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"?

That's a feature not a bug. The goal is to smell woodsy like the barrel, not like an alcoholic.

It doesnt even smell like the barrell...i have on my shelf right right now several fragrances with "whiskey" in the name. Granted, I like all of them, they are good smells, but they smell nothing like aged oak, scorched aged oak, or other whiskey-adjacent things.
