    Old Spice has some “island” scents that smell like fruits and flowers for men. I am currently working my way through a bottle of “Fiji” smells like papaya and vanilla.

    I am at a loss to think of a more man oriented brand of hygiene products than Old Spice. Maybe Axe, but do we really consider teenage boys men?

      Axe makes me break out something awful. Only been two periods of time I wore it, both because the lady I was with commented on it smelling nice when we were in a store, and then only wearing it on nights I was going out with her and hoping I’d recover before next time.

      I have little or no allergies regarding anything else, but deodorants for some reason are prone to setting me off (my suspicion is that it’s particular fragrances used in some of them). Currently Dove Men + Care is safe for me, so I use that.

      Thanks, will check out! Most of Old Spice falls under “smell like your grandpa” in my opinion :D

      Axe - true, though this is an abomination and I would definitely build a restriction zone around people who use it

      My teens (one girl one trans boy) are crazy about that Old Spice Fiji scent, and the laundry scent Suavitel Fresca Aroma Del Sol. I think the Fiji does smell a lot like the clean clothes.
