Is there a bodyspray suitable for 30-something married men?

body spray is for people who can't afford cologne.

and it smells like shit.

I think the best product I've heard of is "benjamin". Seriously, roll around on a pile of hundreds in the morning and you'll smell like pure sex. Or coke. But mostly sex. Maybe a touch of syphilis.

If you're going to use body spray, don't go spraying that stuff around in public. That's my biggest beef with Axe - people think it's okay to spray it on in small rooms, buses, etc.

Get a nice cologne. I use John Varvatos - Vintage. It's got a spicy / leathery smell that's a far cry from the overdone "fresh" smell.

I'm sure there probably is...but it will smell like despair...and hopelessness. 😛

I like the old spice body spray. They have a few scents that smell more like regular cologne than axe does. I'm generally in favor of body sprays for due to the convenience factor alone though.

this one?

Yep. Weird, I haven't been able to find it around here for a while. Maybe they brought it back. I looked on Amazon a while ago too and the ones they had were people selling the older style cans for like 2-3 times the price. Actually that seems higher than what they were costing as well.

Typical ATOT elitist douchebag, just hating what's popular. :biggrin:

Axe, Right Guard, Old Spice etc, who cares? It's deodorant. Find one with a scent you like and use it. Not everyone will like your choice, but at the end of the day you'll be the one putting up with it the most. Buying Axe doesn't mean to cover your body with it.

39, married, i just use axe.

I haven't used Cologne in many years, I used to use this at one time when I did.

Bodyspray, aka 21st century perfume for men

I don't know, I've had multiple girls tell me I smell good...and all I have on is Degree deodorant. Beats me..

I say as long as you don't smell like one of those older office ladies you can smell flowers coming 5 minutes before they get to you, you are fine. Women are more concerned you don't smell like ass.

Also, Sex Panther.

So, you can get that on amazon, I'm going to get a bottle for my brothers birthday.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out! I've been putting on antiperspirant on all these years and I'd been wondering what the lingering poop smell was from! 🙄

 

[Carson Dyle]

Yeah, there's nothing that screams "trailer trash" like someone with B.O. who douses himself in deodorant or cologne.

If you stink immediately after sweating, you were already well on your way to a serious funk.

Have recently just bought a DE razor and like it.

Just using shaving soap like this seems to work for many people, I've yet to try a few out.

Seems you get a pretty good cologne effect just from the good soaps, and cheaper than canned cream long term.

Most make good other items also it looks.

I use a neutral antiperspirant more or less, but I want to try some of these out with the new shaving gear.

What's wrong with the way your body smells? There's a difference between perspiration an rancid sweat. Body spray or cologne does nothing for the latter and is unnecessary for the former.

If you mean me nothing.

I was just looking for a good shaving soap more or less. might start a thread about it.

Body spray is just cheap, 'watered' down cologne. You really don't want that and neither do most women. Your buddies likely won't care so long as you aren't pungent.
That's not to say that all expensive cologne is superior to all cheap ones, but many of them tend to last longer and have a larger base of people that generally like the smell.
There are many that get almost sick from the smell of many cheaper ones...bodyspray included. 96% of women polled last year chose Polo Red, 1 million came in second. Body sprays typically get negative results. Wearing nothing at all is fine typically but depends on factors obviously, at some point on a hot day, you're likely to have a smell not too admirable.

The key...according to women polled, is to keep it light. With smells like Ambery, musk, hint of leather. Winter time go for spice, warm like tones such as 1 million by Paco Rabonne. I generally like colognes with a leather like smell personally and mist it light. Good cologne lasts all day but you won't notice it as much because you're used to it and this is why some men end up putting way too much on but don't realize it.....so anyway try that rather than coat your body in cheap smelling crap that doesn't even mask your odor later in the day when it's hot out.

No, I meant the OP.

I also like John Varvatos colognes, most of them smell pretty manly, in a straight not homo sort of way.

Skip the Axe stuff if you dont like it. Use cologne to freshen up
