When my wife is shopping in Sapphora I amuse myself by wandering over to the men’s “cologne” isle. They try really hard to look manly with leather wrapping, wood stoppers and even one that looks like a hand-grenade, and they use manly names, but they all smell pretty flowery. Particularly the hand-grenade. I have noticed a recent trend towards smelling like “manly” cocktails though. One smells just like a gin-and-tonic while another is a Manhattan. I’m sure those are really popular at sobriety checkpoints.
I can’t figure it out. It’s not like it’s hard to think of real smells men like.
Bacon & coffee
Leather & pipe tobacco
Machine oil & hot steel
Wood smoke & maple leaves
New car
Oild oak & newspaper
Plaster dust and fresh cut lumber
Fresh poured cement & dirt
Hot pavement
Fresh cut lawn & charcoal briquettes
There you go scent makers, those are on the house.

Things like this are why I hate that marketing is a thing.

I’ve played with making cologne. Lots of woodsy stuff, especially cedar. It never really caught on.

Plaster dust? Why would you want to smell like a construction worker?

I want gingerbread deodorant!
No, really.
Too bad the smell would probably be as authentic and awful as scented candles.
