wash test is extremely simple. If I wash my armpits and I can still feel antiperspirant still there after, the body wash fails and I’ll never buy it again.
If it washes it all out… It passes.
Edit: That said some products by the same company fail while others don’t. I found a pomegranate one time that worked extremely well and I swore I was going to stick with that moving forward… It apparently was limited time couldn’t find it again and the next product I bought from the same brand failed my test… So I was sad.
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.
No shade, everyone should enjoy good perfume
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.
someone’s wearing a lovely women’s perfume"
I just really have to clarify whether someone actually said these specific words to you
Pine, cedar, sandlewood and related tree scents are literally some of the most common, yet not featured?
me spending a bunch of time and money to find and buy unscented stuff:
…just make your own at that point and save money? You should not be suffering spending extra on unscented stuff. That’s like the easy ass default. You can buy unscented soap in bulk for cheap as hell.
And haven’t tried this, but: https://cadryskitchen.com/diy-coconut-oil-deodorant/
Like baking soda, cornstarch, and coconut oil might be all you need for an unscented deodorant
sadly i am a stinky/sweaty lady and require antiperspirant, not just deodorant. which I did actually attempt to make myself once. i bought aluminum chlorohydrate powder and then proceeded to not make the time/effort to make an antiperspirant gel/spray out of it for about 5 years before giving up, admitting to myself it was an abandoned project, and tossing it along with components for several other abandoned projects in a pre-move cleanup 😑
fortunately I’m actually good on soap for now between Kirk’s Coco Castille unscented and my hipster friend’s homemade unscented olive oil soap :]
shampoo and conditioner have been difficult. I like the CeraVe ones I currently use but have to decide if I’m satisfied with their performance enough to justify the price. 😬 though if I do decide that I’ll likely get them online for cheaper next time I run out
it is a big dumb scam that unscented things usually cost way more than scented.
You might want to look up some high end perfumes; they often sell anti=perspirants with the same scent.
that’s good to know, but the reason i wear as little fragrance as possible is that smells (good or bad) distract me severely 🫠
It’s often harder to make “unscented” stuff because it means that none of the ingredients can leave a noticeable odor. Customers expect “no scent” not “smells like baking soda and tallow but not added fragrances”.
I believe that, often, “unscented” things have stuff added to mask smells and “fragrance free” is the one that has this issue, but I don’t think these phrases are actually regulated like “organic”

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
