When can we start getting the nihilist aromas? Yankee Candles has some I think. I want 'goodbye to a good friend', 'de ja via', 'deep repose', and 'scenic outcrop'.

me spending a bunch of time and money to find and buy unscented stuff:
...just make your own at that point and save money? You should not be suffering spending extra on unscented stuff. That's like the easy ass default. You can buy unscented soap in bulk for cheap as hell.
And haven't tried this, but: https://cadryskitchen.com/diy-coconut-oil-deodorant/
Like baking soda, cornstarch, and coconut oil might be all you need for an unscented deodorant
sadly i am a stinky/sweaty lady and require antiperspirant, not just deodorant. which I did actually attempt to make myself once. i bought aluminum chlorohydrate powder and then proceeded to not make the time/effort to make an antiperspirant gel/spray out of it for about 5 years before giving up, admitting to myself it was an abandoned project, and tossing it along with components for several other abandoned projects in a pre-move cleanup 😑
fortunately I'm actually good on soap for now between Kirk's Coco Castille unscented and my hipster friend's homemade unscented olive oil soap :]
shampoo and conditioner have been difficult. I like the CeraVe ones I currently use but have to decide if I'm satisfied with their performance enough to justify the price. 😬 though if I do decide that I'll likely get them online for cheaper next time I run out
it is a big dumb scam that unscented things usually cost way more than scented.
Check the organic/natural isle of your grocery store and look for the Potassium Alum based deodorant. They look like a block of crystal. They're natural and non-aluminum. They also come in unscented variants. Best of all, they're cheap.
I have one, they're super great astringents for stopping bleeding of small cuts :D sadly they're not very effective on my level of sweat/stink 😭 though they are better than nothing so I use mine as a backup when I've run out of aluminum chlorohydtate antiperspirant. They are indeed cheap if you know where to look, and I've never had one run out (I just drop them and they break 😂)
of note, potassium alum / any alum mineral does actually contain aluminum ions by definition. they are known to be non-irritating to some people who have a reaction to more mainstream antiperspirant ingredients (e.g. aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum chloride) hence their popularity as an alternative
Jokes on you, guys. Your buying the same stuff as women just with "cool" names.
Speak for yourself. I'm a dude and currently smell like oranges and lavender
I got a floral smelling perfume that was labelled "for men". Really liked it. But got told a bunch of times "someone's wearing a lovely women's perfume". Maybe I just want to smell like flowers too goddamnit.
No shade, everyone should enjoy good perfume
Me wearing lavender mint deodorant:
Apparently, women are supposed to smell like things while men are supposed to smell like concepts.
Im trying not to smell like the dark abyss of eternal existental crissis. That is why I need deoderant to begin with. I just dont know why so many of them smell like desperate raging hormone.
What the fuck does an F-16 smell like?
Oil (pronounced Oooyl, one syllable)
Freedom.
Ah. Gunpowder.
Exactly
Jet fuel, burst eardrums, and wasteful spending.
Don’t take my rabid shark deodorant away from me.
Tactical body wash with essence of slaughterhouse, IPAs at the axe throwing place, and gym floor mats covered in sweat from the bois.
My deodorant apparently smells of "dry impact" and I guess, the color red...?
As in, they have another deodorant in the shops of the same brand, identical description on the label, except it uses blue as the highlight color and it says "dry active" instead.
Like, those pictures are way too concrete in the meme. I just get to smell like concepts.
My deodorant apparently smells of "dry impact" and I guess, the color red...?
Mine smells of dry impact and the colors blue AND red!
It basically smells like the absence of me sweating the moment I so much as IMAGINE being hot 🤷🏻
No bear glove love?
Marking for men is marketing for 16-year old:
- Gilette Power Fusion
- Weber Stealth Kettle
Its fine being and smelling softer :3
I realised earlier today that my shower gel has a stylised snail on it. Like...that's a snail, right? Leaving a snail trail of hydration across my body.
I see 3 chads 2 in the meme 1 femme man represented in the comments.
Pine, cedar, sandlewood and related tree scents are literally some of the most common, yet not featured?
