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”)
I hate the fact that most (but not all fragrances) are shoehorned into male/female categories Its a smell! It doesn’t have genitalia, if you love it wear it And as a fragrance nerd I have a lot of supposedly ‘masculine’ scents full of woods, spices, booze etc A (male) truck driver mentioned that he loved wearing Chanel no5 on one of the fragrance sites which I think is fantastic! A man comfortable with himself and wearing what he loves
