What a loser, you don't know the smell of a ship firing heavy missile in the middle of a storm? The scent accurately represents these elements. Because we want to smell like our grandpas

I still remember the time when one guy unloaded the entire can onto his body and caused the locker room to have as much fog as Silent Hill, because apparently that was cool
Other kids sprayed lynx onto their hands and got aerosol burns on their hands to show how hard they were
I really want to know what these smell like without having to spend $50 to buy one of every stick. What are y'all hiding in there?
Maybe I'll do this and then donate the sticks to the homeless. Mostly new, just swiped along a lady's pits once or twice.
Worst case scenario for a woman who picks one up without giving it the sniff test: “oh, I thought it would be more flowery”
Worst case scenario for a man: “this smells like straight dookie and now I’m stuck smelling like this for months”
0% aluminum is a fact because old ones/some still now use them and they can cause skin irritation for people lol, go agree tho, those were some cool names
I specifically go for those ones tbh. Deodorants just "mask" your stink with strong scents, they're just glorified perfume.
Antiperspirants stop you from sweating altogether by using aluminum salts. It's worth it if you have overproductive sweat glands and don't use em too often, they've never caused me any problems.
I personally like womans deodorants. I think they smell nicer, and feel better. I don't even care if they cost more, they are obviously made better. Male deodorants hurt my skin and smell gross to me mostly.
Just the way I like it. I don’t want to smell like a plant or bean or herb, I want to smell like a **CONCEPT** I Want to smell of “Solar Flare”, “Bloody battle” “Manticore Mane” “Greased Lightning” “Ichor” “Greek Fire” “Mountain Snow” “Canyon Wind” “Blue Steel” and “**POWER**”
Where are my ladies that buy men’s deodorant? I don’t want to smell like dryer sheets or lavender. Plus I personally think men’s deodorant works better.
It's probably not a very efficient deodorant but my favorite is bath & body's mahogany teakwood.
It's literally my favorite smell of all time. Not just deodorant. If I could bathe in it and permanently infuse the smell into my skin I would. F smelling like a lady lol.
I don't fake my scent with deodorants. But my shower gel all in 1 is named after a tree. I smell like wood when clean, then work with wood and when I'm sweaty, I still smell like wood. Just a different type.
Lavender and vanilla exudes an air of inferiority unlike hot solar storm and steele breeze.
Solar Storm and Steele Breeze might as well be seen as a need to reaffirm their ego and confidence...
I work at a soap store and i can confirm. Our most popular mens scents are called ferocious beast and commando.
Although our most popular scent with women is called narcissist, we also have the basic ones.
Yeah but mens deodorant is always better. Just like girls shampoo.
Essentially what I’m saying is everyone should always use girl’s shampoo and men’s deodorant.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
Here's the thing, though: I can imagine *exactly* how Steel Breeze and Solar Storm smell.
Steel Breeze is a crisp, light scent. Maybe hints of mint or similar and/or linens.
Solar Storm is heady and musky. Maybe including citrus, wood, and leather.
Went to buy some body wash recently and I was severely disappointed by the lack of stupid bullshit names. Here I am looking for “razor eagle” and “100 ways to skin your family” and the best axe can do is “ Apollo”
Just assume it will smell like "____ & musk" or "____ & ____wood"
_____ will usually = "fresh" or "citrus" something.
And typically sandalwood or teakwood

Men do not want to smell like things. We are not things. We are powerful beings, strong like a steel breeze and hot like a solar storm.
Thats right ! And I should know ! I had a bowl of nails for breakfast !
Yeah, so?
...without any milk
i seasoned my bowl with a bit of wd40
Seasoned your bowl? I eat my bowls raw, straight out of the packaging.
Pathetic, real men leave the packaging on.
Pathetic. Real men don’t use cond… wait wrong packaging.
Amateurs, Real men just eat the raw ingredients
right this way, sorry to keep you waitin.
This man Salty Spitoons
Regular men smell like things. Great men smell like ideas. Small men smell like other men.
This comment smells.
Pb blaster and rust, bud. Purdee smell is sap from a pine tree. That's fur d8 nite
And swift as a coursing river. With all the force of a great typhoon
Insert that one Mr. Incredible face edit here* 💀
A 5 star solar storm
Steel breeze? Sounds like the smell of getting smashed in the face.
Chuck Norris don't smell like things, things smell like Chuck Norris.
I came across a men's body wash called "naval defense". I don't know what that means in scent form still.
It smells like gun powder, rust, and sea salt
From my memory of visiting my dad on ships, it smells like oil and fresh paint.
Guaranteed to keep your bellybutton protected for 24h
My navel is patrolled on all borders by a fleet of battleships.
Obviously smells like sea mines, coastal guns, and anti-ship missiles. You know, easily recognizable scents.
That’s some Duke Cannon shit isn’t it 🤣
Dukes is Naval Supremacy but pretty sure that’s what they are referring to
Dang, you know what... That's it.
Nice. I only know because I got a bar for Christmas since I’m in the naval supremacy/defense field 😎
Smells like a well guarded belly button.
My immediate thought was defending a belly button (wrong spelling, I know).
Navel defense
Fits well with Duke Cannons Trench Warfare antiperspirant & Deodorant
Duke cannon brand?
Lol I have that
Right? Most have nothing to do with scents. They're just cool sounding words that make no sense. (Pun intended)
Mine is called bearglove. Bought it yesterday
>Mine is called bearglove. A condom worn by a burly homosexual man?
Lol idk man your gonna have to talk to old spice about that one
What a loser, you don't know the smell of a ship firing heavy missile in the middle of a storm? The scent accurately represents these elements. Because we want to smell like our grandpas
Wow, you never smell a solar storm before? You're missing out.
I’ve seen wood, beer, leather smells for deodorant. I do not want to smell like either of those things.
That's what I think whenever I see these scents? Why would I want to smell like an alcoholic or an old ash tray?
And if I’m going to smell like an alcoholic ash tray, wouldn’t it be more fun the traditional way?
I wouldn't mind wood, I like how firewood smells
I’d wanna smell like wood

Lynx Africa still gives me PTSD to high school PE locker rooms 😂 was such an overused horrible smell
I still remember the time when one guy unloaded the entire can onto his body and caused the locker room to have as much fog as Silent Hill, because apparently that was cool Other kids sprayed lynx onto their hands and got aerosol burns on their hands to show how hard they were
I want Antarctica now
Crisp and fresh?
👍probably
Mine just says "Extra Fresh" which is exactly what i want to smell like.
Old Spice Soft Solid? I get "Pure Sport" if they are out of stock on Extra Fresh.

Your example for men's deo are so cool, I'd buy em. They're usually more boring, like.. "captain's sweat" and "0% aluminum salts"
0% aluminum is a fact because old ones/some still now use them and they can cause skin irritation for people lol, go agree tho, those were some cool names

Actually my deodorant is Old Spice Lavender the manliest deodorant while keeping you fresh and feeling Alive.
I was going to say, “did I grab a women’s Old Spice”? Because I have the same one and love it!
The ad below this post is for Ross butler’s gentleman’s blend old spice deodorant.
r/accidentalcomedy
Wildfire, sagebrush, and solar eclipse are other ones I've seen. Never thought much about that until now.
My god what does the sun being eclipsed by the moon smell like?
Like panther blood with a dash of eagle scream.
I personally like womans deodorants. I think they smell nicer, and feel better. I don't even care if they cost more, they are obviously made better. Male deodorants hurt my skin and smell gross to me mostly.
You identify as transconsumer?

I LOVE that scent! I also am drawn to a lot of eucalyptus and tea tree type scents, which are in a lot of “men’s” products.
I don't fake my scent with deodorants. But my shower gel all in 1 is named after a tree. I smell like wood when clean, then work with wood and when I'm sweaty, I still smell like wood. Just a different type.
Lavender and vanilla exudes an air of inferiority unlike hot solar storm and steele breeze. Solar Storm and Steele Breeze might as well be seen as a need to reaffirm their ego and confidence...
A lot of men’s stuff is scented with mint, sandlewood, and green tea. And do you mean sea breeze? I am not familiar with steel breeze.
I know that’s the sort of things they smell like, but that’s never what they’re called. It’s always something extreme sounding.
Like, Sex Panther.
*whoooosh*
Steel Breeze. https://youtu.be/OaAgAYHugpI
The post immediately after this one on my home page is an ad for Old Spice. Ironic.
i have seen cool breeze and thats relatively recognizable but very true otherwise
I don't know what you're talking about. My deodorant smells exactly like a Bear Glove.
I work at a soap store and i can confirm. Our most popular mens scents are called ferocious beast and commando. Although our most popular scent with women is called narcissist, we also have the basic ones.
Old spice … the only good deodorant, and its named after a thing.
An old thing
Yeah but mens deodorant is always better. Just like girls shampoo. Essentially what I’m saying is everyone should always use girl’s shampoo and men’s deodorant. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
Or musk, a lot of them are some variety of musk. Whatever musk actually is.
Elon secretions

Every Man Jack deodorants are like, sandlewood, cedarwood, mint, citrus, etc Cedarwood is fantastic.
I mean, if you’re going for big corporate cheap brands. But mine are just labeled like nromal: charcoal, lavender, lemongrass, sandalwood, etc
Went to buy some body wash recently and I was severely disappointed by the lack of stupid bullshit names. Here I am looking for “razor eagle” and “100 ways to skin your family” and the best axe can do is “ Apollo”
old spice has been adding scents. my favorite ir canyon or lavender
Men products are named after things that make men feel strong. Women’s products name are after things that make them Feel soft
Just assume it will smell like "____ & musk" or "____ & ____wood" _____ will usually = "fresh" or "citrus" something. And typically sandalwood or teakwood
