The scent of a man...

Posts: 290 Member
is lingering in my dryer right now and making all my clothes smell like Axe body spray.
It's nauseating.
It makes me wonder- do women (or men who like men) really like a man to smell like this?

My husband wears it, and I like it. I just can't be around him when he sprays it b/c it takes my breath away. I also like the smell of his body wash. It smells very masciuline. I love the smell of a clean man!0

No. I've always preferred men who smelled like engine grease and a run in the rain...0

I've explained this before and I'll explain it again.
In the shower:
Body Wash: Canus Goat's Milk Soap
Shampoo/Conditioner: Garnier products
Facial Scrubs: St. Ives Apricot (once a week), Noxema
Shaving (The Art of Shaving Products):
Pre-Shave Lavender Oil
Lavender Essential Oil Shaving Cream [applied with Fine Badger Brush]
Lavender After-Shave Balm
Deodorant and Moisturizing:
Weleda Sage Deodorant Spray
Aveeno Body Lotion with SPF 15
Dental Hygiene:
Colgate Toothpaste
Dental Floss
Cologne:
John Varvatos or Ralph Lauren Double Black
A few take-away points from this:
1. Between the baby soap with goat's milk and the lavender shaving product, it's no secret that I have sensitive skin.
2. Most people wear too much cologne. The rule of thumb is that it should be worn daily, but only smelled by a lover.
3. Most people don't floss enough.
4. Shave with a straight razor. It's cathartic to dedicate half an hour to shaving your face and it always ends up looking better.
5. There is no such thing as a "masculine" or "feminine" scent. Aromas do not have gender...that's really all about marketing. Santa Maria Novella's Melograno or Jo Malone's Lime Basil & Mandarin may be marketed to women, but mix one of those into your cologne regime guys.
6. If you wear antiperspirant, you will sweat more.
7. Care about how you look. If you care about how you look, other people will notice.
Cheers.

American Psycho- "I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion."0 -
love a good cologne. . . can't say that I have ever had it linger past the washer though. . much less into the dryer. . Cologne on a guy. . .HOT!0
-
I use the body wash only, the spray is a little strong. Still, its better he is trying to smell good instead of not caring and smelling like a sewer.0

I like a man who smells nice... either good clothes detergent or dryer sheets or cologne... just something when it's a special occasion. i save my perfume for the same. i have a bit of the cheap stuff that i spray on my hair before i run out to work, but each of my past loves has had a certain scent dedicated to him and only worn for him. My last b/f was Gucci Flora.... the one before that was Jean Paul Gaultier Classique.0

I used to have a variety of cologne that I liked to wear, but then I moved to the big city and starting working with other people that wear far too much or a non-agreeing scent. So strong in fact that I did not have to SEE that they were present at work, but I knew they had been in a room within the last few minutes. For this reason I stopped wearing cologne, I was kind of offended. I personally think axe body spray is disgusting.0

But...change the toothpaste to crest 3D white and slap in Oral-B anti-bacterial mouthrinse;)0 -
i, personally am not a fan of colognes. i like them having their own natural scent.
plus, cologne and perfume tend to get stuck in my nose for hours and it's a bit annoying0 -

Yikes....suddenly I realise I really AM a low maintenance girl!
Shampoo and conditioner - Herbal Essences
Body wash - something with red thyme
Garnier moisturiser
Sure anti perspirant
Paul Smith perfume.
Done.0 -
A good (i.e. usually expensive) cologne in an amount that is subtle is my fave smell. Right now my preferred scent is BANG by Marc Jacobs - it smells like black pepper and I just wanna rub all over my man like a cat when he wears it.0

I feel the same way. The only perfume I can really appreciate when my wife wears it is the more natural and lightly scented "solid" kind. All that spray on stuff smells like chemicals and just hangs out in my nostrils for far too long. It gives me a headache way more than it turns me on.0 -
When a man has a distinct scent, whether it be natural or his body wash or cologne, I melt.
Lets clarify though....a GOOD distinct scent! I've worked for multi-national companies for years and there are some countries where the distinct scent is BO, or BO mixed with cologne....gag! :sick:0 -
There's a candle company in my mall that makes Tommy Hilfiger scented candles and I buy them out all the time.... So for me, yes, as long as they aren't absolutely drenched in it.
It's the same with women's perfumes for me. There are some scents I really like, but too much of anything is a bad thin.0 -

dryer sheets and pit stick...i like my man smelling fresh and clean...no cologne or perfume or oils...just clean0

I have heard that Axe is very hard to get out of clothes. Someone told be that even after a shower her teen son still smelled like Axe, even though he had used soap and not reapplied the Axe. Yuck. Way too heavy a scent. I like my man to smell like leather and wood and hard work. MMMMMM0

My fiance usually doesn't wear anything but his Irish Spring deoderant and I love the smell. Sometimes I can smell the bodywash he uses, but it's not an overwhelming or annoying scent so I like it. Every once in a while he'll actually wear cologne, but it's so rare that I find it a treat when he does. Oh, and I can usually smell the detergent his clothes were washed in which always smells so fresh!0

I got this as a gift one year, my female friends, GFs, and dates have all loved it. Sme a little too much (shirt stealers)

The distinct scent I am speaking of is the one that can't be described. It almost smells like cologne but it's not...
