Years ago in the 1970s when deodorants & aftershave became more popular & acceptable me & my mates thought of a couple of new brands -
‘Hard Man’ for wannabe climbers & mountaineers
It would be a mixture of stale sweat, stale beer, peat bog, damp wool, paraffin (for the camping stove), & rancid sun tan cream
Of course the paraffin & wool date it as climbers & hikers haven’t use them for years
‘Boy Racer’ for pretend rally drivers
It would be a mixture of stale sweat, stale beer, petrol, Castrol R, sump oil, burning clutch and burning rubber
I never encountered that, we used to rub it into our bike jackets when we were punks way back when.
There often used to be a distinct earthy aroma in the mosh pits, I love it but I wouldn’t wear it socially, not these days at least.
Y’all are making me laugh. I didn’t realize people wore that on themselves. IIRC I liked it as an aromatherapy fragrance. I didn’t think about anyone lathering it on themselves.
I think synthetic fragrances should be banned - they pollute the environment and honestly make me want to puke
Essential oils not only smell a million times better but also have health benefits!!!
There are lots of masculine smelling essential oils, my favourite is sandalwood (I make my own deodorant with it - a few drops in water in a spray bottle). Women have far more choice - pure rose oil, Jasmine oil and a gazillion more… and they’re far more likely to get people to fall in with you
I’ve no idea if its still made and if it is, still has the same aroma. Body Shop White Musk on the right woman (not all female bodies react the same) would have great effect on me and the hotter she became, the greater the attraction. It must have mixed with their own pheromones to produce that result, but it definitely did something to me.
