Secret: just buy women's deodorant for the odors, nobody is stopping you
92Can confirm, I do this for shampoo, conditioner and body wash too.
I get to smell like fruit and shit instead of “pleasant chemicals”

Now I really want to make Piperonal since it apparently smells really good. I just lack money, equipment and skill.
Also I don't know how legal that would be since it could be used as a MDMA precursor and even if it's legal I don't really want to get the house of my parents raided.
7I'm a generally masculine-presenting cis guy and I've never liked cologney smells. My favorite deodorant all my adult life has been one from the women's section that has a picture of cucumbers on it. The scent is subtle, not overwhelmingly chemical or perfumey, it keeps the B.O. at bay, and nobody really notices it but me.

I want my deodorant to smell like sharks.
18Just rub some fresh salmon steak under your armpits. You're welcome.

I'm allergic to the scents in women's deodorant. I get hives. I use a pleasant (imo) smelling old spice and it is great. Especially because I sweat a LOT.
4Are you sure it's the scents and it's deodorant, and not antiperspirant? I have trouble with antiperspirant but deodorant is fine.

Old Spice F-35 is my favorite scent.
Ladies love the smell of jet exhaust in the morning.
33Nowhere near enough leather, whiskey and wood.

Some men are so insecure they literally think washing their butthole is gay. No surprise marketing involves 'splosions, fighter jets, dinosaurs etc.
28Some men are so insecure they literally think washing their butthole is gay.
Whoever said this said it as a joke
5I've seen and read enough credible evidence to suggest someone out there feels this way. Even if it is a joke, things like brushing and flossing and even washing your hands after using the bathroom are controversial for a ton of people. Marketing is real important for encouraging these people to be better.
5I literally know a guy at college who definitely was serious about the "washing ass is gay" thing.
He didn't keep a lot of friends. Or relationships...

I use goat milk soap and I've been getting honeysuckle, lavender, prairie moss, dogwood, all kinds of flowery scents. I love studying botany and smelling these soaps reminds me of some of the local flowers around me. Never had any person accuse me of smelling like a woman or smelling "gay" lol, but I totally agree with your comment. I think real, normal people just like when you smell good, regardless of the scent. The "men should only wear turpentine-and-axel-grease-scented deodorants" Monday is only held in the minds of insecure looney tunes
4Bruh, bruh, liss'n, it's only gay if you touch your BAAWWLS!!

I hate those manly male scents for true men™ so much. I've now switched to odorless deodorant which is so much more expensive but it's worth it. And when I want to smell nice, I use a perfume.
27I stopped using women's antiperspirants because the scents would make my armpits break out in hives and it wouldn't stop my ungodly sweat. I use some kind of old spice that's a gel stick. Can't remember the exact scent lol. It works great, especially for underboob sweat. The smell isn't bad either. 10/10 would recommend for women who are super sweaty like me
25I don't mind Oldspice's BEARGUN BEER THRASHER. Reminds me of my childhood abuse.
18I like Fruity smells too! I have one now that smells kinda like a SweetTart candy but it's called Wolfthorne and is aggressively masculine in the packaging and such lol
17Lol I've tried that one, was not expecting the fragrance it has

Unsented roll on, because the smells they add to make it smells good actually make you stink more towards the end of the day. The white powder ones ruin shirts and Clough pores.
13Clog *?
1Lol, rose-scented shea butter, starch and baking soda deodorant all the way baby. You apply it once a day, twice at most, it moisturizes and nourishes your skin, lasts all day, there's no plastic and you get to laugh in the face of fragile masculinity.

Guys get deodorant in such high quantities at Christmas it lasts till next Christmas
13If that's your experience, my friend, then your family members are trying to tell you something.
30It'd not just my experience it's a Scottish tradition at this point

Look at that guy! He uses the F-16 deodorant, not the SR-71 one.
13I just bought a bathbomb called black rose frome Lush. My girlfriend approved but she wasn't the one using it.
A bathtub, chocolate, and wine. Guys listen, ladies have it all figured out. Treat yourself.
12I wonder how much of my preference was advertising and upbringing, but as a man I do prefer to use the male scents almost every time.
11Change "men" into "boys" and it's accurate.
11I don't buy deodorant for it's smell, I buy it so I don't smell like a locker room by noon....
10Can I have some Tu-144 perfume, please?
9tankie detected. The xb70 shall dedetect you

I don't understand the soap for men that smells like hunting or leather or Busch Beer.
8Pine tar soap feels really nice.
4I don't know how they got naval diplomacy into a soap bar, but it sure smells nice
2They just wanna support Harvick or Chastain
1"then you just don't understand me Susan!"

There are a few Old Spice variants that I think are a bit fruit-forward and fresh and designed for men.
I've never liked the super cologney scents - I like smelling sweet, so Fiji is a good one for me. Smells tropical and a bit fruity.
I also liked Wolfthorne, which is super fruit forward. I actually got a pack of that because some super insecure dude was complaining about it in the reviews.
Outside of that, Stone from Henry's is another fave of mine. Not fruit, but it's light and I think anyone could wear it. Fig as well, but that's more of a winter deodorant because I find myself needing to reapply, but it smells awesome.
8I require all my deodorant to be breeze scented. Either mountain or ocean. There are no acceptable alternatives.
7Bit off topic maybe, but I’m just reading all these comments and some of y’all are cracking me up! I just wanted to say it was a pleasure to read a bunch of random comments that boosted my mood. Thanks!
7Shark breath deodorant is superior.
7Somewhat ironically, a "unisex" deodorant of mine with almond perfume is the best one I have at keeping my body odor away. It's local stuff that beats Nivea's 48h sports men whatever every day (and smells much nicer, too)
6Coffee & Whiskey is the goat
6I like oats and alps. Duke cannon thick is nice too, and has names like “naval supremacy”, which is cheesy, but I don’t get too hung up on it.
Old spice is off the rails though.
5Au naturel.
Wash regularly. Wear clean clothes.
I want to smell like me. Not wood, coal, fuel, fruit, smoke, pine, or flowers.
Just watch out for heavy garlic & onion days 😆
5Nobody else wants you to smell like you.
19I use those hypoallergenic deodorizer crystal sticks, cost a couple of bucks last forever, no smells no scents.
6But there's nothing like the smell of Jet A and F-16 exhaust in the morning...
6My man just use unscented deodorant then
6I do want to smell like pine

I'll have one that smells like a mix of diesel, burnt gunpowder (and the prettiest flowers out there) please.
3Smells like jet fuel? Splendid!
3Cucumber scent is the shit. I'd take that over Mountain Spring any day
3so the other day I saw this liquid hand soap on sale and I got one of each color. I didn't really read the scent since I'm not picky for hand soap, but after using it I got genuinely pissed it was cucumber. I'm sorry, but that's horrible. After washing my hands it felt I spent the last hour cutting cucumbers. Who smelled cucumbers and had the idea of making a soap out of it?
-1I once tried tar and sulfur soaps. Both of them were really weird in the beginning (who in their right mind smells some rotten eggs and thinks "we could make a soap out of this"?), but I got used to them after a few days and began to really like them. I should be on the lookout for them, so I can buy them again someday.

shark scent? eh... like, chum? pass

I use benzoyl peroxide facewash in my pits when I shower. I never smell like BO or anything else.
Those brightly colored tubes of marketing they sell in the deodorant aisle probably don't do what you think they do. This is because the mega conglomerates that sell this shit don't care if their product works or not. What they sell you on is shame and poor body image.
-2Deodorant smells gross. People smell fine. Fkn state of the world, convincing humans that smelling like a human is bad.
-5Ever left the house? You'll change your opinion right quick when you're behind a random guy in the grocery store and you get a strong whiff of sour milk that has been out in the sun for a week.
Thank god for deodorant (and regular showers).
17Maybe the guy you're responding to lives somewhere in East Asia? A lot of people there have a gene which makes them have no body odor. I can confirm from personal experience - my friend from Taiwan doesn't even own deodorant and she never smells, even after hiking all day in hot weather.
