A few months ago, we were at a supermarket with my mom, buying some stuff.

My mom needed an antiperspirant. When she was about to grab a black one, I heard a guy "helpfully" telling her that she was grabbing one "For Men™", that the ones "For Women™" were the pink ones.

I immediately looked at the guy like "lol what, who asked".

(My mom uses "men's" antiperspirants because she doesn't care about that, and they are usually cheaper than "women's")

Screenshot of a Twitter post from user Ron Iver (ronnui_ with an underscore at the end) as viewed through a Nitter instance. The post says: Women get to smell like real things (vanilla, lavender) but men have to smell like concepts. What the fuck is "cool sport rush"?

I've found a few locally made perfume of unscented. It's kind of amazing to me. It smells like "nothing" and "existing" as a scent concept.

Then there's a French fragrance of smelling like after sex. Reportedly it smells like, well, after sex. Sweaty, carnal.

    How tf would we know if something smells like after sex. That sounds like it smells awful, unless you are well, horny.

    Is there even an "after sex" smell that isn't just regular sweaty smell?

    Yeah, I gotta say, there is definitely an 'after sex' smell. I've cleaned up many a place, and it is obvious when folks have been humping. There's a distinct difference between a gym's sweaty smell and a bedroom/hotel room sweaty smell.
