It seems like the ladies get the better end of the deal when it comes to deodorants and fragrances. Dove produces subtle smells like powder and things that make you think of subtle freshness, comfort, and cleanliness. But it seems as though a decree was passed years back that stated that men were supposed to smell like "cool metal" or "chrome legend."
Sounds amazing, right? Wrong.
Those antiperspirants don’t have the subtlest of fragrances. But there’s no need to worry! John Varvatos has released a brand of deodorant exclusively for men called Star U.S.A., and it's offered on the John Varvatos website for $20. That might seem a bit steep to smell “fresh and woody” like red ginger, but it is well worth the investment. Star U.S.A. is quick drying (so no more of that cold, sticky feeling) and alcohol-free (which your skin will thank you for in the long run).
If that isn’t incentive enough, just think: Would you rather smell subtle but memorable, or harsh and infamous. The choice is ultimately up to you.
